I agree, he handled it well. 


My statement was in response to a joke that Trump is just going to sit in the corner while the adults run things.  Given that context I don't see how my statement could be confusing.  The man makes yuuge decisions as part of his daily life.  Being thin skinned and hot tempered doesn't make you a man-child, being incapable of functioning successfully in the adult world does.

as a society, we don't value anyone's privacy much any more. Whether it's being forced to listen to someone's opinion or being prohibited from a long list things in your own home, we're a culture where everyone is trying to tell you what you're doing wrong.
