These are not a bunch of teenage punk kids at a street basketball court shouting meaningless insults each other, this is the big leagues. But human nature is still human nature and just as trash talk can erupt in a flash in violence on a ghetto street corner, so it can lead to misunderstanding and war.
Obama is a profoundly dangerous man to have his finger only inches away from the nuclear button and this trash talk character flaw is the least of our problems. We can start with his utter lack of discernible policy which prompts adversaries to miscalculate and leads to a nuclear exchange. We can continue with an indiscernible policy known only to Obama the ultimate purpose of which is to undermine America. The more he succeeds the more our adversaries perceive our weakness and the closer we come to war. The more he succeeds, the more Americans perceive what he is doing and the more he must trash talk or bluster about red lines to compensate. The dangerous cycle spirals on.
