From RawStory: Trump aides alarmed he's 'just golfing all day and stewing' as election slips away


This is a summary of the Washington Post (subscription) article which gave me an excuse to use AI showing Trump playing with a little putter to make these images and remind everyone of Barack Obama's reference to Trump's obsessions with crowd size and how he demonstrated this with his hands. Does anybody not know what he was thinking about?


Here's the article in RawStory:

This is the quote from The Washington Post:

But aides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.


Trump ought to be concerned that he has aides or others more or less in his inner circle talking to the media, but this blog isn't about that. Like many of my blogs it is about the psychodynamics of Donald Trump. It is about what makes Trump tick.

Trump is all about self-gratification. Apparently he's decided to listen to those urging him to put down his putter and get off the greens and do more rallies. But as far as talking about issues he still demonstrates his pressing need to gratify himself by making personal attacks against Kamala. This makes him feel good. He might as well be engaging in autoerotic behavior.

It simply doesn't make Trump feel good to talk about policy. This is a chore for him. Unless he is fanning flames of bigotry and paranoia about things like the horrors of immigrant criminals taking over the country, which cause his crowds to cheer thus massaging his ego, I have little doubt he gets the most visceral thrill out of making personal insults against Kamala Harris.

ADDENDUM:

My psychoanalyst friend just emailed me asking if the plural of putter was putzers.
Freud wrote about hidden symbolism is dreams and slips of the tongue famously said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." In fact this has become a meme.

I doubt he played golf but even if he didn't he might have also said sometimes a little putter is just a small golf club.

Being green with envy is dangerous for Donald Trump, by Hal Brown, MSW

 


Generated by PhotoAI

I got the idea for this after I read Maureen Dowd's New York Times column (subscription): Daffy Donald, Turning Pea Green With Envy.

She doesn't even use the word "envy" in her column and the photo used to illustrate it suggests smug arrogance and it doesn't convey the envy which hopefully my AI created image does:


After describing some of Trump's unhinged reactions to Kamala's DNC speech and her candidacy writing "If you need more evidence that Trump is flummoxed about how to counter Kamala Harris, just check out his daffy reaction to her dynamite convention." She concludes her column as follows:

She can take heart that she’s driving Trump crazy. He is jealous of her looks, her crowd sizes, her star power and her vivacious, bodacious vibes. That’s a good start.

She is basically saying that Trump has turned green with envy and it is driving him crazy.

Whether of not Trump got the mockery of his penis size when Barack Obama used his fingers to describe his obsession with crowd size is unknown. The media and Internet certainly did. Consider: Obama mocked the size of Trump’s you-know-what. Here’s how unexpected joke inched its way in and Barack Obama's Joke About Trump's 'Crowd Sizes' Takes Internet by Storm.

The unconsciously insecure Donald Trump can't bring himself to so much as fleetingly flirt with the notion that he is being upstaged and outdone by a woman. After all, much of Trump's identity is wrapped up in believing he is a hunka hunka burning love when it comes to women.


He thinks his manly manliness is so potent women will beg him to grab them by the ... well, you know.

Trump is what Jennifer Senior first called a preening narcissist in her NY Times column about Covid: President Trump Is Unfit for This Crisis. Period. His narcissism is a grave danger to out health.

That news conference was, to me, the most frightening moment of the Trump presidency. His preening narcissism, his compulsive lying, his vindictiveness, his terror of germs and his terrifying inability to grasp basic science — all of it eclipsed his primary responsibilities to us as Americans, which was to provide urgent care, namely in the form of leadership.

Trump is someone with narcissistic personality disorder but he's also like the the mythical Narcissis who may not have had the full-fledged disorder. He did, however, fall in love with his own image.  He was, in fact, a preening narcissist.

No amount of make-up can hide the fact that Trump looks like this and Harris looks like this:



Not only that, Kamala can dance. Unlike Trump who looks constipated when he tries to move to music in an approximation of dancing she actually moves her feet and obviously is having fun.
 
What really irks Trump is that he finally thought he found a powerful disparaging nickname for her, Laffin' Kamala. He said that her laugh proved she was crazy. He thought that this would stick. Insead, it backfired. Not only was the word "joy" used more during the DNC than any other word, each time Kamala laughed she was laughing at him whether she was referring to him or not.

Trump advisors are urging him not to attack Kamala personally. This is his response:

“I think I’m entitled to personal attacks. I don’t have a lot of respect for her,” Trump said. He added, without providing evidence or explanation, that he was “very angry at her that she weaponized the justice system against me.”

“They want me to be nice. But they’re not being nice to me. They want to put me in prison,” Trump said. Reference.

This is all B.S. He's really attacking her because he is green with envy over the success of this attractive cheeky woman upstaging him. This flatulant flailing out at her will ultimately be self-defeating because the stench of his fatuous, and if I can coin a term, fartacious fear will begin to waft over and engulf his audience.
