Aw I'm not an infant. I like to know precise meanings & notice when people are imprecise, don't mind when my mistakes are pointed out to me. If I heard something incorrect I probably wouldn't say anything in real life because there's a time and place but would think it. Here isn't real life tho' & we learn all the time. That's the reason places like this exist.

From Cambridge dictionary:-
tantrum
noun [ C ]
UK  /ˈtæn.trəm/ US  /ˈtæn.trəm/
 
a sudden period of uncontrolled anger like a young child's:
"Charlie had/threw a tantrum in the shop because I wouldn't buy him any sweets."
If she doesn't get her own way she has (temper) tantrums.

Trent:-  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/21/trump-monumental-sulk-president-retreats-from-public-eye-covid-ravages-us

I especially like this bit:-
“Donald Trump has not only suffered a catastrophic political defeat, he’s clearly also suffering from a deep emotional break. This behavior is even more erratic than usual and he has retreated. He has put himself in a form of psychological isolation. His emotional state is clearly abysmal. In the popular lexicon, he’s lost it.”

One way of looking at it I suppose.

There are many articles on-line stating that Trump has a serious mental health problem, which appears to be the case if his behaviour since the election is anything to go by. It is really scary that he still has nearly two months to go before Biden takes over! :o

True, but Trump's behaviour does give rise to serious concern.

If you are worried about law suits after you are President, and are willing to do most things to save yourself, then sanity may be the scariest thing.

So you reckon Trump is pretending to be mentally ill to avoid law suits?

That neither you nor I are qualified to diagnose Trump as insane. You think his actions show him to be so, but given the circumstances they seem to me the actions of a sane if amoral person

It's not opinion that neither of us are qualified to diagnose Trump.

He's saying that Trump is desperate to remain president to avoid going to prison after it's all over and will therefore do anything to stay in power.

That's what you always say when you've been comprehensively out-argued, but don't want to admit it.

I still think Trump has mental health issues as do many other people, but we can only speculate as to what his actual problem is.

You have no expertise to diagnose Trump, and the 'many other people' is simply you using the ad populum fallacy.

Yes, I made that clear. I just didn't use fallacious arguments like the ad populum to try and make my case.

Yes but several qualified people are saying that Trump does have mental health issues.

Not an argument made by LR, so irrelevant to my point. And in terms of that argument, there are lots of qualified people saying he does not

No it isn't. LR simply mentioned that many people think Trump is bonkers. She didn't try to draw any conclusion from that.
