Everyone has an opinion of President Trump. Everyone wants to express their opinion of President Trump. Often people search for that one specific word that most accurately defines for them the essence of President Trump.
For many, they never find that one word that achieves for them the goal of defining the essence of the man. But it seems to me that one word is insufficient to capture the essence of Donald J. Trump.
After all, it is not as if he is merely a one dimensional, shallow human being completely lacking in substance or character.
To the contrary, President Trump is quite the character. He deserves and most assuredly would demand more than a mere, single word to capture his essence.
Therefore, consistent with the idea that President Trump is a multi-dimensional, complex and indescribable human being wherein merely a single word is insufficient to capture the full, unfettered essence of the man, I presume to present a full and complete expression of who, and what,Donald J. Trump is, alphabetically speaking, of course.
Donald J. Trump is:
Arrogant
Braggadocio
Corrupt
Degenerate
Egomaniac
FASCIST
GREED
Homophobic
Infantile
Jingoistic
Kleptocrat
LIAR
Misogynist
Narcissist
Oligarch
Psychopath
Quack
RACIST
Sociopath
Traitorous
Unhinged
Vituperative
Warmonger
Xenophobic
Yammerer
Zionist
I am confident that this explanation of Donald J. Trump from A to Z is wholly inadequate to capture the true essence of the man. There must be many other words that befit Mr. Trump and could serve as substitutes for the ones I have proffered here for the reader.
I merely seek to give expression in my own humble way with the words I have used to give expression to how Donald J. Trump makes me feel from A to Z.
However a deeper exploration of the words used herein to describe Donald J. Trump may well be instructive so I will endeavor to address each word individually.
ARROGANCE is usually pretty well understood by most people. An arrogant person is not stupid, they do not lack intelligence. In fact, many arrogant people are exceedingly intelligent. The issue is not intelligence, the issue is arrogance. Arrogance causes the person to lose the ability to be objective. They cannot think objectively about any issue. They immediately react aggressively to any suggestion that whatever idea they express or profess belief in might be erroneous. They believe in their own infallibility. They do not comprehend open-minded thinking that enables them to consider even the possibility their concept of reality and/or truth might be incorrect and/or conflict with objective reality.
BRAGGADOCIO is a term assigned to someone who engages in extreme exaggeration. Such a person overstates the importance of ideas and/or facts they express and makes grandiose statements that do not comport with reality. Donald J. Trump is the poster boy for braggadocio.In common vernacular, the phrase “know it all” substitutes for the more sophisticated braggadocio.
CORRUPT is a fairly obvious word, too. It relates to behavior in a person indicative a lack of moral fiber and a complete indulgence in behavior that undermines community standards and society norms of ethical behavior.
A corrupt person seeks opportunities to enrich themselves materially at the expense of others and the community at large by illegal and immoral practices that enrich themselves at the expense of others and that larger community. Such people are generally described as being amoral. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria for such a person. Amoral could substitute for arrogance in this alphabetical explanation of Donald J. Trump.
DEGENERATE expresses a condition wherein a person falls below a normal or desirable level in physical, mental, or moral qualities. The person has deteriorated in moral character to such a level that they seek out amoral and illegal means to achieve their goals. They embrace ideologies that are destructive such as racism and fascism and their behavior degenerates to the point where objectification of women occurs that allows such a person to engage in sexual behavior that violates the civil and human rights of the women assaulted. Sex is sought without the permission or voluntary permission of the other party and sexual behavior is engaged in that violates every moral norm or standard established by law. Donald J. Trump meets this criteria, too. After all, he is a self-professed Sexual Predator.
EGOMANIAC is also somewhat self-explanatory because it involves the ego. Such a person relies solely upon their own ego to assess and perceive the world. They believe in their own infallibility and rely solely upon their own evaluation to assess the world. They do not rely upon any object truth or facts but instead rely solely upon their perception of the world based upon their mental perception of it. Donald J. Trump meets the criteria of an egomaniac.
