Evelyn Waugh described Trump

[edhopper]

His description of American businessman Rex Mottram in Brideshead Revisted perfectly fits Trump.

He simply wasn’t all there. He wasn’t a complete human being at all. He was a tiny bit of one, unnaturally developed: something in a bottle, an organ kept alive in a laboratory. I thought he was a sort of primitive savage, but he was something absolutely modern and up-to-date that only this ghastly age could produce. A tiny bit of a man pretending he was whole.

I posted this during the election, probably should be re-posted regularly.

1. Wow.

Excellent description.

2. Like that tiny, festering piece of Voldemort

Leftover after all his shattered horcruxes, hiding under a train station bench.

5. He is a "whole", he's an "A-whole"!

The description nails the POS.

8. Sounds like a bad clone experiment.

9. Yes, It sure does.

Almost eerie, in a way.

10. Waugh was one of my mom's favorite writers.

He definitely had a way of putting things.
