fuck trump but this is a wildly ridiculous and insensitive analogy

I mostly agree with you. I don't know if you read the article, but the metaphor is that his powerlessness is being exposed on the world stage, so he inflicts his rage on those closest to him. The metaphor of domestic violence is off putting, but in the sense of striking out at those closest to you I suppose it's apt. I get what Marshall is trying to say even if it's awkwardly stated.
