There is a national crisis brewing, but it is at The White House and not at the US border. Do the terrible twos really have to be as terrible as everyone says? It all depends on how Republicans decide to spin it. Who is now 72 years old and has been in office for two years?
As with most clichés, there’s something true at the heart of the saying that two-year-olds are a handful. But what about spoiled 72-year-old handfuls?

Many parents will tell you that they have either struggled or at the very least worried about this infamous age when some toddlers embrace rage.
It labeled the magical age of discontent. Here are a few generalizations about the terrible twos, which may also apply to 72.
They are stubborn, they have opinions without a shred of self-consciousness and they couldn’t care less if you’re in public when they decide it’s worth shrieking bloody hell to defend their principles.
They do not always talk coherently and their reasoning sometimes calls for a code breaker. You can argue with them or even disagree with a coherent opinion. But they often sometimes don't make any sense, and it’s difficult to calm someone down when you have no clear notion of what’s upsetting them.
When they are tired, they’re often cranky, but don’t have the ability to rise above it the way mature people do. Sometimes their mental or physical gas tanks hit empty and when they're running on fumes is not a pretty sight.
A snit that lasts hours and makes everyone nuts is not a problem for them because It’s not as if they've got other plans for that or any other day.

If you thought stranger anxiety was reserved for others, then think again. Stranger anxiety often resurfaces in toddlers and even non-strangers can be the primary targets. It can also apply to senior aides and longtime allies. just ask our allies, his Cabinet, The House, The Senate, and his former staff members as the alarming numbers continue to increase. Also, ask the generals.
Anyone who refers to the free press as the enemy of the people, then demands airtime from the broadcast networks to address Americans is affirming this terrible two theory outlined above.
Finally, there’s no emergency at our borders justifying a wall or a crippling government shutdown. The crisis Is the failure to adopt an effective immigration policy with border security.
