The Realisation is that Trump has tapped into child like playful teasing abundant delusional self confidence and it is very appealing and makes him stand out from the stifled meek quivering serious conforming hand wringing incel men.
To be able to tap into the life one once led as a 6-year-old, the joy, the wonder, the lack of responsibility, would be great, even for a day.
We as a society do a poor job of crushing the curiosity and childlike wonder of that age. Be seen, not heard. Stop asking questions. It breeds adults who still have that curiosity buried deep down, but without the experience needed to develop the critical thinking skills to navigate an increasingly complex world full of misinformation and propaganda.
They're easily misled and exploited, especially by a grifter as skilled as Trump and the machine around him.
But much like your post, it reads like something straight out of the North Korean handbook of forced admiration for dear leader.
Who spends time with their children or grandchildren and thinks about Trump, sees them and goes, "Yep, that's why Trump's great, I should go tell the world"?
Be proud of your grandson, sure, but the rest is, as some like to say, pure TDS.

Actually, here begineth the lesson,
What's cute in a 6-year-old is corrosive in a president.
A child living in total abundance, oblivious to the struggles of others, is harmless because adults shield them from reality. Let the child discover who they are without outside pressures shaping them.
A president living that way is a menace because they're supposed to confront reality head-on.
In a kid, delusional self-belief builds confidence. In a leader, it becomes an inability to accept facts, listen to experts, or follow the law. We've seen that recently with Trump's meddling in the BLS and manufacturing the numbers he liked instead,
A child refusing to take anything seriously is playfulness. A president doing the same in the face of a crisis is a dereliction of duty.
Running on attention, defying rules, and thinking you're the king of the household might get laughs in primary school, but in the Oval Office it breeds corruption, division, and governance by spectacle instead of substance.
We're seeing that too.
The difference is scale, a six-year-old's bad call costs juice on the carpet, a president's bad call can tank economies or start wars.
That's why treating these traits as admirable in a leader is childish in itself. You're praising immaturity because you like the performance, and ignoring that the job is meant for an adult.
But when you're duty-bound to defend and praise the man, as if you were in North Korea, I suppose you'll bastardise anything to do it, even the time you're meant to be spending with your grandson.
Are you even present with him when he's in your care, or are you daydreaming about Trump..?
