A presidential temper tantrum

I find it interesting that defenders of Donald Trump are so blinkered that they can not distinguish between legitimate criticism of him, and partisan opposition.

They label anyone who is critical as suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome when in fact they suffer from TDS – Toady Defence Syndrome. There is nothing he does they won’t defend.

Take this story:

Two days after he said buying Greenland wasn’t a top priority, President Donald Trump canceled an upcoming trip to Denmark, which owns the mostly frozen island, after its prime minister dismissed the idea. …

But on Tuesday, Trump abruptly canceled the visit, also by tweet.
Just a few hours earlier, the U.S. ambassador to Denmark tweeted that it was “ready for the POTUS @realDonaldTrump visit!” using an acronym for “President of the United States” along with Trump’s Twitter handle.
Trump wrote: “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time.”

Yes the President of the United States cancelled a trip because the Prime Minister of Denmark refuses to sell Greenland to him. My God, you couldn’t write fiction this bizarre.

He really does act at times like a toddler, throwing temper tantrums.
