from The Washington Post....Trump's idea of tough is when somebody else gets hurtBy TOM TOLES | Tuesday, January 12, 2016ANOTHER BLANK SPOT of the map of Donald Trump has been filled in. The “strong” vs “weak” thing has been clarifying now for some time. This dichotomy is pretty clearly near the heart of his psyche. Don't expect suble here. Strong = good. Weak = bad.
But now we have a little more granular detail that is quite revealing. Donald likes other people to sustain the physical damage part of his “strong” monomania. For example, he likes his football players to be tough and take those concussions for the important goal of his entertainment pleasure. It is quite simply no FUN for him to watch athletes engaged in sporting events if they walk off the field with undamaged brains and the likelihood of a full, unimpaired adult life.
And I'm sure we can look forward to the same kind of attitude about strength in his foreign policy. What good is a foreign policy if American soldiers aren't taking some good solid hits? Donald would be willing to do the same himself. Sure he would. When he was of draft age during the Vietnam War, he was willing to suffer from heel spurs to avoid being drafted. You can be sure he suffered them strongly.
We await further details on this map of Mr. Trump. I expect that if someone discovers he has a porn collection, it will consist of the movie Patton.• Tom Toles is the editorial cartoonist for The Washington Post and writes the Tom Toles blog.
