@KiwiBird She doubled down on this years later.
Goodall, renowned for her chimp field research and environmental advocacy, in 2022 told MSNBC’s Ari Melber that Trump displays “the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another.”
“They’re upright, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and aggressive than they may actually be in order to intimidate their rivals,” Goodall said.

Donald Trump was put here on earth and in particular, was put in the position of POTUS not for his benefit, but for the benefit of Americans who otherwise lack common sense. Trump is therefore a Teacher sent down from god himself, who will teach Americans what happens when they show up at the polling stations drunk or worse yet, when they don't show up at all and therefore, don't vote.
Not voting at all was a vote for Trump because to not vote means, they never did anything within their one-vote power to stop Trump from getting re-Elected.

If we want to understand how and why America functions or dysfunctions as it does, then 'WE' around the world who are not privy to the trappings of the USA have to understand my basic premise that America IS where it is because Americans themselves are not particularly well-educated, nor are Americans a particularly well-informed mass of people as a collective and therefore, should not be allowed to choose the POTUS solely from their individual vote.
Therefore, when Americans DO act either through primal impulse or from being told by their government to act, their childhood training tells them to follow the crowd and do as their government tells them to do.
If you personally want to go through life understanding absolutely shitte-all about Americans, then you will continue to question why Americans do as they do.
But if you want to be relieved of the burden of American ass-backward wonderment, then you must come to a solid place in your own understanding of how and why America functions or dysfunctions as badly it does.
For you to blatantly refuse to understand the American mind as if it were not your problem, it is YOU who will learn of the consequences of "not having to understand shitte" if that basic understanding of Americanism is left unlearned by YOU, not Americans!

@swirlie I see what you are saying. But maybe it is the context that brings us to cross purposes here. As a close neighbour, with an economy still interdependent, your perspective must carry the consideration of shared consequence. If the horse dies in your neighbours yard, the stink will be in your house too.
Since I am further away and much less connected. Plus I look in terms of the rise and fall of economic empires over time, I look at America as being another Spain, France or Britain. Distant and of no long term impact..There are differences to be sure.. As a nation, America is well resourced and self sustaining. So it wont settle into the relative obscurity of say Greece. But Americans egos are definitly propped up by the recent history and they will take the fall from grace badly..😷
