I suppose I have always liked to think that, at the end of the day, the human ego would have it’s limits; that, when push comes to shove, everyone has just a smidgen of humanity or humility. However, it looks like that assumption has been proven well and truly wrong by Donald Trump. I would defy anyone to read this BBC article and not be utterly aghast by just how far up his own arse he is. Trump claims that, at his court hearing in New York, staff were besotted with him, addressing him as ‘sir’, almost in tears and wishing him well in the next election. To hear Trump tell it, it’s like he was the persecuted man of the people, the entire country on his side, fighting for the little guy against the nasty elite oppressor. It makes you wonder just how anyone can be so self-important or so deluded. More to the point, it also makes you wonder how Trump expects us to believe this bollocks: it is blatantly obvious he is misrepresenting the entire situation, trying to cast himself as the hero. For one, there is no way court officials would be so deferential. If Trump really expects America to believe this hogwash, he really is insulting it.
