Trump Beginning to Go Bonkers, Yelling at His TV Sets

Bush the Second was at least good-natured. Trump is actively malicious.
You may be forgetting his false pretense in attempting to justify the invasion of Iraq, as well as his willingness to cover his challenge of the UN by presenting a so-called "coallition of the willing".

I don't get it either. Seems odd to me since they can't hear you, understand, respond, or correct itself because you talked to it.

Anger displacement. It's common when people watch sports. And in the primaries I remember uncontrollably yelling "****ing lying scum!" at my computerscreen as I watched the live stream and one of the candidates just outright straight up lied. I think it was Trump, but it might of been Clinton.

All this because Trump yells at TV sets.

Wow.
Well, after this thread, it does seem more common than I previously thought. As far as TV goes, the only thing I find more bizarre is not talking to the TV but to the characters.

His so-called "good nature" basically paved the way for ISIS. Al-Qaeda attacked, he told the nation to keep shopping, he started an unwinnable war that left chaos and destruction in its wake, he started another unwinnable war based entirely on lies, and things have only continued to get worse.

Of course it's a waste; just like yelling at the stupid driver that cut you off on the road (when he can't hear) and so forth. It's also very human for many.

True, sadly it shows that the 'many' allow a more primitive emotive response in preference to considerate use of their grey matter.

When you stand on a Playmobil pirate holding a cutlass you can say "gosh that was jolly painful" or you can call him "a ****ing little plastic ****".

Both serve the same purpose.

You can grumble online or to your friends about what you see on tv or you can shout at the tv (like when your team misses an open goal), both serve the same purpose which is catharsis rather than belief you can influence anything.

I yell at sports whilst watching them on the tv sometimes.
Even more weirdly, I've yelled at games I was watching on delay.

I like to think it's quirky, rather than bat-guano insane.

Trump is the oldest person to ever become President.

He's also, clearly, emotionally unstable and immature.

He also may be suffering from any number of psychological pathologies.

Do the math.

My neighbour goes crazy when his football team is playing. The shouts and screams get worse as his side loses, which Crystal Palace always does. :D
