I suppose I’m just another guy shooting from the hip, spouting opinions based largely on perceptions and feelings, less on conversation or debate. Yet if what I hear in interviews with Trump sympathizers or conversations between Fox News junkies is any indication, I feel like there’s really no need to parse things much further or seek out more information. I’m not gonna change any minds.
All I know is that Donald Trump has never been and is never going to be a person I consider capable and competent to serve in public office, and it is extremely difficult for me to understand how others could feel the opposite of that and can’t see through him.
To me, it looks like smart, and some not-so-smart people being duped, committing to a person who apparently is saying the right things, but who also seems a bit dead inside, incapable of empathy, averse to normal human emotions other than anger and vindictiveness.
He may very well feel picked on, but he apparently can’t see that the treatment he gets—especially lately—is the result of his own actions and words. He’s made a good living claiming either ignorance or victimhood. These things are hard-wired in him.
He’s a spoiled, deceitful paper bully, though. Soon to be a totally cornered rat. Which means hold onto your hats, because it’s gonna get even uglier than it’s already been since he wandered down that escalator, trying to carry himself like a damned king.
Donald Trump has an ego the size of Jupiter, and people still insist on feeding it. To me, it is crystal clear that he is not worthy of anyone’s allegiance or adoration. I’ve never understood the buzz he’s generated, beyond this sick fascination we have with celebrity.
The trouble is, he’s been around long enough to poison the water the Republican party is drinking. In some ways, Trump is just the poster child for a metastasizing cancer.
