That’s a thing with his spoiled toddler emotional dysfunction that I’ve recognized but never really given a lot of thought to. He self-evidently has some seriously warped ideas regarding sex, but they don’t fit neatly into a toddler worldview, since toddlers are ignorant of sex. So I knew there was some way that he’d essentially adapted sexual desire to that extreme degree of emotional immaturity, but hadn’t sorted out exactly what it is.
And everything clicked with the idea of objectification. I have no doubt that that’s the link I hadn’t sussed out.
And it’s undoubtedly been recursive - like he started out objectifying women and thus treating their refusal to have sex with him the same way that another toddler would treat mom’s refusal to buy him a candy bar at the supermarket - but then over time developed a set of more specific ideas to better frame things - like “nasty” as a descriptor of someone who refuses his advances - which then melded back into his broader worldview.
When I wrote that last one, I had a hard time fitting “nasty” in. He’s obviously using it to represent bad/mean/awful, but the word has a specific spin that I couldn’t quite get a grip on, since it doesn’t seem to quite match up with any of the common usages I was considering.
And I have zero doubt that you’re right - that inside his own head, it’s playing the same role it would in the phrase “nasty whore.” And for the same reason - from his cripplingly self-absorbed viewpoint, he’s already recited the incantations about how beautiful she is and how cherished she’ll be, so it’s time for her to lie back and submit. And the nasty whore refuses…
Yeah, I recognised it immediately by his body language and facial expression, tone of voice etc. That creepy coaxing…yuck. It’s actually kinda rare to see in the wild because someone would have to have zero insight to act that way so brazenly.
It sometimes feels like we’re going down in a blaze of shit. We were supposed to be better than this by now. Not even just america, it just seems like our advances as a species mean nothing when a significant proportion are acting as badly or even worse than ancient peoples did.
And the rest of us are using our species’ advances to watch in real time and commentate, make predictions about what stupidities and indignities will be thrust upon us. It reminds me a bit of Wall-E.
Even with my fascination with character analysis and the rich vein of freakishness Trump provides, I generally can’t watch him - he’s just too creepy and unsettling.
Ooh… nicely spotted.

And for someone who acts like this to develop a cult of personality and be elected to Supreme Leader?
The fucking fuck man… This is the stupidest shit that has ever happened on this planet.

Ah… that makes sense.

Same. Especially when he does the exaggerated and arrogant sneering ‘voices’. Kaamaalaaa.
It’s weirdly like how some people talk down to children.
