So I was having a conversation with a close friend of mine at sunset last night. She grew up in eastern Europe. She grew up under communism, still spends time there. These days she does early childhood education.

She made a point I had not heard before which I thought was salient, and I don’t hear echoed enough. Trump has the behavioral patterns of a toddler. His focus, his motivation is to have the attention placed on him. And what he wants? What he wants is to be recognized as a strong man. To have the world as afraid of him as they are of Putin.

So when we’re trying to think of the implementation of these plans and to what end, this is maybe a way to think about it.
