Figuring out Trump
 
I've been trying to understand why a person who is supposedly successful and super-rich, would:

1. Go on tweet rampages in the middle of the night, raging against those who have upset him.

2. Refuse to be the only political candidate in modern history to refuse to show his tax returns and prove that he doesn’t have any potential conflicts of interest.

3. Continually try to shame women on their looks and/or bodies, while he himself is a portly blob.

4. Basically tell our intelligence agencies that they don’t know what they’re talking about in regards to cyber threats and that a country that we have been in conflict with for over 50 years, is led by a guy who Trump has a bromance with.

5. Embellish and lie on almost everything about himself, in an attempt to make him look smarter and more successful than he really is.

6. Constantly resort to bullying anyone who doesn’t buy or believe, in his thin façade.

7. Builds grandiose monuments to himself, in the hope that glitter will supercede substance.

8. Make intelligent people cringe when he speaks at a 6th grade level and repeats the last two hyperbolic adjectives in most of his speeches…over and over.

After contemplating these personality defects, it has come to me that I think Trump knows deep down…he is basically white-trash.

He realized long ago, that all the money in the world...can't buy you class or grace.

His entire life has been spent trying to build wealth and fame, by lying or buying the influence he needs for the sole purpose of trying to hide the fact that he’s just smart enough to know…that he’s actually an intellectual lightweight and will always be so.

That he convinced enough people otherwise to get elected POTUS, does show that he has street-level cunning however and knows how to pander to those same undercurrents of racism, xenophobia, misogyny and bigotry…that all too many Americans have shown to have just beneath the surface.

I have strong doubts that he will actually fill his entire four year term, as I believe he will either be impeached and removed from office or resign once it’s found that he’s been using the highest office on this planet...to further enrich himself and his family.

Just exactly like other third world dictators/despots have done…but on a much more massive scale.

In so many ways, he’s simply another Richard Nixon…without Nixon’s intelligence.

Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ

Of which he has neither...which is even more confusing.

I will give him that he does have a street drug dealers 'canniness' ...which certainly plays into it.

And yet, against what most felt were insurmountable odds, HE WON!! So, you can all cry me a river.

I didn't like Obama's ideology from the time he started campaigning to the present, and I still don't. But he won. I lived with it, so if you know what is healthy you will too.

Trump knew his market. They were at his rallies. But he is at sea right now and we're floating right along with him. He is like that crazy uncle you can never take you eyes off of or you'll be sorry.

One things for sure. The next 4 years are gonna give the late night shows the best comedic fodder since we found out about J Edgar Hoovers clothes closet.

jimbo2012 11-18-2016 03:15 PM

At this point what difference does it make

HE WON BIGLY

We were away on a 10 day cruise.
Left election day.
Great planning; heard the results. And did not have to listen to any weeping and crying and moaning and groaning.....until just now.

He won. Suck it up.

Your problem will be significantly more tolerable than wehn we had to digest the election of an unknown, black man, with ZERO experience at anything but smoke and mirrors and BS!

BTK, you were doing pretty well until you got into the adjectives.

No disparaging of anykind or type intended.
Merely stating facts as viewed by many of us.

I imagine there will be a lot of laughs at a skit or two with millions of liberals crying and hugging puppies. SNL will make it a hit and there will be a lot of laughs. Although, I don't watch SNL so I might miss it.

No surprise that you don't watch it.

Intelligent, sophisticated and subtle satire...goes right over the heads of a lot of Trump's base.
