Listen to Trump whining. Donald Trump is a whiny little child. He has a broken childâs way of dealing with unpleasant emotions: when he cannot act on his resentment immediately, he suppresses it, though anyone can see it. One tic he has indicating this is his phrase âThatâs okayâ. He anticipates people will see his repulsiveness, gets upset, and whines âThatâs okayâ in order to quiet himself. He will have his revenge later. From Bob Woodwardâs book Rage:
For Trump, âOkayâ draws a line under things. Would he apologise for attempting to bribe the president of Ukraine with US government money?
âOh, I donât know, but I think over a periodâI would apologize. Hereâs the thing: Iâm never wrong. Okay. No, if Iâm wrongâif Iâm wrongâI believe in apologizing. This was a totally appropriate conversation. It was perfect. And again, if I did something wrong, I would apologize. Okay?â
Okay. Move on. So he moves on, himself:
âNow, I am a big fan of the hydroxychloroquine. It may not work, by the way, and it may work. If it does work, I will get no credit for it, and if it doesnât work, theyâll blame the hell out of me. Okay? But thatâs okay.â
Some studies appear to show that drug is useful in covid, some do not. But as it is a generic drug, Trump makes very little profit from it.
âTheyâll blame me,â he whines. He is angry and upset, but quickly holds his resentment in. Thatâs okay. Move on.
Trump resents Woodward, and makes this plain even as he tries to hide it. âIâll take my chances. It would be an honor to get a good book from you, but that probably wonât happen, but thatâs okay, too. Thanks, Bob.â
He told her that I was doing a book on him. âItâll probably be atrocious, but thatâs okay.â
âAll I ask for is fairness,â Trump said. âAnd, you know, Iâm sure I wonât get it, but thatâs okay. Iâm used to that. But I do ask for fairness because nobodyâs done what Iâve done. Nobody.â
There’s the grandiosity, which he resents anyone piercing. At some level, he thinks he has achieved nothing, or he would not lie so much.
âI have opposition like nobody has. And thatâs okay. Iâve had that all my life. Iâve always had it. And this has beenâmy whole life has been like this. In the meantime, right now, Iâm looking at the White House. Okay? Iâm staring right at the walls of the White House.â It seemed to be his way of reminding me that he was the president.
âYou donât understand me. But thatâs okay. Youâll understand me after the election. But you donât understand me now. I donât think you get it. And thatâs okay.â
Trumpâs rage could have free rein at his rallies, and he loved it.
Trump:
Just take a look, take third world countries. Their elections are more honest than what weâve been going through in this country. Itâs a disgrace. Itâs a disgrace. Even when you look at last night, theyâre all running around like chickens with their heads cut off with boxes. Nobody knows what the hell is going on. Thereâs never been anything like this. We will not let them silence your voices. Weâre not going to let it happen. Not going to let it happen.
Crowd:
Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump!
Donald Trump:
Thank youâŠ.
After the election, anyone who was in touch with reality understood how dangerous Trump is.
