I never supported Hillary and think Trump has some solid ideas but we're only a week in and he's already getting kind of tiresome with his constant whining. Admittedly he was also doing it during his campaign, so maybe I should've gotten used to it by now, but I figured once he won he would calm down and start acting with a little more class and being less insecure and defensive.
I've been around since Reagan, so lived through Clinton, both Bushes and Obama and never remember a US President who came across as even close to as much of a whiner as Trump does. Is it because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to multi-millionaire parents who spoiled him and made him come across as so entitled? I don't remember any candidate, let alone President, who played the victim as much as he does. As crappy as Hillary was as a choice for the American people, at least she wasn't constantly sticking out her bottom lip and pouting like her main opponent was.
On the one hand the extent to which Trump has come to be considered a big ol' whiner could be reduced if he quit tweeting, since that's where most of his complaining can be seen, but on the other hand, is the tweeting also something which actually draws a large amount of his supporters to him?
ETA: This is not an accusation which is even close to controversial by the way. The man himself doesn't deny it. In fact he's flat-out called himself a whiner --- http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015...us-whiner-want-to-have-flexibility-on-policy/
I'm mostly interested in how him being that type of person plays to the American public. Clearly anyone who supports him can have zero problem with people who come across as whiners.
EDIT 7/5/2019: Over two years later there can be zero doubt, this clownshow whines more than the other 44 combined. And sadly at this point it doesn't even look like the Dems have what it takes to field someone effective enough to take over from him. Get your shit together America, this just gets more and more embarrassing.
