Description: " It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era but Americans should know that there are adults in the room . And we are trying to do what's right even when Donald Trump won't." - - An anonymous senior administrative official in an op - ed published in a New York Times op - ed September 5, 2018 Every president faces criticism and caricature. Donald Trump however is unique in that he is routinely characterized in ways more suitable for a toddler. What's more it is not just Democrats pundits or protestors who compare the president to a child; Trump's staffers subordinates and allies on Capitol Hill also describe Trump like a small badly behaved preschooler. In April 2017, Daniel W. Drezner began curating every example he could find of a Trump ally describing the president like a toddler. So far he's collected more than one thousand tweets - - a rate of more than one a day. In The Toddler - in - Chief Drezner draws on these examples to take readers through the different dimensions of Trump's infantile behavior from temper tantrums to poor impulse control to the possibility that the President has had too much screen time. How much damage can really be done by a giant man - baby? Quite a lot Drezner argues due to the winnowing away of presidential checks and balances over the past fifty years. In these pages Drezner follows his theme - - the specific ways in which sharing some of the traits of a toddler makes a person ill - suited to the presidency - - to show the lasting deleterious impact the Trump administration will have on American foreign policy and democracy. The "adults in the room" may not be able to rein in Trump's toddler - like behavior but with the 2020 election fast approaching the American people can think about whether they want the most powerful office turned into a poorly run political day care facility. Drezner exhorts us to elect a commander - in - chief not a toddler - in - chief. And along the way he shows how we must rethink the terrifying powers we have given the presidency.
