It's like a 10 year old boy is leading America

A 10 year old boy who is also a felon, a rapist, and fucks 10 year old girls, while letting other 10 year old boys dictate policy while he golfs and rapes people.

He's more like a ten year old boy who fucks three-year-old girls who don't yet have the language to say what happened to them...and when they get snitchy, he threatens them with violence to shut them up, often demonstrating on a small animal.

I think I'm trying to say he's not just a precocious kid with anger issues, but a precocious kid with a cruelty streak and symptoms of physical neurological effects and poses a danger to himself and others.

As in precocious puberty. Kids who are sexually activated (by premature hormone reactions which can be triggered -- not always -- by sexual abuse) so they get sexually interested before their peers, and ruin recess for everyone else.

When I was growing up (mind you, I was a late, late bloomer) precocious puberty in girls was punished brutally (say being grounded for life). Precocious puberty in boys was rewarded with early sports careers, unless you sucked, in which case you were punished for being a sex pest. This was a source of bullies that preyed on the rest of us.

This is to say, the US really doesn't know how to parent or teach or otherwise administrate children. This is also to say I am way, way bitter about it.

ETA This is one of the purposes of puberty blockers, when it's not used to let questioning trans kids decide to deliberate on what they want to be for a while, so I hope things are generally better. But then, considering how puberty blockers are now politicized, precocious puberty is also politicized, which ruins everyone's Sunday brunch.

Yeah I think trump is the polar opposite of precocious. He still acts like a spoilt child at 79
