Jesuschrist! WHAT IN THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH THIS POS? He's 73 years old. The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES gets in a public pissing contest shouting across a room because of some perceived slight. No decorum, no class. It's HIS property. Because it is HIS property, be the bigger man (save your fucking keystrokes).

Pretty nervy of you!’: Trump’s Palm Beach billionaire spat

Whether in the privacy of his clubs or out on the campaign trail, the president can’t help but hold onto a grudge.

There were certainly other things for President Donald Trump to care about in early December. He was about to depart for the NATO summit in London. Impeachment hearings were dominating Washington.

But at his private club in West Palm Beach, Trump was smarting over a local political feud. After finishing a round of golf the weekend after Thanksgiving, a small group approached the president as he stepped off the 18th green: two of his biggest donors, and a Florida neighbor.


The president shook everyone’s hands, but then coldly turned to his neighbor, a fellow billionaire who lives down the block from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.


“Pretty nervy of you to come to this club,” Trump snapped.

His ire was aimed at Jeff Greene, a real estate tycoon from Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago member who ran for Florida governor in the Democratic primary last year. Greene said he wasn’t surprised by the reception. A year earlier, he and the president had gotten into a shouting match at the golf club that he videotaped and then featured in political ads across the state.

After the chilly exchange, which Greene described to POLITICO, everyone parted ways and went to the club’s dining room for a bite. But the president didn’t let it go. Sitting at a separate table in the dining room overlooking the golf course, Trump twice yelled across the room at Greene according to his retelling.

“You spent millions of dollars and came in fifth!” Trump taunted, according to Greene.
.
“I came in fourth!’” Greene said he called back.

In Palm Beach, word spread that there was a new chapter in the spat between Trump and Greene. And while it might seem like a petty squabble between two rich Floridians, the exchange highlights a broader truism about Trump — he doesn’t let things go.

Whether in the privacy of his clubs or out on the campaign trail, the president can’t help but hold onto a grudge. Even as Trump heads into an election year with a record that he claims ranks him among the best presidents of all time, political grievances continue to drive everything from policy decisions to rally speeches to some of the biggest scandals of his presidency — including his impeachment.


The Ukraine quagmire arose from a quest to dig up dirt on a Trump political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden and his family. While explaining his reasoning for striking Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani, Trump invoked former president Barack Obama, his favorite punching bag until Hillary Clinton entered the picture. During remarks about a China trade agreement, the president randomly mocked former FBI Director James Comey, saying he had “choked like a dog.”

The White House declined to comment.

To those who know Trump, the refusal to drop any grudge is tied to Trump’s desire to quash his enemies — both perceived and real.

“More than Biden, the president is in this pickle because of his belief that Ukraine meddled against him,” said Sam Nunberg, a former Trump campaign aide. “His primordial instinct to exact revenge can sometimes — as in this case — completely backfire.”

Some of the biggest controversies of Trump’s presidency have swirled around the president’s inability to let go of apparent slights: his antagonism toward the late Sen. John McCain, his spat with the Gold Star Khan family, his attacks on San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz in the wake of natural disasters. Even his profane remarks about the NFL when players kneeled during the national anthem could be linked to a failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills.

For some who have known and studied Trump for years, the president’s penchant for turning personal grudges into larger public and political controversies is nothing new.

“When people get in his way, he has no patience for it and it becomes a personal vendetta even when it shouldn’t and when it’s against his own self-interest,” said Tim O’Brien, a Trump biographer...

Said it before, Trump is the world's oldest teenager. His safe and wealthy surroundings allowed him to have a stunted maturity which shows bigly to this day.
