I got reminded of my own words. Ones echoed by Obama years ago. Paraphrased, it’s “Let them speak and reveal their idiocy.”

The infamous monkey video Trump posted demonstrates his lack of character and qualification for the office he holds. 

It also serves the dual advantage of revealing to us those who are hiding in plain sight, the ones who are studiously avoiding the revelation that they are admirers of Trump. 

Each successive debacle cements the certainty that a lot of us weren’t wrong about him. 

It’s outrageous, of course. But take a minute and think about the reaction Obama and his wife must had upon seeing it. Think about Obama’s smile and the way he shakes his head in the face of lesser intellect attempting to insult him. 

Trump’s orchard can’t grow anything except rotten fruit. 

When he’s gone, we will collectively sigh. But over time, we will forget that another person like him can come along. And many of the people around us will willingly abandon principle to cheer another buffoon into office. People like him don’t get power accidentally. They take the worst elements and amplify them. 

Trump’s hateful words and antics fire up reactions. He’s a narcissist who feeds on the limelight and publicity. He is an energy vampire. 

The kind of post he made about the Obamas is a self-accusation that he’s too stupid to understand.
