When one reacts to any slight by immediately belittling and ridiculing the transgressor, and does so virtually 100% of the time, assuming that habitual reaction has some long-range planning behind it this time (or every time, for that matter) strikes me as a rather inelegant explanation.

He was made to look bad, he lashed out in return. The next 100 times someone disses him, he'll likely react the same way somewhere between 99 and 100 of those times.

You're probably right. There is probably SOMETHING we don't see; Trump wouldn't just take Bannon out like this if the only concern was the book.

But yes, his strategy involves counter-punching anybody who attacks him, and if that person's attack gains any traction whatsoever, Trump goes scorched earth against that person.

This word implies it is planned and calculated; I think it's more visceral than that. Calculated moves don't necessarily repeat themselves every time (though they can), a strategist is generally more flexible and chooses their battles.

You're conflating strategy and strategist.

Nonsense and/or trolling.

A strategist is one who uses a strategy.

It's like saying you're mixing things up by calling someone driving a car a 'driver'.

Wrong. It's not someone who uses a strategy. It means something very specific:

a person skilled in planning action or policy, especially in war or politics

a person skilled in strategy

an expert in strategy, especially in warfare

You're trying to call someone who drives a truck a trucker or someone who bakes a cake a baker.

So replace the word 'strategist' in my post with 'someone who's using a strategy'. Better?

No because you're implying that Trump is still someone skilled at strategy in the political realm, and he's not. It's much simpler than that.

He talks shit because he can. If you show you aren't loyal to him or if you're opposing him, he's going to light your ass up. It's simple.

If he didn't pick his battles, how does he have a business, family, or any friends?

He's just crazy! 25th Amendment! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There are plenty of people who react that way to criticism and manage those things as well.

Ah, so he makes a distinction between between a personal attack and a non-personal attack. Do you think he makes a distinction between level of importance of a personal attack, meaning do you think he thinks it is more important to tear down a personally attacking Rosie O'Donnell than it is to tear down a personally attacking Soros Twitter Troll?

[Poopadoop]

do you think he thinks it is more important to tear down a personally attacking Rosie O'Donnell than it is to tear down a personally attacking Soros Twitter Troll?

I don't know what you're talking about with Soros twitter troll, sorry.

But since you mentioned it, another person might draw the line well above Rosie O'Donnell when it comes to which critics and what criticisms warrant an immediate and aggressive response.

Yeah Trump used to be on the same level as Rosie so he countered her a lot but now he is beyond that level and his behavior reflects.

[wufwugy]

A Soros Twitter Troll is one of those accounts that respond within seconds to everything Trump tweets with nasty personal attacks that get users who are not ctrl-left banned. Certainly Ivanka has to yank the phone out of Dad's hands after each tweet before he is able to look at any responses. It's a full time job. Maybe that's why they got the Gorilla Channel. Now Trump isn't even bothered by Ivanka taking his phone because the gorillas are fighting.

[wufwugy]

I lol'd at soros twitter troll. i dont know if they are soros funded (probs are). but they are defo twitter trolls and there are a billion of them and they attack trump in the most personal way people can imagine.

This string of Lakoff posts is fantastic. Pretty sure he's no fan of Trump. From the one quoted above

May be the most credible view of why Trump tweets the way he does I've come across.
