Hint: it's NOT Donald Trump (sr. or jr.)
This TED Talk was published two years ago in July.
I watched it then. In 2018, we didn't know who would end up being the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2020. Please take the 16 minutes to be enlightened by Frans de Waal.
In 2016, Trump conned millions of people with his demagoguery, aka fake empathy.
In 2020, Joe Biden is the real deal. So is Kamala Harris. They both have the qualities Professor de Waal says genuine alpha males demonstrate consistently. With Biden, it's not an act.
He's been a public servant all of his adult life. He has shown voters that he cares about Main Street America. Kamala's been a public servant for a long time also.
Other than enriching himself and his friends, does he do anything as president for any purpose other than projecting an image?
These images are from a TED Talk in 2013 by model Cameron Russell, that she titled "Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model." But not only is image powerful, it's also superficial. Same with Trump and his performances this week at the Really Nutty and Crazy fest.
Anyway, for this election season, the "elephant" in the room is Trump's response to the covid19 pandemic.
#ETTD, aka everything Trump touches dies.
I know, that could be discouraging. But this next minute and a half video might help you feel a bit more hopeful.
Trump is going down, my friends. He'll bluster and figure out ways to cheat until it's over, but he will not win. He IS going down.
