Trumps worse Trait

Trump's worse attribute, believe it or not, is not his ignorance, though that is a huge issue of course, but actually his tendency to deceive others and his affinity to self-deceive-- inner lying to himself. Like a child when they ignore reality and indulge in fantastic wishful thinking.

This is not a psychological analysis but one that deals with one of human nature's worst moral attributes---self-deception and the ability to deceive others.

Trump is a master at not only self-deception, which the horrible response to this pandemic indicates, but the ability to like a master conman deceive others who are as psychologically weak as he is.

Anyone who still believes in this despicable human being, Donald Trump, is either a victim of Trump's innate conman deceiver or themselves morally bankrupt or psychologically crippled because Trump is a moral barometer of who has some sense--those who see his evil for what it is-- and those who have no sense—moral, perceptive or psychological--as his supporters on any level manifest.


I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this tendency to self-deceive would likely one-day spell disaster for many and hoped we could get through this evil man’s time as president without being bitten by this inner lying and self-deceiving nature of this kind of twisted human being he is.

Unfortunately, came COVID 19 and all of Trump's deceptive qualities are active and have caused untold damage.

All we can do is fight this massive ignorance and his clueless followers who as the scriptures say:

Give power to the beast!

Go Niners.

I will take a shot at it.

His second worst trait is reproducing. His offspring have all his worst traits and more. Do Baron and Tiffany count is he does not count them?

His malice and greed are bad, although downright sneakiness could actually be good in a country's leader, if it's put to the right uses.

And a lot of his harm to the country is coming from his emotional neediness, which leaves him enthralled and possibly controlled by foreign elements that depends on America being weak and ineffective.

So, sure, his ignorance is definitely a problem. But the damage it does has to be compounded by an even worse trait: his absolute confidence in his stupidity being right.
