Devoid of human kindness and happiness.

I’ll have several posts up this week commenting on the election and its implications. Celebrating this weekend was awesome – I can’t tell you how much of a weight has been lifted by knowing that the Orange Monster lost the election.

(Despite his protestations, this is not 2000, and Trump has clearly lost.) Almost 158 million people voted, and Biden won the majority of the popular vote by over 4 million. Like Trump, he won the Electoral College by 306 votes. Given how polarized the country is, for Biden to win almost 51% of the popular vote, with a margin of more than 4 million votes and climbing, it is a feat.

However, it is remarkable how inconsistent the response of the GOP and the Trump Humpers has been. I mean, after all, if they believe someone like Nancy Mace won by only 6000 votes – it seems odd they won’t accept Biden winning a state by over 40,000.

Trump, of course, is behaving like the spoiled child he has been his entire miserable life. There is a personal and a business reason or his refusal to accept the facts. First, the business reason:

He desperately needs the money he will raise for his “campaign.”

This is especially true when you consider the New York Times stories about Trump’s taxes and shady finances.

But the second reason is just this is who Trump is.

Donald J. Trump lacks any shred of decency or humanity. In an epic Twitter thread yesterday, John Cole explained why:

Originally tweeted by John Cole (@Johngcole) on November 8, 2020.

He doesn’t like to read, he doesn’t like music, he doesn’t care about art or poetry, or fine dining. He doesn’t laugh. He doesn’t laugh at himself. He is joyless. He doesn’t understand beauty in nature, in people, in architecture.

The only way he measured things is by how he perceived it made other people envy or look up to him.

I’ll hold up a bible because other people like it and I want them to like me.

I will hang around all these bottle blondes with fake boobs because that’s what people like.

Look at this magnificent room covered in marble and glitter I have it so I must be great people will adore me.

He is just a deeply troubled, empty, vulgar shell of a man. I have no idea what his old man did to him, but he did a number on him.

If Trump were not such a scumbag who had hurt so many people and continues to do so, it would b pitiable.

I mean, can you honestly imagine him ever just wanting to go to a friend’s house to sit on the couch and chat, and play with their dog, and have coffee, and talk about things?

Or remembering something little his wife had wanted and mentioned, and picking it up while seeing it on his travels, and spiriting it away in his luggage and taking it home and hiding it and wrapping it and just being excited to give it to her?

just the little human things that make life worth living. He feels and appreciates none of it. It’s all a crude dick measuring contest, and the only way to get ahead is to cut other’s down.

It’s why he is such a bad negotiator. He’s incapable of understanding win/win.

— John Cole (@Johngcole) November 8, 2020

Someone can only get ahead when someone else loses. It’s why he and the GOP never figured out that the way to save the economy was to handle covid. They couldn’t fathom that one didn’t have to be at the expense of the other.

Donald Trump is truly a lost soul.

A lost soul has had a tragedy, so devastating, they find it impossible to give their heart to anyone. This sorrow has betrayed their devotion to trust and they have withdrawn. A lost soul may act certain of themselves, and their world, but you will find they ramble with their words, and in turn, are heading nowhere. Lost souls can be dangerous to themselves and others, and can cause harmful memories of not careful. A lost soul may create many distractions and will make many excuses.

It is who he is.
