There's a thin-skinned psychopath with a nuclear button. Is taunting him for always chickening out a good idea?

[Doodley]

Now there's another thin-skinned psychopath with a nuclear button, but this one is threatening WW3.

1. We can't live in fear

He is a mentally unstable bully and who knows what might trigger him but we can’t bend the knee and let him get away with destroying our country, we must use all the tools we can to defeat him including ridicule. As nutso as he is he might get pissed because his McDonald’s doesn’t taste right.

2. It's OK - He bullies and blusters, but it's all a bluff; he's chicken

3. Hopefully we can do better than TACO.

IMO it's just stupid, like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Especially for Americans to do it, because Trump's pattern is that when his foreign policy suffers a failure, he turns around and double-fucks the United States in frustration. Watch him think of some creative new way to terrorize our private universities, or remove more of the mechanisms we had in place to help Americans after a natural disaster (or to prevent them). If he's embarrassed abroad, he comes home and kicks the dog (so to speak).

4. Yes, it's a great idea

Capitulating to him is the worst possible thing to do. Assholes like him only thrive on weakness. And it is weakness to continually cave in like that. When you stand up to his bullying, you are also standing up to the millions of MAGA cult members as well.

You do you, but I have always got in their faces and will continue to do so. 100% of the time they have backed down. 100%!

6. I agree, capitulation and appeasement just feeds the evil monster.

Yes psychopaths hate weakness in others. They will just become more and more cruel and ruthless.

8. A line from Game of Death

" It is better to die a broken piece of jade than to live a life of clay."

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes better to die with integrity doing the right thing, than to live doing evil.

[Paladin]

5. Look at what decades of timid behavior have done for Democrats.

If we don't stand up forcefully to trump at this point, we pave the way for the finalization of a police state. Fuck that.

7. Edmund Burke

I believe it was Edmund Burke who said "All that is necessary for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing"

[Torchlight]

10. Is there a reason this would taunt him above and beyond

all the other taunts and mockery?

[Kingofalldems]

11. You mean TACO Trump?
