Conservative political commentator Tim Miller said Saturday President Donald Trump is behaving like a 12-year-old by insulting his opponents and posting content attacking former President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

During his podcast on The Bulwark, titled "We're being governed by 12-year-olds," Miller said, "The president is 12, and everyone in the White House that works for him pretty much also is acting like they’re 12."

Miller’s comments come amid growing controversy over the official White House web pages and social-media channels being used for overtly political attacks.

Miller accused the White House of publishing juvenile mockery of Obama, Clinton and others, and of using copyrighted music and TikTok-style edits to glorify aggressive law-enforcement tactics.

The backlash deepened this month after Trump shared a widely condemned AI-generated video on his Truth Social platform in which he is depicted flying a fighter jet and dumping brown liquid purportedly over protesters at a nationwide “No Kings” demonstration.

Singer Kenny Loggins demanded removal of the video for unauthorized use of his song “Danger Zone,” calling the stunt “created with the sole purpose of dividing us.”

Miller added: “I like a sense of humor. There’s nothing wrong with joshing around… But that’s not what we’re getting. We’re getting 12-year-olds.”

The White House has defended the use of social-media posts as part of its outreach strategy, while critics say the behavior undermines the dignity of the office and fuels partisan division.

With attacks on predecessors and digital provocations now part of the public record, critics say the administration’s tone raises serious questions about political norms and presidential conduct going forward.
