Why would Donald Trump say such things?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

Concerning the problem with Us:
This site became an anthropology site roughly three years back.

At that time, we entered into regular consultation with Future Anthropologists Huddled in Caves, a despondent group of credentialed scholars who report to us from the years which lie beyond the cataclysmic global event they refer to as Mister Trump's War.

Under the tutelage of these experts, we've tried to explain the reasons for our badly failed national discourse.

Tomorrow, we'll visit the Nordic behaviors once described by Ahman ibn Fadlan. (For Slate's recent description, click here.) We'll flavor our discussion with cross-reference to old Inka customs. Also, we'll let Professor Gates talk about Muslim-on-Muslim enslavement as practiced by African rulers.

For today, we offer two points of elucidation:

Why in the world would he say such things?: Almost surely, Donald J. Trump is some form of a "sociopath."

As far as we know, that isn't his fault. But almost surely, it is what he is.

Presumably, he's saying the things, and giving voice to the experiences (or lack of same), which stem from that state of affairs. We'll suggest you ask Dr. Bandy X. Lee, who the "press corps" decided to silence.

Presumably, Donald J. Trump is badly impaired. The larger question would be this:

Why is our utterly hapless upper-end press corps still so freaking surprised?

A few years back, the press corps entered a tacit agreement. Under this agreement, they've refused to discuss the obvious possibility that Trump is psychiatrically impaired in some major way.

They've all agreed that the situation mustn't be directly discussed. Instead, they are constantly feigning surprise at the things he says and does.

It's Groundhog Day in Casablanca. They're shocked, shocked every time out!

More on the pleasures of looting: Earlier this week, we marveled at the astounding rumination on the rewards of looting published by National Public Radio.

Over at The Atlantic, Graeme Wood has actually read the book in question—the apparently ludicrous In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action. Drawing on his international reporting experience, Woods tears the apparently ludicrous book to shreds, offering such perspectives as this:
WOOD (9/2/20): I am also from recent-immigrant stock. [Author Vicki] Osterweil euphemizes looting as “proletarian shopping,” and no one from a place that has recently experienced this phenomenon can take seriously her assurance that it can happen justly and bloodlessly. When I think of riots and smashed storefronts, I think of Kristallnacht. I think of American businesses built by penniless immigrants who preferred to forfeit their vacations and weekends for 30 years rather than see their children suffer as they did; I think of these businesses ransacked in 30 minutes and left in ruins. Osterweil at least has the psychology right when she says that looting can be “joyous and liberatory.” I have never seen a sullen looter, but I have seen plenty of shop owners crying next to the smoking remains of their children’s future.
We recommend Wood's essay. Mainly, though, the question remains:

What does it mean when NPR commissions such a ludicrous interview piece by a kid two years out of college? What editor read that youngster's essay and thought it should be published?

Our nation is crashing to the ground beneath our remarkable lack of mental and moral ability. Our press corps can't see who Donald Trump is, or at least isn't willing to say what it knows or presumes.

Meanwhile, our allegedly brightest mainstream press organs keep publishing claptrap dreamed by kids just out of their swaddling clothes.

It's hard to get a whole lot dumber, or more faux, than our "press corps" routinely is. For the record, we're discussing the way we behave Over Here. We aren't discussing the ways of The Others, though they've crashed and burned too.

Why would Donald Trump say such things? To us, the most likely answer seems to be blindingly obvious.

The larger, much more relevant question concerns the behavior of the people within our failing elites. Simply put, we just don't seem to have what it takes. This has been true for years.

    1. Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him. That was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made a promise that anybody I know that has a relationship problem, I would be of help to such a person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. His email: {drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com} you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.

  2. "Almost surely, Donald J. Trump is some form of a "sociopath.""

    Does it mean, translated from Zombie, that he's not a member of your liberal cult, dear Bob? Of course it does.

    In that case, we don't quite understand the meaning of your "almost", dear Bob.

    Are you still entertaining the possibility that Our Beloved Commander will suddenly accept you cult's dogmas of 67 genders and enormous benefits of looting? Is this what Future Anthropologists living in the cave inside your head tell you?

    7. He could have 10,000 terms and it would never get done. He's a poseur. He only promises things. He doesn't get them done. That's why his businesses career was a failure and his show business career a success. You got suckered.

  3. Well said, Bob. Anyone who doesn't think that Trump is impaired are themselves impaired.

  4. Being a sociopath isn't sufficient reason for the press to talk about his mental status. Plenty of sociopaths exist in government and business and do fine, without attracting public or press notice. For that reason, the press must focus on what Trump does, not what he is.

  5. Why shouldn't there be many different perspectives on looting and what is the harm in reading different opinions, on looting or anything else? People do engage in looting -- shouldn't someone examine why, what it means as a phenomenon. It is one thing to disagree, but Somerby sounds like he wants to exclude Oesterweil from the conversation entirely.

  9. "The larger, much more relevant question concerns the behavior of the people within our failing elites. Simply put, we just don't seem to have what it takes. This has been true for years."

    There have been riots among the poor for millennia, not years. Has Somerby never seen video of the food lines in every city? Does he not understand that our service economy is under siege from covid and people are not working? Does he think looting and rioting are rational acts? What is wrong with him?

    Trump is a dysfunctional president and these riots are the people's expression of their despair with the results of his lack of ability to run the country. Riots are happening in various countries now, worldwide. Not because some professor expressed some opinions. Because things are so fucked up.

    Now there will be no trial and no examination of what happened. It is a dark day when the government engages in summary execution of anti-fascists opposing fascist violence. Should the police be permitted to just shoot anyone and say that he or she resisted? Is this how we do things in America?

  13. TDH: "What does it mean when NPR commissions such a ludicrous (pro-looting) interview piece by a kid two years out of college?"

    NPR is funded by giant corporations. If looting becomes widespread, who would best survive it? Small mom & pop stores or giant corporate big-box stores and giant online business? The answer is obvious. Looting is good for big corporations because it helps eliminates their competition. The stock market has soared all through the first three months of rioting. Wall St loves rioting! Yes, Bob, your country truly is that fucked up.

    1. Why does Somerby focus on the hapless interviewer and not the professor whose ideas are being expressed?

      Somerby behaves like a bully, picking on the weakest and ignoring the actual arguments being advanced. It is unfair to condemn something without even addressing its content. Marx was good enough for Bernie, but Somerby ignores the argument to do some Marxist name-calling, as if that is a good enough substitute for thinking. Whatta guy our Somerby is.

  14. My sister, a staunch Republican came forth with the complaint that the mainstream press failed to report that U hauls were used in the looting of Neumann Marcus in Chicago. The same company that had gone billions of dollars in debt after private equity bought it, pillaged its assets, tried unsuccessfully to bring it public, and finally whose upper management took millions of dollars in bonuses while simultaneously jockeying for bankruptcy in March. Looting at Neumann Marcus? You could say that.

  21. My husband and I have been married for over 10 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 21. We’ve been through a lot emotionally together. There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me, I was totally depressed until I found Dr.Todd website online and I ordered for a Love spell. You won’t believe my husband called me at the exact time this spell caster finished his spell work in 48hrs. I was totally amazed! He is wonderful and his spells work so fast.