FASCIST is word denoting a person with an ideology that expresses a complete belief in the absolute domination and control of the masses by the government or the authoritarian leader of the country, state or other entity in charge of the government.
A fascist ruler exalts himself as the absolute ruler. Infallible, and absolute in his/her domination and control of the masses. Such a person rules by direct edict. Such a person issues orders and makes decisions based solely upon their own perception of the world and demands absolute adulation from the people being oppressed under his/her regime. Any expression of dissent or manifestation of opposition by anyone under their domination and control is immediately and usually violently suppressed.
Fascists usually express extreme nationalism, such as America First and seek to rule by executive edict believing that their is no need for input from others and that democracy and democratic institutions and ideals are counter-productive to his rule.
The much vaunted Rule Of Law established by American constitutional democracy is eliminated in favor of the absolute rule of the fascist leader. The law becomes whatever the fascist ruler deems it to be at any given moment based upon the situational and circumstantial ethics/reality of the moment in the mind of the fascist ruler. A hallmark of fascism is the dismantling of all of the institutions established to support and promote the rule of law and protect the civil and legal rights of the people under a constitutional form of government.
Under fascism, the judicial system is subverted from an institution that supports; upholds and defends the Rule of Law as an co-equal branch of government into a system that oppresses the masses by corruption of the Rule of Law.
Currently, the Trump administration is engaged in the dismantling of the federal administration and seeking to undermine the Justice Department and FBI to convert it into his “personal” police force. Donald J. Trump meets the definition of Fascist and his administration is seeking to establish Trump as a fascist ruler.
GREED is something that is very much prevalent in a capitalist society. In fact, the GOP or republican party in America really represents the quintessential expression of GREED [Get Rich Eviscerating Everything Democratic] and in truth stands for Greed Over Principle. And, as the titular head of the GOP, Trump is emblematic of the GREED that fuels the GOP political agenda.
The GOP, as a political party, pretentiously and hypocritical alleges fidelity to democracy but in reality it is a corporate [fascist] party and domination of the society is the fundamental expression of such a political party. Such a political party does not believe in democracy. It aspires to achieve the complete and utter domination of the people by corporate rule under a fascist ruler. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria for a GREEDY person. He has openly expressed his belief that “wealthy people are really smart people” and he prefers them to the “losers” in society that are not wealthy.
HOMOPHOBIC refers to someone who fears people of the same sex who engage in sexual intercourse and are attracted to each other. A homophobic person fears that they are secretly attracted to the same sex. Such individuals are fearful and insecure about their own sexual orientation and identity and believe that if approached by someone of the same sex with sexual overtures they would succumb to their secret temptation and engage in such behavior.
The dilemma for such people is two-fold. First, they lack self-esteem, self-respect and suffer from low self-esteem. They are insecure in every sense of the word including their own sexual orientation/preference. Second, they have been indoctrinated from birth with the biblical admonition against homosexual behavior and genuinely believe that based upon biblical teachings that homosexual behavior is sinful and will cause anyone engaged in such behavior to “burn in everlasting hellfire”. Such people express hatred for homosexuals but in reality it is merely a projection of their own self-hatred onto a person for which they feel contempt and whom they believe are engaging in sinful behavior. Donald J. Trump has demonstrated with his words that he is a homophobe. Although, admittedly, there is no genuine religious aspect to the homophobia expressed by Donald J. Trump. Clearly, Donald J. Trump is an irreligious man who expresses faux religiosity solely for political purposes.
INFANTILE is self-explanatory. An infantile person has failed to mature according to normal developmental processes genetically inherent in every human being. The infantile personality remains childish and child-like even in adulthood. They behave in ways generally understood to be identified with children. Instead of maturing, the infantile person remains emotionally child-like; intellectually limited; and spiritually depraved. Such people engage in childish behavior such as “name-calling”; “demeaning the physical characteristics” of other people and the “objectification of women” whom they fear owing to their immaturity. the normal developmental process has not occurred in such people and they remean immature. Donald J. Trump meets the criteria for an infantile person.
