It is with great amazement I watch what once was a great political party that balanced the scales of democracy fall into total willful ruin all driven by ego, narcissism and the endless need to control.

I believe that many will admit that Donald Trump won the GOP primaries by sheer outrage using the media as his standard bearer with little due diligence, hard questions or other. The GOP added to this with a school bus full of candidates who had motivations of greatness that never lived up to the bill.

Once Trump ascended to be the GOP Nominee, he then turned on the media and other GOP members with unbridled abandonment.

Donald Trump is a man divided, with both the fundamental values, moral and beliefs of the American public; and the founding principals of any political party or business in the USA.

A bully is defined as a someone who through aggression, whether it is physical and verbal, intentionally inflicts harm toward another. The consequences of poor social skills can have long-term implications:

  • May be physically and verbally aggressive with peers
  • Does not understand visual signals such as facial expressions or gestures
  • Thinks that everyone feels as he or she does
  • Talks too much about himself or herself
  • Exhibits low frustration and emotional outbursts when in conflict with others
  • Does not have a friendship that is reciprocated
  • Laughs inappropriately
  • Has a sense of entitlement
  • Not likely to blame themselves for the conflicts they create

In my personal experience and opinion, several of the ultra-rich who inherited wealth, not earned wealth display bully behaviors. Trump and others are no exception. These individuals fail to recall that character, ethics and morals matters and resorting to name calling and similar degrade themselves, no matter how they may attempt to twist and disstort facts.

Trump illustrates the behavior of many of the ultra rich who have inherited wealth and not earned their wealth.

They approach business and in this instance a political campaign with the mindset that that are better than the majority of the population, by virtue of their bank account balance.

Ethics, morality, trust and faith in each other is thrown to the wind. The goal of the greater good and common goals are tossed aside for self and ego gratification regardless of the cost to anyone other than themselves.

These individuals display morally bankrupt behavior on a consistent basis.

Individuals like Trump and others that act in similar fashion are not team players, suffer from poor upbringing, lack honor and morals, in addition to empathy and compassion for their fellow human beings.

They have one goal that is to show their world that they can be successful with anything, since they do not have the skills set, management abilities or other to build anything on their own. Rather than work for their goal, they will steal it by any means.

While individuals such as Donald Trump and similar are morally repugnant, their sole purpose is self-serving and ego gratification. They will not stop until then they have destroyed both the company and attempt to destroy those who represent what they do not have the skill set, knowledge or experience to manage or successfully build.

They falsely believe that their wealth will carry the day and their actions are not accountable due to the ability to use their wealth for abuse.

They make use of the outrageous in the hopes to swing sympathizers with warped rhetoric to justify their actions that many find despicable by any measure. Along the way, their actions are well documentation, which in their warped sense of being they discount, although the American public does not and will not.

As the great John Kennedy stated in his inaugural address:

“United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do — for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.”

Working together anything is possible as John Kennedy succinctly stated on Friday, January 20, 1961. When driven by ego, narcissism and the need for control verses a partnership you will splinter and split asunder as history has documented time and time again.

The American public is not stupid and does remember, history will not treat Trump and those like him well.
