Two Weeks on a Deserted Island: Thoughts on Trump and Beyond

Two Weeks on a Deserted Island: Thoughts on Trump and Beyond

I would rather jump into a vat of alcohol filled with razor blades than spend two weeks on a deserted island with Donald Trump. The idea of being trapped with him, without the luxury of discussing politics, sounds like a nightmare. Trump would be more than happy to monopolize the conversation, reciting his achievements and grievances unceasingly. He wouldn't give me a chance to share my thoughts or experiences.

A Misfit Island Experience

Imagine this: we are stuck, without respite, on a remote island. In these two weeks, Trump wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. He would regale me with tales of how he grabbed women by the psy, how he was robbed in the 2020 elections, and how incredibly attractive his daughter, Ivanka, is. Even without the freedom to discuss politics, Trump follows his whims.

Exploring Personal Insight Without Politics

One way to cope with such an uncomfortable situation would be to delve into family history. It's a powerful tool that reveals a great deal about someone. A person who is very private, perhaps suffering from some hidden issues, will be more likely to open up about their family narrative. Conversely, someone who is open with their stories often does so for a reason - to find help or support.

During those two weeks, we could talk about our grandfathers, ancestral stories, and the legacies we carry. Such discussions might provide valuable insights into Trump's psyche. His background might reflect a desire to 'make it great in America'. This urge for dominance and greatness might explain his bullying and lying behavior, even if it's unverified.

Constructing a Human Picture

Despite not being an ardent Trump supporter, I'm confident that with enough time and patience, I could initiate such a conversation. The first few days would be stressful, but engaging in activities like shelter construction might help him relax and open up. It’s important to note that even seemingly evil or domineering individuals have human traits hidden beneath the surface. Their immediate environment can often twist them into behaving outside the social norms we expect.

For instance, we would talk about golf. Trump has a longstanding 60-year relationship with the game, and he likely has a wealth of stories to share. Whether it's about his experiences at legendary courses, or his matches against other celebrities, he would undoubtedly have fascinating tales to tell. This shared interest could serve as a stepping stone for deeper conversations.

The underlying question is this: why is Trump such a moron? Spending time with him could help us identify his motives, gain a deeper understanding of his character, and perhaps find ways to approach him with more empathy or even wit. In the end, the goal is not just to survive the two weeks but to understand the man behind the controversial persona.
