One of the two toxic traits, so of course I had to decide what the other was before reading on.
A former lawyer who served in the White House during Donald Trump’s administration, said the ex-president is a “deeply wounded narcissist”, claiming that’s one of the two toxic traits that dictate his actions and decision making.
Well of course the other one is obvious, it’s just that there are a lot of ways to name it. Complete lack of conscience is one way; complete lack of any kind of regard or concern for other people is another. Brutality is another; piggy selfish bullying mean rude aggression is another. It’s why I’ll never understand his popularity. I can grasp admiring someone who can be cruel on occasion, but when it’s someone who is relentlessly shamelessly brazenly horrible at all times, I just can’t get my head around it.
Anyway yes that was it. One he’s a narcissist, two he’s a shit.
Ty Cobb, who stepped down in 2018 because of Trump’s disapproval of his “conciliatory” approach, also said Trump is “incapable of acting other than in his perceived self-interest or for revenge”.
Or a third motivation: sheer pleasure in bullying and injuring people. He loves doing it. He feeds on it, like a hummingbird sucking down the nectar.
During the CBS interview, Cobb also said the current justice department investigation about Trump allegedly stealing highly classified documents from the White House is aimed to cover a wider ground including his involvement in January 6 riots and schemes to undermine the 2020 elections.
Oh good. Go for it, justice people.
“I think the Department of Justice intends to prosecute him no matter what,” he said.
The search warrant is “very, very comprehensive in terms of the types of documents that the government could take”, Cobb added.
Good. Git him.

Ty Cobb? Obviously not that one, but the original was also a jerk.
Jen Houston’s ‘Crime after Crime’ is still the one to beat in the AntiTrump Song Contest IMHO.

When it comes to Trump, there are more than two toxic traits. Failure to mentally mature into adulthood creates all sorts of problems. Money can’t fix that.
I don’t know about the hummingbird simile.
Perhaps like a “pig eating shit”?
@Omar – While I like that in the parody song category, I think that the best overall is the original, non-karaoke anti-Trump song “Carnage Bargain” by the Paranoyds. It was my favorite song of 2019, overall:

I recommend checking out their full album at Bandcamp. Here are the lyrics:
Barbwire on the fence
Doesn’t make any sense
Why would I wanna keep
Cool shit away from me?
This grass isn’t green
It’s muddy with gasoline
There’s filth in the swimming pool
They threw away all the tools
Superiority
That shit’s not for me
They wanna get a carnage bargain
I wanna pick up garbage
Garbage
Ever since he’s been crowned
All I see are orange clowns
Keeping up a clean appearance
Smiling, evil laugh, fear it
How much more can I give?
Sleepless nights, feeling sick
God can feel the sun on me
I’m guilt-ridden, lucky
I’m trying to be nice
It’s live from your device
They wanna get a carnage bargain
I wanna pick up garbage
“I can grasp admiring someone who can be cruel on occasion, but when it’s someone who is relentlessly shamelessly brazenly horrible at all times, I just can’t get my head around it.”
I can. Some people love anything that will make them look slightly better.
Your depressing thought for the day.