JINGOIST is a word less understood because it is rarely used in modern society. A jingoist is someone who expresses extreme patriotism [keeping in mind the admonition that “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels”]. According to the dictionary, “Jingoism is an extreme form of patriotism that often calls for violence towards foreigners and foreign countries. Patriotism — a love for one's country — can, in certain cases, turn nasty and go beyond wishing for the welfare of one's own homeland.” Donald J. Trump, with his Make America Great Again [MAGA] [which he purloined from the late fascist POTUS Ronald Wilson Reagan] and his America First agenda most definitively meets the criteria of a Jingoist.
KLEPTOCRAT is a word used to describe “a government with corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) that use their power to exploit the people and natural resources of their own territory in order to extend their personal wealth and political power.” In such a government nepotism is rampant. Nepotism is the employment of ones relatives, usually immediate family members by the leader of the government. The goal of the kleptocrat is to exploit ones political position to personally enrich themselves and their family. Donald J. Trump most assuredly meets the criteria of a kleptocrat.
LIAR is a word easily and frequently applied to Donald J. Trump. The word “pathological” is usually applied to liar in people like Donald J. Trump. His lying and lies are well documented. To date, the New York Times has documented in excess of 2000+ lies told by Donald J. Trump in the one year since he became POTUS. Apparently, Trump is incapable of discerning truth from lies and he feels compelled to lie about everything. Pathological liars receive an “emotional high” from their lying and lies. It generates a grandiose feeling of superiority in such people because they are able to manipulate other people into accepting his lies even though such lies are obvious. Donald J. Trump meets ALL of the criteria for a LIAR. There is a clinical definition of lying that is designated as “pathological liar” and Donald J. Trump meets the criteria for being so designated.
MISOGYNIST is a word that means “hatred of women”. This word aptly describes any person who objectifies women and treats them as objects whose sole purpose is the gratification of the sexual desires of the misogynist. For the misogynist, women are not human beings. They are “objects” just like property to be used and discarded at will after they have satisfied the needs sexual or otherwise of the misogynist. Misogyny usually begins in infancy. The male parent of such a person dominates, controls, objectifies and physically, mentally and emotionally abuses the female parent and the child learns from the father figure to “hate” women and to think of them and treat them as inferior beings who can be treated as “property”. Donald J. Trump is openly and expressively a misogynist, He meets all of the criteria of a misogynist.
NARCISSIST is defined as a “ the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's own attributes. The term originated from Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. ... Narcissism is also considered a social or cultural problem”
A narcissist is totally self-involved. There is no perception of the reality of the opinions or beliefs of other people. There is no compassion or empathy in the narcissist. They sole intent of the narcissist is self-aggrandizement and adulation. Such a person not only seeks but demands attention. Not just a modicum of attention, but the absolute adulation and focus of everyone must be on the narcissist. The narcissist seeks to engage in activities that force others to submit to the adulation of him/her.
Every behavior; every word, and every deed is directed towards achieving attention and adulation. Such a person suffers immeasurably from low self-esteem; lack of self-respect, feelings of inferiority and self-hatred. The narcissism is an attempt to overcome such negative feelings by becoming the center of attention and forcing everyone to acknowledge the alleged superiority and “brilliance” of the narcissist. A narcissist seeks such things as elaborate displays of their power such as military parades that highlight their power. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria for being a narcissist
OLIGARCH is a word akin to and synonymous with tyrant and totalitarian. Such a person believes in the domination and control of the government by the wealthy elite with himself/herself as the authoritarian dictator of the government. Ordinarily, such people adulate wealth and wealthy people. They seek to have the government come under the control of the wealthy elite including corporations. Such control, of course, is subject to the “dictates” of he oligarchic ruler and any deviation from the absolute power of the dictator is suppressed by a military under the direct control of the dictator. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria of an oligarch.
