Description

Donald Trump has been described in ways that are more suitable for a toddler. This unique characterization is not limited to his critics, but also extends to his allies and staff. Daniel W. Drezner examines over 1,000 tweets that illustrate the president's infantile behavior, from tantrums to poor impulse control. Drezner argues that Trump's traits, often seen in toddlers, make him ill-suited for the presidency. He explores how these characteristics can have a lasting impact on American foreign policy and democracy. This book delves into the specific ways in which sharing some of the traits of a toddler affects presidential decision-making. The Toddler-in-Chief offers a nuanced analysis of Trump's behavior and its consequences for the country.
