Imagine if people in everyday life behaved like Trump behaves:
You go to check out at the grocery store and your cashier rambles and says hateful things to and about the other shoppers, and keeps like 1/5 of your groceries.
You try telling the doctor what’s going on with your stomach and she goes on a long rant about how brilliant she is at stomach medicine and how all her professors raved about how she knew more about stomachs than they did, but then she tells you to eat nothing but sand for the next 4 years.
You try and ask the person at the power company why your bill is 3x more than normal, and the customer service clerk just does a smug little shuffling dance while pretending you’re not there.
@adhdeanasl that's not a useful analogy.
Imagine you go to checkout at the grocery store and they start trying to diagnose your medical problems.
Trump is running for president, he's running for a political office, he's not running for a checkout or to be a doctor. So why in the world would you compare him to them?
It's a completely different role.
In our democratic process the people are selecting assholes to represent them and run the bureaucracy of government. If the people want a jerk, well, that's how the system works.
That is so different from any of the other examples that you brought up.
(Pardon my French in the following, but I really want to emphasize this)
Trump is running to be the top asshole, the head bureaucrat at the head of a branch of government. He's running to represent the US population, which by the way, contains an awful lot of assholes.
So why wouldn't we expect him to act like a jerk, to represent a bunch of jerks?
