Donald Selfish Trump

-

Donald Trump does not want to share his bike.

Americans that don’t want Donald Trump in the White House again, are mad at him for his selfishness. He is destroying a whole country because of it. The U.S. is still not perfect, but it is like Rome. It wasn’t built in a day. Remember, it is easy to destroy than to build.

I’m reluctant to say this, but they are lucky because Trump removed one thorn from the porcupine. Which is? Secrecy. Selfish people know what they want from love affairs, friendship and workplace. The recipient of the selfishness doesn’t. It’s two people that are supposed to go to the market. Suddenly, one says she is not feeling well.

Not Donald Trump. He is like an open plan office. No doors. He doesn’t hide what he is all about. He wants to be U.S. President again and travel in Air Force One, the presidential jet. In fact, calling him selfish is lukewarm. That’s why I borrowed the equivalent of ‘selfish’ from other languages.

Egoisme = French

Egoista = Italian

Egoistisch = German

What is the common factor here? Ego. Trump is beyond selfish. He is full-blown hot air ego. Selfishness boils down to two camps. The camp that knew the intention to cheat, and the one that didn’t. Calling someone selfish is an accusation. It’s not a crime, unless money changes hands. A friend might run away with funds for a future business, suggested by a trusting friend. We call someone selfish because of the pain. Trust was broken.

Donald Trump is like the ocean. Nobody can accuse him of being selfish because he is a show-and-tell guy. This is who I am. This is where I’m going and America be damned, if you try to stop me.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Internet Manners

The internet and mama have something in common: manners.   They believe that always say Hi! To people you meet. Home is where the heart is, but it is rough being at home these digital days.   People are so tied up in chat rooms, Instagram, Twitter, FB, YouTube or Google mania, they don’t have a minute to say hi or good night to people they share a toilet or kitchen with. Thank god for internet players.   They say hi to me when I re-open a document after a thirty minutes’ break.   It’s all automated, but it is nice when the computer calls me by my name and encourages me to continue, where I left off. The internet understands that greetings are the definitive ice breaker, before saying mum, I’m hungry or dad, can I have the car keys? Facebook has taken it to the next level because it understands that I live in a strange province where the weather is a headline story, and not what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks about the Keystone Pipeline, so Facebook reminds me of temperatu
