Trump’s flaws are obvious as a bleeding carbuncle on the end of the king’s nose.
Iran’s Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, recently said Trump is the true face of America. Sad to say, the Ayatollah is correct in that assessment. Because we elected a deeply flawed person (we knew who he was when we elected him), we now reflect the image of a braggart and con man, an immature poseur with a limited vocabulary and an unlimited capacity for vengeance against all those whom he perceives to resist his magnificence. That is what the rest of the world sees: an enfant terrible, a petulant child, a new-money misogynist, an empty suit full of greed—in short, an indisputable shit-heel.
Look at the company that he keeps, privileged dismantlers of all the progressive construction that this country had accomplished over the last few decades.
Pussy-grabber, pettifogger, arrested development goon, low-skilled literacy dumbbell, and insecure over his manhood, even his wife knows him to be inadequate. We all know, Donald, who you are. We know.
In the June 2016 issue of The Atlantic, Dan McAdams, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, deconstructs what he knows of Trump’s personality, concluding that he is disagreeable, grandiose, and narcissistic. (McAdams)[i] Professor McAdams gets under Trump’s skin and shows us just what a soulless person we have as president.
Accordingly, McAdams offers an introspective look into America’s leading con artist:
Trump’s tendencies toward social ambition and aggressiveness were evident very early in his life... (By his own account, he once punched his second-grade music teacher, giving him a black eye.) According to Barbara Res, who in the early 1980s served as vice president in charge of construction of Trump Tower in Manhattan, the emotional core around which Donald Trump’s personality constellates is anger: “As far as the anger is concerned, that’s real for sure. He’s not faking it,” she told The Daily Beast in February. “The fact that he gets mad, that’s his personality.” Indeed, anger may be the operative emotion behind Trump’s high extroversion as well as his low agreeableness. Anger can fuel malice, but it can also motivate social dominance, stoking a desire to win the adoration of others. Combined with a considerable gift for humor (which may also be aggressive), anger lies at the heart of Trump’s charisma. And anger permeates his political rhetoric. (McAdams)[ii]
Okay, so we have an angry shit-heel as president, a dramatically defective personality who rose to the electorate’s attention via reality television, a b-list celebrity with shine and brassy mannerisms. Get ready for more: Oprah may run next cycle, as well as some rap artist (I have purposely forgotten his name), and a rich guy who owns an NBA basketball team. Add a dash of Kardashians to the presidential race and we have an America that no longer deserves respect from anyone.
Seriously, the American dynasty is broken, as it deserves. We have been wasting our precious blessings for too long. America was indeed a grand experiment that proved worthy and inspiring for two centuries, but we got spoiled, lazy, and fatuous. Though we are relatively a young nation, we have not matured beyond our indulged teenage years of development. And what lies ahead—we all remember those growing years—are painful lessons that come in the process of becoming adult.
