Bullies
People become bullies often in a vain attempt to short-circuit success. — Anon. Afterthought: Many of you, dear readers, will claim that Trump is a bully. But, in truth, he seems much more a noodge.
Wikipedia says that a nudge a concept in behavioral science, political theory and behavioral economics which proposes positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions as ways to influence the behavior and decision making of groups or individuals. DJT is not a nudge. He is a bully.
He is afraid to reveal his taxes(actual wealth) Refuses to issue a comprehensive health report, and keeps his discussions with Putin top secret. Rather than asking "WHY?" His acolytes bury their heads in the sand, ignoring the fact that such a lying cheat will never bring honor and prosperity to the country that he has never sacrificed anything for.

ReplyDeleteOK, occasionally a bully ... but, most often, a nudge (according to your definition.)
ReplyDeleteActually I spelt it incorrectly. It is the Yiddish word noodge — A person who persistently pesters, annoys, or complains
ReplyDeleteI see his behavior as 'Delusions of Grandeur'.
