President Elect slams cast of Hamilton...

It would be playground-level name calling--except that Trump's tweets tend to be playground-level name calling. He is a grown man who responds to conflicts like an angry junior high kid on social media.

There is no getting around that. This is the man who tweeted a picture of his wife next to Cruz's to call Cruz's wife ugly.  That's not just a thin skin. It is TERRIBLY bad judgment--like parading Clinton accusers at a national debate. And his own staff is full of anecdotes of the tricks they use to keep him on task and out of trouble. Make their suggestions appear as his own ideas. Never confront him directly. He has a penchant for agreeing with and praising the last person who was nice to him--including Obama, who appears to have taken a page from Kellyanne Conway's playbook.

Making "big decisions" in the business your father gave you--and saved from you--doesn't mean you can't be a man child.
And being one becomes an acute problem when you have to be accountable to diverse groups of people in a way that you don't when you own your own business and can surround yourself with yes-men who want to keep their jobs.

And there is reason for concern here in that now all foreign leaders--not all of the them friends--know about Trump's thin skin.
They know which trivial matters may keep him tweeting at 3 am as major events affecting the US national interest are unfolding abroad.
