Don’t let the comb-over fool you. Donald Trump’s rhetorical style is straight out of middle school. The way Trump tends to make his disapproval known comically calls to mind the schoolyard bully. Usually, with eighth-grade girls, there is a moment of reckoning that gets them to reform their behavior. But Trump, due to his wealth (“very rich,” he says) and privilege, has never had such a moment, because there have rarely been consequences for the things he says and does.
