      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?"

          you can take this a step further and say that the entire GOP has been about testing boundaries lately, Trump just better at it

          It's an interesting strategy that only works in good times. Things go south, there's enough rope and reason to hang him 20 times.

          Trump has been "testing boundaries" since Day 1. This tweet is from year & 1/2 ago. America married him.https://twitter.com/roseperson/status/634734117624631296 …

          Trump is like that jerk boyfriend who wants to break up but doesn't want to do it himself so he keeps doing terrible things til you do it.

          I think he's upped gears on it since winning. Whatever shred of self-doubt he might hv had before is gone.

          8. With his Putin-philia, Trump is daring the GOP elite: "Go ahead, stop me." He knows they'll chicken out. That'll make him stronger.
