I have noticed an unfortunate resemblance between Trump and myself..

It’s most pronounced when I am in situations I don’t want to be in. I stop thinking and blindly try to exit or leave. I have seen my cats behave like that when panicked.

Where it reminds me of Trump is this - go this way, now that, brute force trial and error style, panic.

Trump must fly by the seat of his pants all the time. Doesn’t a POTUS (much like say a PI, doctor, scientist etc) need to know a lot?
Law is really the ideal background for that.

It feels like an asshole libertarian’s shitty joke about how a state doesn’t need a head at all.

The original Idiocracy was supposed to have a super annoying OS as head of state instead of President Camacho.

I sometimes bleakly joke to myself that we are in this pariah branch world in the multiverse where sports, entertainment, gaming, celeb culture etc choked out the use of science and modern medicine for planetary homeostasis, instead requiring endless war for better tv because at the end of the day they aren’t very good at science.
