Child psychologists weigh Trump's “Taylor Swift”

We all know about Trump's most recent bad swipe at Taylor Swift: Trump explains Taylor Swift since he said he hated her. Of course, this triggered speculation about why when Taylor Swift is no longer hot, why Trump is so obsessed with?

Swift, which understandably has a somewhat lower profile, since she completed her two -year tour with 149 shows in December, has recently said nothing about the president. But Trump clearly sits around and thinks about Swift's popularity, even if he should concentrate on his departure from the Middle East.

(Swift is indeed working on a new album that may be released later this month.)

Some media just winced it. CBS: “It was not clear what Mr. Trump's MID-AIR considerations made about Swift. The pop megastar has retained a lower public profile in recent weeks.”

But the Huffington Post decided to do better: they asked a few child psychologists to weigh Trump's obsession with Taylor Swift: Trump's new contribution about Taylor Swift is so immature that we needed child psychologists to explain their thinking.

His contribution is problematic in an countless way, but it is also very, very immature. In fact, therapists who see children and adolescents said Huffpost that it was an explanation that they would expect from one of their young customers, not from an almost 79-year-old man, it would be surprising.

“The tone and the content of the contribution resembles childish behavior – impulsive, unprovoked and missing fundamental decency; even this comparison can be unfair to children,” said Samantha Rhoads, a marriage and family therapist at the therapy group in Pennsylvania, opposite Huffpost via e -Mail.

In fact, three child psychologists went a detail about Trump “Childlike Behavior”:

• Firstly, it is sexist and reminds of the outdated 'boys will be young mantra, the therapists said.
• It is emotionally impulsive, which can be seen often in children – but not even at this level, they said.
• In childhood, this is known as “protective puffing”.
• Children and adolescents have a very self -centered point of view that is developmental. For Trump, they didn't say.
• It illustrates the behavior of teenagers, Grouthink, they said.
• Like a child, if he wants to pay attention, they said.
• Point empty – it is bullying and it is poisonous, they said.

(These are headlines in history that are condensed as spherical points.)

Protection puffing: “When someone feels unsafe, rejected or powerless, he try to regain control by insulting or devaluing the other person. ”

Iow, Swift leaves Trump unsafe, rejected, powerless. It is probably true that every strong woman will have this effect on Trump, what is Why he always tries to put them down.

A few other very moving – and disturbing – observations of these specialists in – once again, child – psychology.

“When public figures model this kind of behavior, it normalizes emotional immaturity and public bullying – especially for women”, “Shehan” [a marriage and family therapist] added.
