There's no point in sugarcoating it: He’s a disgusting human being, the American president is, and he knows it, and he knows you know it, and he knows the world knows it, but his base eats it up every single time and therefore Trump is more than happy to, say, creepily beckon a blonde RTE reporter to his desk while on the phone to the prime minister of Ireland (and while on camera), so he can gawk and her and tell her what a “nice smile” she has, and then turn around and take savage delight in bashing MSNBC's “crazy” Mika Brzezinski about her bleeding face, followed soon after by tweeting out a truly imbecilic GIF – swiped straight from one of Reddit’s most racist, Islamophobic trolls – of himself “body slamming” CNN, and, in so doing, endorsing evermore more violence and dumb-guy thuggery.

Who cares? Certainly not him. The President of the United States will have himself Photoshopped onto a fake Time magazine cover and hang it on his country club wall. He will slur anyone he does not like – which is, of course, everyone – calling them “psycho” and “crazy” and “hater,” “stupid” and “loser” and “sad” and "dumb as a rock," he will fat-shame, taunt and race-bait and then have any critic blocked from his Twitter feed like a panicky child, as if daring you to believe he’s not, in truth, a 10-year-old bully with a sweaty social media addiction, but actually a shockingly thin-skinned 71-year-old compulsive liar, full of rancid misanthropy and bland venom.
