Ode to a Louse - update

Robert Burns wrote a poem about an incident that happened at Church. A snobby unpleasant woman saw people staring at her and assumed they were impressed. In truth, there was a louse running around on her bonnet, of which she was unaware. Donald Trump addressed the United Nations. Everyone considered him a loud mouthed liar who looks for attention. No one likes him, but most know how to use him. As the woman in church, he doesn't have the gift to see himself as others see him.

Seeing youself as others see you is one of the hallmarks of "self actualization," according to humanistic psychologists like Rogers and Maslow. Good story..

Trump thinks people look up to him, trust him, think he is 'all that'. If he only knew....

@jaylar He has led a pathetic life. The Christian in me feels for him. But I cannot support him in any way

@TheHorse I consider him evil. A person who thinks only of himself.

Good comparison, the similarity with this unpleasant woman and Donald is perfect. He thinks that everyone looks at him because impressed, WRONG!

He lives in a fantasy and if one understands the nature, they can play him like a yo yo

I have this feeling if someone took a video of Trump during one of his worst rants he would not recognize himself, He is above all that,
