I'm gonna say your assessment is a smidgen off, finn. I'm going with around 6 years old.

Trump is pure "preoperational".

The key features of Piaget's preoperational stage include:

Centration
This is the tendency to focus on only one aspect of a situation at one time. When a child can focus on more than one aspect of a situation at the same time they have the ability to decenter. (Ike - Trump has little ability to decenter)

During this stage children have difficulties thinking about more than one aspect of any situation at the same time; and they have trouble decentering in social situation just as they do in non-social contexts.

Egocentrism
Childrens' thoughts and communications are typically egocentric (i.e. about themselves). Egocentrism refers to the child's inability to see a situation from another person's point of view.

The egocentric child assumes that other people should see, hear, and feel exactly the same as the child does. (Ike - nuff said)

Symbolic Representation
This is the ability to make one thing - a word or an object - stand for something other than itself. Language is perhaps the most obvious form of symbolism that young children display.

Piaget argues that language does not facilitate cognitive development, but merely reflects what the child already knows and contributes little to new knowledge. (Ike - what cognitive development? What new knowledge?)

Artifici@lism (WTF we still have this shit with the ci@lis???)
This is the belief that certain aspects of the environment are manufactured by people (e.g. clouds in the sky). (Ike - Trump has reverse artifici@lism e.g. climate change is not manufactured by people)

Irreversibility
This is the inability the reverse the direction of a sequence of events to their starting point. (Ike - the reason why Trump reacts to things the way he does is that on his preoperational emotional level, he that believes that negative things that happen to him cannot be reversed. Thus the 3AM tantrum tweets.)

OK 6 and a half.

Finn - you're such a shill. Where were you when the junk food junkie Obama was dining on his favorite burgers and fries?

Here is more on Trump being a man child and McMaster should know.

Sources: McMaster Mocked Trump’s Intelligence At A Private Dinner
Quote:
The top national security official dismissed the president variously as an “idiot” and a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,” the sources said.
Quote:
A sixth source who was not familiar with the details of the dinner told BuzzFeed News that McMaster had made similarly derogatory comments about Trump’s intelligence to him in private, including that the president lacked the necessary brainpower to understand the matters before the National Security Council.
So first Kelley, now McMaster. Now the the GOP Senator calling the WH Adult Day Care Center makes sense. A man-child who is dangerous to the country.

As for me being a shill, I've only ever been a registered Republican (for 15 years) and an Independent. I've never been a Democrat, nor did I vote for Hillary. I think profound disgust with Trump is the sign of good character and high moral fiber, whereas defending his juvenile, harmful behavior is the sign of a damaged soul.

Your Dear Leader is a spoiled 13 year-old twit in an overweight 70 year-old's body. I throw a lot of criticism his way because I enjoy watching you debase yourself by reflexively defending every ridiculous thing he does.
Hamburgers are real food. Coke is another story.

Pretty sure the first bold is contradicted by the second.

Aha! The correlation goes both ways! Strong evidence, thank-you.