PSYCHOPATH is a word generally used in psychiatry to describe an extremely disturbed mental state that results in virtual detachment from any and all objective reality and is manifested in the psychopath with aberrant behavior of a violent and generally immoral quality that exceeds any resemblance to normal or objective reality.
However, not all psychopaths are deranged to such an extent that they are unable to function marginally in normal society. Such people generally suffer from feelings of inferiority and manifest rather demonstrative paranoia with a belief in conspiracy theories that usually involve plots against the psychopath generated against him/her by a variety of nebulous people and entities that remain rather vague and indescribable. For example, such a person, while functional, might believe in a conspiracy by the “Deep State” which is never clearly defined or firmly established as real. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria of a “functional” psychopath.
QUACK is a word generally applied to people who represent themselves as the providers of “elixirs” and other “remedies” that promise to enhance ones health and it is also applied medically to people who practice without being qualified and do not meet the legal and/or professional standards of the profession they occupy. Such people engage in very harmful and deleterious behaviors that harm people under their care/control.
Anyone, in any profession can be deemed a “quack”. There most assuredly are “political quacks” and such a person expresses and engages in political behavior demonstrative of someone completely incompetent and incapable of comprehension of or implementation of generally accepted political standards consistent with their application in a constitutional republic. Such people do not apply the standard of adherence of an oath to “uphold and defend” the Constitution and do not adhere to the Rule of Law in pursuit of their political goals. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria established to meet the definition of “Quack”!
RACIST is a word that is complete apropos to Donald J. Trump. This word is so completely applicable to Trump that the word TRUMP is becoming synonymous with RACIST. A racist is someone who identifies himself/herself with the “genetic” race they assign themselves. In America, racism is most specifically associated with and defined by “White Supremacy”. Those who believe themselves to be racially superior to all of races of people in America overwhelming define and identify themselves as “White”.
Such people suffer from the disease of racism. Racism is a pernicious disease. It completely disrupts the mind/body/spirit continuum and renders the sufferer completely impotent to its vicious and viral effects. Such people, generally speaking, are infected with the virus of racism as infants. The infant becomes infected by a parent or other guardian/mentor upon the infant relies for all of its needs.
Unaware of the virus of racism, the infant trusts the parent who is infecting them with racism and comes to believe in the racism and is wholly indoctrinated into a belief in racism without any conscious awareness of becoming infected with the disease.
If and when the child does ever express or evidence any egalitarian anti-racist behavior, they are rebuked by that parent and the racism is thus reinforced in them repeatedly.
Racists suffer unimaginable harm from feelings of low self-esteem, inadequacy, lack of self-respect, feelings of being inferior and self-hatred. Such people are plagued endlessly with such negative feelings and the only relief they obtain from the debilitating effects of the virus of racism is to project those self-same negative feelings onto another person/group and insist upon their own “racial superiority” in order to abate the pain and suffering inflicted upon them by racism.
In modern America, the suppression of racism by the larger society has led to racists claiming “victimization” by those in society who reject such racism. This enables the racist to further justify their racist ideas based upon their alleged “victimization” by society.
Racists very literally are compelled to express hatred for other people who do not belong to their “race” because it is the only way to temporarily abate the extreme negativity that persistently infects them. Racism is perhaps the most pernicious disease on the planet. It renders its victims incapable of love, compassion and empathy for others. It also manifests in the overt hatred of others with violent words and deeds that render it virtually impossible to overcome their racism.
Donald J. Trump has a lifetime of racist behavior. His championing of the infamous and racist BIRTHER movement is fully expressive of his racism as is his xenophobic hatred of Mexicans and other immigrants who are not “white”. Donald J. Trumps meets the criteria of a RACIST.
