        Most bullies identify someone as a target of hate. It creates a pack mentality for their supporters and seeks to weaken any threats. Trump’s use is a prime example.

        With one big exception: mafia families usually commit their crimes below the radar. The Trumps, on the other hand, seem to be doing everything in their power to get caught. Either this behavior is motivated by a guilty conscience, or they are just incredibly stupid.

        “I love it!” By “it,” of course, I mean “the way the self-proclaimed tough guy curls into a fetal position every time Putin clears his throat.”
