For those of us that have raised children and grandchildren:
Since when does a five-year old who really, really, REALLY wants that toy give up?
IMHO The Emperor’s behaviors over the last five years more closely resembles a five-year old than an adult. This means he will not take his bat and ball home quietly when he isn’t selected for the team.
He will never give up and if someone takes it from him, he will have a raging, screaming, out-of-control tantrum.
