Are people raising their kids to talk like this? (see below)

I'm reading the book right now, and it's really something. I'm sure Trump himself was one of the sources, but he's too addled and inherently stupid to know what he's saying half the time. I'll write more about it as I go on.

It tracks closely with what we've already seen. He's incredibly angry and vengeful, but also completely convinced that he is history's greatest leader based on the fact that he has beaten back every single accusation and managed to evade any consequences for his failures his entire life. I think at this point he may actually be convinced that he is the chosen one. On some level, he knows that he has no clue what he's doing and is operating on sheer impulse, and yet here he is, the most powerful man in the world. He must be ordained by God. Or maybe he IS god. He has always been right about everything!

And yet, deep down, he knows. And he's still terrified of making a huge, inalterable mistake. All that means, though, is that he may not be willing to drop a nuclear bomb. Anything else, he chalks up to "it'll all work out, it always does" and moves on to the next atrocity. Since he doesn't care at all about anyone but himself, whatever collateral damage results from his impulsive decisions is irrelevant to him.

We are living through a very dramatic period in history. This deeply disturbed individual to become the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, with a following in the tens of millions, is one for the ages.

A similar thing happened a hundred years ago and it turned the whole world upside down. We just have to hope that the old "history repeats itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce" holds up and our watered-down version doesn't end up blowing up the world.
