As an author, I believe I have to be an amateur observer of human behavior (I use some scientific method although I’m not a mental health expert). That “f&^%ing moron,” who wants to finish the job he started of destroying the country, provides an interesting case study that I can use to help define my villains! (Rex Tillerson, the SecState whom Donald Jackass Trump basically fired and is no mental health expert either, is the author of that short but apt diagnosis for the Donald, by the way…not me. Many tried to work for DJT during his first administration and have lived to regret it. And on January 6, 2021, some of them died…although he denies it!)
Although this dufus and wannabe fuehrer is almost illiterate (more so as he closes in on senility at eighty), he occasionally tries to read a teleprompter, for example. You can tell he’s not interested in what he’s reading, though, and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the content: He drones on and on. An AI could do much better (and use his normal snarling and sniveling presentation style as well). Although they don’t have any real intelligence either, they’d appear to have more than that “f&^%ing moron.”
Yes, at the teleprompter, Donald Jackass Trump sounds like a mindless zombie on drugs. One, he thinks policy is a waste of time (his two policies are “do what I say!” and “make me rich”); two, his handlers have told him to stick to the message, but he prefers insults and rants, a lifetime habit. And, unlike Rodney Dangerfield, Narcissus le Grand’s utterances are more pathetically stupid than funny. He’s managed to lose any sense of humor he might have once had. He’s no longer funny because now he’s just an old fascist horse destined for the glue factory.
His insults are over the top, even though he might be stupid enough to think they’re clever. (Delusion is part of mental illness as well.) The latest was saying that Harris doesn’t cut a good figure, that he’s actually prettier. C’mon! That three-layer fold-over of thinning, bleached blond hair barely covers his balding head now. And he rarely turns around to face the entire crowd of MAGA maniacs attending a rally because he doesn’t want to show that fat ass that keeps getting fatter. (A result of his cheating at golf? Why not? He cheats and lies everywhere else, why not on his own damn golf course?) And what is a comparison of bodies doing at his political campaign rally anyway? Il Duce was long ago banned from those beauty contests in Atlantic City. (For perverse behavior? Maybe that’s why he resorted to fooling around with that Playboy bunny and porn star? Or molested that writer in a department store? All court convictions now against him!)
Although Donald Jackass Trump is no comedian, you can’t help laughing at how absurd he is sometimes. He’s like MAD’s Alfred E. Neumann without the smile. (He never smiles anymore. It’s at best a snarky leer.) And, even though he claims to be a genius, he is indeed a “f&^%ing moron”: He’s provided ample evidence of that on so many occasions. The one that led to Tillerson’s observation occurred during a meeting at the Pentagon where the Donald declared he was more intelligent than all the generals present there. (While there might be a wee bit of truth in that—I’ve observed myself that military minds usually aren’t all that creative—at least no general at that meeting invented bone spurs to avoid military service!) His false continuation in a prediction of a hurricane’s path with a Sharpie and the suggestion that injecting disinfectant would cure Covid come to mind as well, but there are many other instances (many of them a lot more serious). At least he’s never said, “What? Me worry?” But don’t be disappointed. It’s coming. Just wait. He can’t help himself.
I’ll summarize by repeating myself a bit: I can see at least one positive as I observe the wannabe fuehrer-in-chief of the Fascist Party of America (once known as the GOP – that always meant “Good Ole Piranhas,” by the way). We’ll have the opportunity to observe the complete meltdown of a psychotic sociopath who even now needs to be in a straitjacket locked away in a padded cell! Of course, the same goes for any voter out there foolish enough to want this jackass to have another four years to ruin our democracy. No sane person should want another Trump term. A vote for him is as insane as he is. Yes, he’s a psychotic sociopath. (That’s the diagnosis made long ago by an esteemed panel of mental health professionals. My observations confirm their diagnosis.)
