To use an old Southern expression, Trump's a "Titty Baby"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/tags.php?tag=titty%20baby

TOP DEFINITION

titty babies

...More times than not they turn out to be micromanaging, arrogant, armchair employees that are afraid to roll up their sleeves and actually get involved with anything. They are more concerned about status symbols, time off, and where to eat lunch.


I haven't heard the expression for years, but it always applied to a helpless, child-like person who was never weaned properly. Someone who never really grew up, but is still displaying the mannerisms and dependencies of an infant.

Someone who reacts to everything as a small child would, whining, throwing tantrums, refusing to listen, imperious and so forth.

I'm not from the South, but my maternal grandmother was. She used the expression often, in reference to adults who didn't act like adults.

That's why he's so often depicted as a baby in diapers by political cartoonists.

Yup. Trump's a titty baby

And call him a titty baby shit ass.

Pretty much the same thing, but extra whiny, on accounta he is wearing a soiled diaper.

I think Trump qualifies.

It was alleged to break the No bigotry/insensitivity rule.

Maybe the reasoning was that only women nurse babies, therefore it was offensive to women (or something). If so, that doesn't make a bit of sense to me.

Its offensive because it ascribes negativity towards breastfed babies/toddlers.

We have enough trouble in this society trying to convince people that breastfeeding is good and natural and wholesome without resurrecting some old ignorant saying from the old South.

And I'm not even going to try to explain to you why your definition as "never weaned properly" is offensive. Trust me, its one of those things that is nobodies business but mother and child.

But I agree, Donald is a whiny immature little man who is more concerned with status symbols, time off, and where to eat lunch.

Peace.

A mamón originally refered to a kid goat past it's weaning age but still demanding milk from his mother's teat; head butting her in the udder sometimes to try to get the last drop of milk.

It also refers to a male human who exhibits similar child-like dependence on his mother.
