If Insecurity and Petty Had a Baby, They’d Birth Donald Trump

If insecurity and pettiness decided to create a child and release it upon the world, it’s safe to say their offspring would be none other than Donald Trump.

Trump, a former president of the United States and perpetual headline grabber, embodies these negative traits so thoroughly that they have become defining aspects of his persona. Beneath his bluster, bravado, and self-promoted myth of being a “strong man” lies a personality riddled with insecurity, childish antics, rudeness, and an unparalleled dedication to pettiness.

The man who once occupied the Oval Office has turned petulance and immaturity into a public performance.
