Michael D’Antonio interviewed Donald Trump for six hours straight whilst writing a biography and has had a deeper look into the life of someone he warns not overestimate.

D’Antonio says that trump is like a chicken seeking constant instant gratification and is absolutely a power junkie hell bent on feeling his own greatness.

Basically, he won’t become a more moderate and understanding president, nothing in his way will stop him from feeding his self approval habit.

D’Antonion wrote a scathing piece in the New York Daily news titled “Critics of Trump’s nasty Twitter attacks miss the point: He simply cannot stop even if he wanted to”.

Here is an excerpt from the piece:

“Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!” Next Jones received a flood of angry anonymous calls, including death threats.

With his itchy Twitter finger, Trump made a working guy in Indiana a target for any crazy person willing to seize on the information he sent out — the man’s name and union local — to harass him. In a week when someone acted on a false social-media-driven conspiracy theory by bringing guns to break up a supposed child abuse ring at a pizza joint, in Washington, D.C., Trump’s behavior seems reckless in the extreme.

But critics who tell Trump to behave more maturely, even presidentially, are missing something crucial: The President-elect probably cannot control himself. I interviewed him for six hours when writing a biography, and I mean that literally.

Long an advocate of responding “10 times harder” when his feelings are hurt — and they are very easily hurt — Trump has a tendency to strike with massive force without much concern for the size or vulnerability of the person in his sights. I suspect this is because the pain he feels when criticized doesn’t depend on the source. No matter who speaks out, he cannot bear disapproval.

He also views life as a kind of combat. “My life is war,” he told Bill O’Reilly of Fox News. In war, massive and total retaliation against any and all enemies is considered a winning strategy.

During the election campaign, Trump demonstrated his life-is-war philosophy by demonizing reporters who tried to cover his campaign as independent journalists and encouraged violence against protesters.

He threatened to “unleash” his “beautiful” Twitter account against Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after she aired a segment about his first divorce, adding “and I still may.”

He used Twitter to lash out at an 18-year-old young woman who noted at a campaign rally in New Hampshire that he didn’t seem to be a “friend to women.” She was subjected to torrent of threats, many sexually explicit, from people posing as Trump supporters.

Unseemly and irresponsible in a candidate, Trump’s overreactions are downright dangerous when they come from someone with the power he now possesses. Besides the obvious danger that arises when a president or President-elect paints a rhetorical target on a citizen’s back, we have to consider the civic damage done when people are made afraid to speak their mind about a political leader.
