Will Trump be able to handle the tough scrutiny of the Presidency?

[History505]

Being President is no easy job, do you think he will be able to handle the criticism that comes with the job?

This post is sarcastic, right?

[Inmate Trump]

He couldn't handle criticism during the campaign. He can't handle criticism while president-elect. He won't be able to handle it while in office (er....while he's lounging around in New York wasting taxpayer money rather than living in the friggin White House).

Donald showed up to the 2nd debate being labelled a pussygrabber and half the female population of his Florida locale claiming sexual assault.

And he walked out and was quite calm.

I could not believe how well adjusted he was to the media.

Trump looked more nervous meeting Barack Obama for the first time. The enormity of the White House had started to sink in.

So from a TV perspective, "The Donald" has it covered for media scrutiny.

The only way to answer your question effectively is to wait for a terrorist attack on home soil, a mass shooting, or US citizens or soldiers being kidnapped overseas.

Then Trump will lose his sh**t.

That's why he dropped out in August 2015 right?

Since when did addressing the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of one's critics become unable to handle criticism?

Depends on your definition of "handle."

People seem to have this mental model of "president" or "presidential candidate" as some kind of college-debate-team-champion/civics-professor/bank-manager hybrid who's supposed to conduct himself in a certain way and all this stuff. But that's all perception, it's pretty much just a made-up expectation we get from TV. There's nothing that says a president can't throw temper tantrums like a 3 year-old if he wants to. What matters in the end is how he executes the law, with how he influences national conversations and morale as an "also ran."

Trump will handle criticism in a way that causes you to pay attention to what he wants you to pay attention to and not to what he doesn't. That's what he's been doing this whole time.

Trump's Twitter account shows just how well he handles any kind of "scrutiny."

Narcissists are incapable of handling any type of criticism as their lack of self-esteem and constant need to find affirmation of their self-worth from others is their dominant personality trait. We've already witnessed time and again how poorly Trump has handled anything that damages his self-proclaimed image as intelligent, successful, and well-liked.

Let me put it this way... I'm just waiting for a another Watergate to happen.
