Donald Trump Is A Bully Who Dish It But Can't Take It

He may give off the tough-guy persona, but Mr. Trump is easy to rattle.

Donald Trump Is A Bully Who Dish It But Can't Take It
NBC News

“My party has gone batshit crazy.”

So said former Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), on February 26 at the Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner.

Imagine what he would have said if the dinner were after the most recent GOP presidential debate, and I use the term "presidential" rather generously. Donald Trump's penis joke, the petty personal insults, and other stuff you'd expect to hear by the monkey bars of an elementary school rather than a presidential debate stage.

Oddly enough, swearing became the focal point of a recent news cycle when former Mexican president Vicente Fox rebuked Trump, “I’m not going to pay for that f***ing wall,” during an interview with Univision’s Al Punto.

Trump rebutted on Twitter: “FMR PRES of Mexico, Vicente Fox horribly used the F word when discussing the wall. He must apologize! If I did that there would be a uproar!”

On the latest episode of HBO's “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the host barraged Trump with a montage of expletives barked by the Donald in public, thus highlighting his hypocrisy.

One example of Trump’s impeccable decorum was at a campaign rally just prior to the New Hampshire primary. The real estate mogul repeated what an audience member said about Ted Cruz, announcing, “She said, ‘He’s a pussy.’”

Crying foul or blaming the media is nothing new for Donald Trump. Recall when he refused to attend a GOP debate because Megyn Kelly of FOX News was going to moderate. Why couldn’t he stand her? He didn’t like her questions.

Recently, some audio leaked of Trump speaking with the hosts of the TV show “Morning Joe” during a commercial break. Trump joked to Mika Brzezinski to not ask anything too difficult. But the Donald then told both hosts to, “make us all look good.” Again, if you can’t take the heat…

He may give off the tough-guy persona, but Trump is easy to rattle.

Whether it comes from television hosts, debate moderators or former Mexican presidents—the Donald doesn’t handle opposition well. This may be a problem when he would—ostensibly—have to work with Democrats in Congress who likely won’t agree with him. Furthermore, how will this inability affect his dealings with world leaders? Will his temper flare when under pressure?

It’s easy to talk tough and be brash, but far harder to consider a differing opinion and choose to engage respectfully and intelligently. A dominant performance on Super Tuesday including victories in seven of the 11 states, in addition to winning Kentucky and Louisiana on Saturday may have put Trump in good shape, but he's still in poor form.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
