      1. Our twin girls are almost two years old. Raising them has helped me understand tweets like this. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/814919370711461890 …

      2. The key to toddlers is they are always testing boundaries: earning rules of social behaviour & figuring out what they can get away with.

      3. Trump's entire campaign & post-election behaviour has been all about testing boundaries: seeing what voters & GOP will put up with.

      4. In adults (as opposed to toddlers) testing boundaries is also about establishing dominance: showing what you can make people accept.

      5. The only institutional force that can really check Trump is Congress (GOP controlled). So Trump has been testing their boundaries hard.

      6. The conflicts of interest, the crony capitalism, the protectionism, the Putin-love. All ways of saying to GOP "Are you going to stop me?"

          I look forward to your next Freud piece where you explain that in true Freudian fashion it means "Please stop me."

          Trump is the id; and he said, "You're fired!" to the superego and the ego has to go along with the id.

          I think the GOP has been only silent in regards to Trump. God only knows what that means.

          The Congressional GOP is in the position of, in normal person terms, needing their toddler's signature on their mortgage.

          The GOP does have boundaries. Trump just needs to propose a slight increase to rich people's taxes. The reaction would be furious.

          When a boundary is set, toddlers tend to pitch a fit, have melt down. With Trump, pitching a fit might literally melt us all down.

          Unless the GOP wouldn't dare to try to stop him because then the leaks of RNC e-mails would begin.

          IMO GOP thinks they can control Trump by threatening to pull support. Unfortunately they also likely think he's rational...
