Trump’s trifecta

Through a lifetime of observation, I have determined that the majority of Caucasian males are defined by three distinct characteristics: arrogance, avarice and violence. They now have elected the epitome of these traits to the presidency.

Arrogance: Maybe it’s a way to cope with their deep-seated feelings of inferiority. What represents this arrogance/inferiority dichotomy more than a man who brags about “copping a feel” but still needs to display his name in huge gold letters on everything he builds?

Avarice: Plainly the president-elect has displayed his insatiable greed while amassing his ill-gotten wealth.

Violence: Did he not goad his supporters to commit violence against protesters at his rallies? Imagine what this insecure man might do to avenge any perceived slight or threat now that he has the world’s largest military arsenal at his fingertips.

Those who voted for this insufferable buffoon deserve the president. But I don’t, nor does the rest of the world.
