What is Trump's Mental Age ?

I think it can't be more than 14 and maybe not even that high .

i think most people in their late teens / early 20s would know not to say the things he says about stupid shit when it comes to serious matters. for example a young person who had issues at their fast food or sales clerk job would know not to react the way he does.

the thing about his tweets is not just that it shows how thin skinned he is, but that they sound so immature like his "he did it first" excuse.

also the things he complains about are just stupid. usually things having to do with his popularity . not anger over what me might see as lies about policy.


is it because of the inherited wealth and never having to work for anything ?

talks like he's in grade school and I think somewhat mentally challenged for whatever reason - early dementia maybe?

4. More like a 7-year-old: "Look at me!" "I'm the best!" "You're mean to me!"

He really is embarrassingly infantile and so easily wounded. I suspect that he's got a serious character disorder, and probably incipient Alzheimer's (like his father) as well.

....according to people who ought to know, and it's the main reason he got sent to military school. He was horrible there, too, but found a system he could manipulate, I think.

His father was a horrible person, too. Gods know what his mother was like.

In addition to the sociopathy, there seems to be something else seriously wrong by now -- like dementia.

SNL makes fun of Trump. Trump's response: "Alec Baldwin is a big meanie head!"

Hamilton audience boos Mike Pence. Trump's response: "Mike Pence deserves our respect. Cast of Hamilton should apologize!"

New York Times prints article about Trump. Trump's response: "New York Times is failing. Bunch of stupid heads!"

Hillary Clinton runs against Trump. Trump's response: "Hillary Clinton is crooked!"

Trump supporters deface Adam Yauch Park in New York City with swastikas and "Heil Trump!". Trump's response: absolutely nothing. Zero.

I could do this all day.

He's a " hey you kids, get off my lawn" old man.

Nothing childlike, playful and free spirited about him.

He's a spoiled curmudgeon with a bad comb-over.

Narcissism and sociopathy and early dementia. He's going to get a lot of people killed so he can make more money.
