How much you want to bet that “rageaholic” is going to be Googled in days to come, like “deplorables” was when Hillary first uttered the term? I just did and came up with this checklist of rageaholic behavior — in children.
Signs of an angry outburst in children are:3
- Tantrums [daily on social media]
- Tirades [ditto]
- Significant arguments [and nothing but]
- Shouting [in lieu of conversation]
- Fighting [anything and anyone]
- Threatening or attacking people or animals [especially attacking political opponents with animal nicknames, like Old Crow and CoCo Chow]
- Damaging their own or other’s property [i.e. ketchup bottles, coffee pots, TV sets] following anger cues like increased heart rate or closed fists
I added the dicta in brackets, and you have to admit that this description fits a certain former president, attempting to stay in the public eye, perfectly.
Oh, and that’s one topic he wants to address, by the by.
Ummm….Donald? Excuse the hell out of us, but everybody told you that announcing early was a terrible idea. You insisted because A) You wanted to do a victory lap after the midterms and we all know how that worked out and B) You thought the feds would get off your tail once you announced. That wasn’t grounded in reality, either.
In all events, Trumpty has a lot he wants to get off his chest and he chose this fine Monday, Boxing Day, day after Xmas, to do it.
For one thing, he’s very miffed that you would even think that he would ask Ivanka or Jared to do anything for him. Where do you get these ideas?
Big Orange Daddy has compassion, doncha know, and he didn’t want the kiddies exposed to the rough elements of a political campaign. For their part, you know damn good and well that the idea of getting back out there and trying to whitewash Daddy’s doings was utterly futile and besides, Jared got the $2 billion from the Saudis already.
Now this tirade goes on and I have no intention of reproducing all of it here. But these are the main highlights, along with a lot of videotapes and reposting of right-wing articles saying how Trump is clobbering DeSantis and all other contenders in the polls.
Trump particularly has it in for McConnell & Wife.
Now, class, go back up and read all of the bullet points that define a rageaholic. Trump hits them all. Over and over and over again. I wonder if his doctor tells him that a man his age, and in his physical condition, needs to calm down and not be raging all the time? Or, maybe Trump just phones up Ronny Jackson, after the “doctor” is three sheets to the wind, and Ronny tells him how he’s going to live to be 200 — AND be president again — and he believes it?
That’s my guess.
He’s perfect Ursula didn’t you know? This life on this mudball of molten iron in a universe that is basically a moving unknown that defies knowledge and certainty is a mystery. Another great mystery is how the fuck a man who grew up in jersey with all his money etc., at his age, knows NOTHING about ANYTHING. Wow. I’m glad I trained with LSD, animita muscaria and psilocybin mushrooms, coleus leaves, and assorted other ‘mind altering’ substances including pure lsd from Sandoz labs in Switzerland. Still, I found no answer to trump’s ignorance. His criminality and greed is easy to explain. It’s called the seven deadly sins for a reason.
He claims he’s very busy doing Events, but it’s come out that he plays golf at Doral, goes back to Mar-al-Ego, and rants. And that’s *all* he does.
Don’t forget pussy grabbing and catsup tossing. Hiding from Natasha and all the bitching she must be engaged in takes some time. Bending over to try and tie his golf shoes…another hour. Surfing the hits from the 80s when he partied at studio 54…another hour. Trying to locate another box of secrets to sell…hours. Primping in front of a mirror…two hours. Practicing his bizarre dance moves and hand gestures…more time. God. He’s actually a busy man. And, of course four hours of cheating at golf. How could I forget?
running for president didn’t keep lyndan larouche from prison. just saying.
There’s another diagnosis used with kids, oppositional defiant disorder. ‘Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is listed in the DSM-5 under Disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders and defined as “a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness”. This behavior is usually targeted toward peers, parents, teachers, and other authority figures.’ I think the words oppositional and defiant go a long way to describe tRump. ODD is also linked to ADHD, which I’ve wondered many times if he suffers from that, given the wandering, aimless nature of his speeches, jumping from one thing to another, his inability to focus on complex topics or to think things through. How unfortunate for all concerned that his parents never cared enough to get this guy some help when he was a child. The world has had to suffer because of their indifference.