SOCIOPATH is a word that means someone who “has little to no conscience. They will lie, cheat, steal and manipulate others for their own benefit. They know exactly what they are doing, they just don't care because they don't think that way.” Sociopaths, like their psychopathic counterparts, feel no empathy or compassion for other human beings and they do not suffer feelings of guilt or remorse for their negative, harmful actions because they have no conscience. Sociopaths are often described as “transactional” people. Everything and everyone is a transaction. They “live” in the moment and rely almost solely upon situational and circumstantial “ethics” to justify their behavior.
In extreme cases, sociopaths literally “enjoy” inflicting psychological, emotional and even physical pain in others. It makes them feel superior. Chaos, which ensues whenever the sociopath engages in group activities is seen by the sociopath as normal because they are able to dominant, manipulate and control others in such situations and they feel “normal”. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria established for being a sociopath.
TRAITOROUS is a word associated with people who betray their patriotic duty to country. When a person engages in behavior that undermines the security of the country in which they live and to which they ostensibly have allegiance to by engaging in behavior that threatens the security of the nation and undermines the laws regulating the government of that nation, they are deemed to be traitorous.
In the particular instance of the United States, which is a constitutional republic founded upon the democratic principle of the rule of law and equality under the law, being traitorous to the United States of America means to engage in behavior that undermines the national security and rule of law established by the US Constitution.
Donald J. Trump stands convincingly accused of “conspiracy” [as opposed to collusion] with a hostile foreign power; Russia, to subvert and corrupt the democratic electoral process in a national election for the Presidency of the USA.
Evidence has emerged of the effort to conspire with Russian operatives, including computer hackers, to subvert the election process in 2016. The POTUS swears an oath to “uphold and defend” the Constitution of the United States of America. Obstructing an investigation into whether or not their was a conspiracy to subvert the 2016 presidential election stands as prima facie evidence of criminal intent and behavior consistent with guilt.
There is credible evidence that Donald J. Trump has engaged in “obstruction of justice” to thwart the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and that he continues to do so in violation of the law and his oath of office.
Evidence is emerging that Trump campaign operatives working in conjunction with GOP election officials in key Electoral College States conspired with Russian Hackers to allow them to gain access to Voter ID Rolls in key electoral college states. To date, the Office of Homeland Security has identified 25 states in which hackers endeavored to hack into such voter rolls and five [5] states in which they actually gained access to the voter ID rolls and potentially altered the votes in those key states. States which allegedly went to Donald J. Trump in the 2016 election.
It is clear, that Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria for being traitorous to America and the American people and that he continues to obstruct justice and manifest behavior consistent with guilt.
UNHINGED is a word that denotes someone who is mentally unstable. It refers to a person who manifests emotional instability with clear signs of clinical mental defect based upon derangement of their mind. Such people exhibit specific psychiatric abnormalities such as being quick to anger, apt to become angry and enraged over even minor slights and/or insults. Such people also exhibit immaturity and the tendency to lash out at others often belittling, demeaning, debasing and degrading others with whom they have disagreement or whom they perceive to be a threat to them.
Such people also exhibit overt paranoia with a tendency to gravitate towards; focus upon and participate in conspiracy theories in which they are the subject of such conspiracies to undermine their authority. Ironically, because of his criminal mindset and alleged criminal behavior, Trump does have legitimate reasons to be “paranoid”. It is Clear, Donald J. Trump demonstrates all of the clinical aspects of an “unhinged” person.
VITUPERATIVE is a word applied to someone who expresses and exhibits extreme hatred towards others in a manner described as “venomous” to the degree it embodies a state of mind and behavior utterly destructive of healthy human interaction. Such people are usually described as “petty-minded”, “mean-spirited” , “hateful” and “degenerate”. Words that uniquely apply to Donald J. Trump and his actions; his words and deeds are expressive of a deeply disturbed, deranged and dangerous man with a mindset fully expressive of being vituperative. Donald J. Trump meets all of the criteria used to establish a vituperative person.
