So well written! I amaze myself that I can still laugh when I read posts such as yours but that’s the well written part I’m reacting to! Thanks!

Many thanks, Tom, for the recounting of the many attempts by a deeply insecure precedent to reassure himself of his worth, but do you really need to be a retired physician/psychiatrist to see the truth of Trump's psychopathology? Nah, you got it!

A ‘full and overflowing diaper load’ will henceforth be named: ‘The Ordinary Trumper’

One is surprised that he failed to try to attach his infamous name to slander the word "Intelligence", but settled for "Super", probably because "Trump Intelligence" would have had every person on Earth laughing their collective ass off. Not so good for his narcissistic supply, ya know.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Gen. 1:26).

“Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name” (Gen. 2:19).

In the patriarchal mythology, the act of naming implies dominion. This is deep in the tradition, a foundational trope.
