Thinking First, Then Going Right Ahead With Talking Trash , Donald Trump Style

MUCH HAS BEEN MADE OF DONALD TRUMP'S alleged unfiltered honesty, that he is a man who pulls no punches, shoots straight, says what he thinks, right off the well dressed cuff. This notion is greatly mistaken. Let us all agree that there is a substantial difference between making outlandish comments, responding rapidly, and saying what you think. The received reasoning seems to go something to the effect that nobody could possibly make as many outrageous statements as Mr. Trump, without them being genuine, from the heart, honest to a fault. Not true. It is perfectly possible for any normal human being to utter inanities with fore thought. In fact, among the drastically misguided, the more unbelievable the remark, chances are, the less it is to be believed, the more a product of willful deception and dishonesty. Pernicious, calculating people rarely reveal their cards initially, business people in particular, and here the intent is not to categorize business people as pernicious, but indeed the intent is very definitely to categorize them as calculating, otherwise they wouldn't be in business long. Donald Trump has been in business long, is demonstrably pernicious, as witnessed by his apparent delight in firing and otherwise doing great damage to people, and if he isn't calculating, then that descriptive term doesn't belong in any standardized dictionary of the English language. When Obama first took office, and even before, here came Trump, with his very calculated, very pernicious, and very insane "birther" movement, wherein no amount of documentary evidence, including a valid Hawaiian birth certificate, testimony from elderly retired delivery room nurses who were there when Obama issued forth from his mother's womb, or impassioned testimony from Obama family members and friends, could convince his pernicious Trump card playing majesty to cease and desist with his outlandish foolishness. Thus did the Donald reveal his true nature, as people are unwittingly wont to do, by exposing himself as possessed of enormously poor judgement, pernicious, but, in the end, quite calculating, quite the premeditated man. Accusing Obama of entering this tragically flawed world in every every locale under the sun other than Hawaii, Trump was neither speaking spontaneously, nor revealing his true thoughts. He knew perfectly well where Obama was born, only he decided not to say so. And that is exactly the way he has conducted himself since the first day he entered the race for the presidency; he thinks first, then lies.