WARMONGER is a word given to people who want to engage in warfare merely for the sake of warfare and/or for economic gain that has nothing to do with genuine reasons for war. Such people engage in language that is inflammatory towards other nations and behavior designed to inflame other nations into provocative actions that can then be used to justify engaging in war against them.
In America, quite often, such people obtain the moniker of “chicken hawk” because they have never participated in war; never experienced the ravages of war; and do not appreciate the destructive and murderous nature of war. Such people glamorize war. They persistently and perversely express a belief in the “necessity” of war and portray those nations which they seek to attack and invade in the most negative and derogatory terms possible.
Donald J. Trump, prior to becoming POTUS, and since has threatened nuclear war against North Korea and insinuated his desire to attack Iran. Ironically, Trump like others before him, have stated that Iran is the “greatest terrorist nation” in the world while ignoring the role of the USA in multiple terrorist acts against other nations.
Furthermore, Trump openly stated that as a teenager he attended a “military school” in New York State and because of his time at that school he believes “I have already served in the military”. He further states his “love” for the military and even expressed surprise that America has nuclear weapons and “does not use them.”
Clearly, Trump is a warmonger. He meets all of the criteria for being a warmonger and can accurately be described as the quintessential “chicken hawk”, too.
XENOPHOBE is a word used to describe a person who fears strangers. Anyone who is not from the same country and/or culture of such a person expresses extreme hatred for “foreigners”and seeks to avoid dealing with them and/or participating directly with them in any activity.
In the case of Donald J. Trump, being a racist, he expresses his fear and hatred of foreigners from countries where people of color live. He does not want any “foreigners” from “sh*thole countries” such as Africa, South America, etc. from entering the USA as immigrants. Xenophobia combined with Racism is a potent evil. It combines the worst character traits in such a person and heightens their determination to undermine respect for and appreciation of those cultures and the people who migrate from them. His anti-Mexican sentiments and his Islamaphobia are further examples of his xenophobia. Although, the political aspects of those positions should not be ignored, particlarly in relationship to his racism. Donald Trump meets all of the criteria for being a xenophobe.
Yammerer is a word defined as a very verbose, talkative person who tends to exaggerate their own qualities while speaking. Clearly, Trump loves to talk, particularly about himself. His tweets which should more accurately be called “twits” because Donald J. Trump is a “twit” who loves to “twit” about himself on Twitter.
I think anyone who has experienced Trump knows that he is an inveterate “yammerer”.
ZIONIST refers to someone who is of Jewish origin and believes wholly in Israel as the global homeland for Jewish people. Initially, calling Trump a “Zionist” might seem inaccurate because he is the quintessential white supremacist/racist and that seldom bodes well for any religious entity other than “WHITE CHRISTIANS”.
However, in this instance, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is Jewish and his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism upon marrying Jared. Thus we have a seeming contradiction in terms. A racist who is also a Zionist.
I think Trump’s support for Israel is dependent more upon a desire to sow dissent in the Middle East than any real commitment to the State of Israel. Clearly, up until Trump, the USA sought to at least nominally portray itself as an impartial peace broker between Palestine and Israel. All of that changed under Trump. The decision to move the capital of Israel to the disputed Jerusalem was a deliberate and calculated move to undermine any and all peace efforts in the Middle East.
Those who manipulate and control Trump are dedicated war-mongers: “chicken hawks” who seek to extend warfare in the Middle East. Peace would interfere with their fascist agenda and therefore that is the genesis of Trump’s support for Israel. Publicly, at least, Trump meets all of the criteria for being a Zionist. I do agree that perhaps ZONKERS might be more apropos to Trump but his mental/emotional/spiritual derangement has already been addressed.
Thus we have Donald J. Trump from A to Z. It is by no means a complete analysis of Trump and other words may be more apropos to defining him. I merely offer this analysis in an effort to expand upon those character traits that establish who and what Donald J. Trump is as a public figure.
