Villains

The pResident is a villain straight out of central casting.

Hey Maisy, send me up someone who can play HATE big – a merciless, vengeance-mad, greedheaded fraudster. type. He should be convinced of his own, imagined, infallible brilliance but, at the same time, be so thin skinned that the slightest whiff of disagreement will send him ‘round the rage bend.

Ya know, a Lex Luthor or Goldfinger type only not too bright – more ego than brains. Also, he should be kind of a slob – fat, badly fitting suits, obvious wig. Hey, is Gert Fröbe around? What about Gene Hackman? Put him in a fat suit. Tell him to dumb down his usual performance – he’d be perfect!

Narcissistic personality disorder — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. (source)

In a comment at No More Mister Nice Blog, heywood_j of Hammer of the Blogs trenchantly pointed out:

"There are three (probably more, but these are most relevant) immutable truths about Trump:
1. He really is dumber than a bag of rocks. He doesn’t have the skill to “strategize” or create some sort of clever ploy, or conceal his motives.
2. He has no sense of humor, at least not one that ordinary humans would recognize. His idea of a “joke” is to talk shit, but even then he’s being 100% honest. Even when he lamely tries to walk something back (like “the chosen one”), it’s only because he sort of recognizes that he may have crossed some sort of line of acceptability.
3. He thinks rules are for everyone else. This is his most dangerous trait, and always has been. If he had not been born to wealth, he almost certainly would have been some sort of garden-variety monster, a wife-beater at best, a serial killer at worst. But something. He really believes that rules and laws shouldn’t apply to him, because he’s so goddamned special."

Yup.

Why doesn’t Moscow Mitch inspire visions of Hollywood super-villains? After all, he’s arguably done more to destroy Democracy than his boss, Preznint Feral Pig Poop. Possibly because the turtle, mostly, stays outta the headlines. That is, unlike the LOOK AT ME- LOOK AT ME WH buffoon, MM prefers to carry out his thieving, pillaging and Democracy demolition under cover of darkness.

I've GOT to end today on a brighter, cleaner note today.

The title of the post made me groan and instantly begin passing it by. My thought – It’s another story about some heartless, asswipian trumpscum. And then I stopped. MAYBE it’s not!

It isn’t.

We should all be like this. Every day.
