The Asshole Challenge
Go ahead and try to prove Trump isn’t an asshole. We can randomly pick any day of Trump’s “presidency” for a demonstration of just how massive an asshole he is, such as when Twitler tried to summon his pathetic knowledge of history to insult a leader who actually does know history. In truth, Trump dedicated his whole Paris trip (9–11 Nov 2018) to performing at maximum asshole capacity. Curious, though, that he didn’t mention how ole Adolf was trying to Make Germany Great Again some 75 years ago with a brand of white nationalism not completely dissimilar to his own.
Earthlings know an asshole when they see one
People know an asshole when they hear one speak, but the exact criteria for assigning the adjective to an individual remains nebulous. If you look at the Merriam-Webster and Oxford Dictionaries, you’ll arrive at similar ends:
- A stupid, annoying, or detestable person.
- A stupid, irritating, or contemptible person.
These vague definitions found in respectable dictionaries don’t paint enough of a picture for our purposes, despite their applicability to BLOTUS. Diving deeper, we’ll consult the Urban Dictionary—the lowest common denominator approach to our lexicon that nonetheless can be useful on occasion due to a handful of intelligent contributors (amongst all the adolescent boys who believe themselves clever). The better offerings on that site include these:
- An asshole is a person who doesn’t treat people with respect. There is nothing good about such a person.
- An inconsiderate, arrogant, uncaring, selfish, borderline sadistic, apathetic, mean, spiteful, dishonorable, bastard of a man who could tempt the Pope into a fight.
- An asshole likes to make stuff up, deny seemingly small details, or randomly change their stories and narratives, because he or she thinks that the other person: just doesn’t get it; is not allowed to understand or define the behavior of the asshole because the asshole is a victim; or because the other person can’t prove what it is the asshole is doing.
Yet the most damning evidence that “asshole” is a word almost tailor-made for BLOTUS is this definition from The Philosophers’ Magazine:
The asshole is the guy who systematically allows himself special advantages in cooperative life out of an entrenched sense of entitlement that immunises him against the complaints of other people.
No matter which of the above definitions you prefer, a Trumpuppet would need to go to extreme lengths to find examples of how Benito Cheeto could be argued as not meeting the criteria. You would think one book would be enough on the topic, but more than one book exists. No one seems able to prove that Trump isn’t an asshole…
Laugh all you want at this woman’s hat, but it doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump is a supremacist-certified Asshole.
