Trmp has always threatened to have people arrested, indicted, jailed, even executed, when he doesn't have the ability/authority to have that done. So Kirschner compared him to a paper tiger.

1. Fortune cookie wisdom.

Great wind comes from an empty cave.

He is full of bluster, and gets his goons to beat up the weakest and most vulnerable: immigrants, women, and children, ESPECIALLY children.

A sociopath of the highest (lowest) order.
