Pointing out things that “aren’t fair!” is a well-worn & time-tested part of political campaigns, but Trump whines about things being “not fair!” so often it makes you think if there’s an actual reason for it, and it’s dawned on me that this particular language fits in perfectly with the view of Trump as an overgrown toddler. One of the very first things kids learn to say is “that’s not fair!”; after all, little kids have an incredibly honed sense of justice (albeit usually when it comes to the portions of whatever cake/snacks/whatever is going around at any given moment.)
So it makes perfect sense this is something Trump spews on a constant basis, as one fucking toddler screaming at people he sees as his fellow toddlers to be outraged at something being “not fair!” without really bothering to consider what a solution could be before moving on to the next thing to be just blindly be outraged about as being “not fair!”. It’s the verbal version of throwing your food on the floor and whining over & over no matter what the meal is, or what it should even be.
