Bullying Works
Sadly, power-playing other people can be a winning strategy
If women were physically stronger than men does anyone believe they’d be taken advantage of in the numbers they are now?
Even though there are more guns than people in the United States, someone’s physical size still matters in how strangers, friends, and family treat them.
Big, strong, people, intimidate smaller, weaker ones.
Why?
It harks back to survival of the fittest…you know…the circle of life…bigger creatures eat smaller creatures and it all comes out in the wash.
We’re learning from Trump that bullying works.
In the past few days, he’s threatened to make Canada our 51st state, take over the Panama Canal, and purchase Greenland.
Truth is — if Trump wants to — there’s not a country on earth (including Russia and China) that can stop him…America is simply too strong militarily and economically.
Most leaders are not suicidal….so they don’t call Trump’s bluff….in case he’s not bluffing….which nobody seems to really know.
We’ve not had a president in modern times who talks like a classic, schoolyard bully…..i.e. give me what’s yours or I’ll physically take it from you.
