I pooped my pants
today; it didn’t make me happy, but I did have to laugh. Being happy and laughing are not necessarily
the same thing, they don’t have to be.
I’ve noticed that
many of us have complained about what are obviously glaring faults with Trump’s
worldview, his gestalt of the human condition, and what he says and does. Many people have tried to constructively
criticize his words and behavior. Maybe
we’ve been “complaining, noting, commenting” on the wrong faults of his psyche. Maybe we have found ourselves stuck on the
symptoms rather than the causes.
I’ve decided to take a radical new
tact: I believe that all, ALL of Trump's
problems are a result of a 100% total lack of a sense of humor. A sense of humor
requires a commonality of emotions: love,
joy, sorrow, anger, and shame. Trump
only has the one emotion; “I am a very stable genius.” Has anyone ever heard him say a single self-deprecatory
thing? Has he ever made fun of
himself? If you can only laugh at others
and have never laughed at yourself, it’s not humor; it’s bullying. It’s all put-down. It is playground humor at the expense of
others. You know, just like emotionally
six-year-old behavior by the not nice kid, the one who has never had to take
personal responsibility for anything.
So Trump’s problem is
a lack of a sense of humor. He doesn’t
laugh at others the right way and he doesn’t laugh at himself ever, and he
doesn’t drink. Are these things related? Well, most of us who do drink have at least
one incident of getting drunk and doing something really stupid (something that
if we have a sense of humor and are honest with ourselves, makes us connect
with all the other humans on earth).
DUH; we all fuck up some times. Some
of us recall how smart we thought we were being all the while that we were
being super stupid.
Has anybody ever
heard Trump admit to a mistake? No. So we have a man that thinks that he is
perfect. He thinks he’s smarter than
every person on earth, that he’s never made an error. I think it’s because he has no self
awareness, no connection with all of the rest of the humans on earth, all of
whom recognize their faults that are so often exposed by the acceptance of fallibility that is the essence of humor.
That’s funny! I remember I did that once! I thought it was smart at
the time. Have we all done THAT at some time? Not Trump; his ego requires the “greatest most stable genius" (president, human, American), his self image is necessary to play his bullying game.
Trump can’t laugh at himself
because he only laughs at others because
he thinks he’s the smartest human that ever lived and everybody, you and me,
his wife, his advisors, what he reads in books and sees on TV, everything in the
newspapers, are all written by people inferior to him.
Everybody is inferior to him; that is the
world where he lives.
So if you can’t admit
that you ever did anything wrong, that you never pooped your pants, that you
found yourself laughing at yourself; you really aren’t a human being.
You are the: “Only one who can fix it.”
