Sometimes I feel sorry for Donnie.. the more the nasty people pick on him the more he can't help but defend himself in ways that further fuel the fire that's eating him up for all to see!

Here's a question, if you read this from one of your Twitter friends - what would you think?

"Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart."

There's nothing wrong with recognising our strengths and even letting others know we feel confident about them, however - there's a problem.. This post comes from an active President of the United States (Corporation) which is a line of people which included some very capable orators and authors - capable of demonstrating grace and poise in perilous situations (and also sometimes extreme evil and terrible decision making). I don't want to be a 'language nazi' but if you are posturing publicly about how smart you are, it's probably best to do it in a way that demonstrates your claim, rather than one which contradicts it.

Using the word 'like' in a way that it is usually used verbally to effectively fill a gap in the airtime as you think about your next word choice - is a less than graceful habit/trend that many of us get caught up in from time to time; but who actually writes that word when tweeting? Does it not suggest that the tweet has had absolutely no refinement to it or even a quick sanity check?

Sanity checks are performed when important information processes are coming to an end and are about to 'go live' or be actioned - they are a final fresh look at everything to make sure nothing obvious is awry.

In this case, the fact that Trump's tweet is so unedited might be thought of as a good thing since it suggests a lack of third party editors distorting his words.. But on the other hand, it reveals an absence of the refinement and intellect that he is projecting himself to have. The image I get here is of a man with so much money and 'power' that those in his immediate vicinity just go along with him most of the time, leaving him able to make ever more grandiose claims without being challenged. This is not an inspiring image and is more akin to a dictator than a man 'of the people and for the people'.

What next? Will he be claiming to have invented silicon chips or to hold the world record for Pole Vaulting? Doesn't he realise just how much he is mirroring the penis rocket obsessed North Korean fellow he likes to mock?

"I qualify as not smart, but genius....and a stable genius at that."

Trump's Biographers

---

Both of Trump's biographers came out publicly and attempted to expose his real mind and ways of being before he was elected as they both concluded he was not fit for the role. The author of 'Art of the Deal' actually spoke at the Oxford University in England and admitted that he had massively lied to the world when he described Donald Trump back then, painting him to be a genius businessman, when in fact he was nothing of the sort.

It's understandable that Trump would want to defend himself in the face of heavy trolling from numerous directions, but I feel it's not enough to just tweet about how great you are - 'talk is cheap' as has been said so many times... It's action that makes the difference.
