Every day you read that Trump was "enraged" about this or that. It's never that...

[RussellCattle]

...he is displeased, or unhappy, but always enraged. It must be exhausting to go through life with your outrage meter stuck on ten. Today's Talking Points Memo article is an example, but they do go on to say that he was merely having a "conniption", which I find a charming use of the language.

1. 'Conniption' derived from the coarser corruption. Conniption fit' reminds me of the somewhat more

'diplomatic' derivation of the phrase 'friggin ____' from the coarser vulgate so common phrase 'fuggin'/fuckin. ____'.

A trump 'conniption fit', less charming, more coverup, - to me.

4. Never happy

He has no joy. No humor. No optimism.

He is a cancker sore of a man.

6. He just

a ugly old child, that never matured. Over reacting is all he does, because he’s not an adult.
Just a silly old man, who spouts stupid shit daily.
