I dislike everything he stands for and I’d happily campaign against him. But instead of just condemning his policies or his words; I find myself condemning him. And enjoying it.
He makes me feel shocked. But I like being shocked. I want to see more. I want to reinforce how much better I am than he is. How much more educated. Smarter. Kinder. Better.
I’m better than he is, I think. I would never speak his words; or do what he does.
And yet.
- He’s a product of celebrity culture.
- He never lets his ignorance stop him wading into an issue.
- He treats women like they’re objects. (An eating disorder does exactly the same thing).
- He wants to build a wall to keep people out.
- He’s always quoting the polls. (I wonder how many Facebook likes this post will get?)
- He has been proud of things he should have been ashamed of.
- When he gets caught he then becomes “ashamed” (but it didn’t bother him before).
- He puts people down to lift himself up.
- He thinks he should be the most important person in the world.
- He has bad hair.
And I would add to his list… I mean my list: He’s a liar and a total narcissist!! … I mean I am…
Okay, so Trump and Hilary are in a boat together and it begins to sink. Who gets saved?
Answer: America
Great post, Emma. As an (ahem) American, it is really really really difficult to think of Donald Trump as a human being. But when you come up with a list like the one you did, it starts putting things into perspective a bit more. Though, I, like you, still can’t stomach his policies, words, etc. #10… Ha! Same here. :)
