"When aging gorilla is confronted with more virile, new alpha-male, he shows submissiveness . . ."

Mrs. Betty Bowers @BettyBowers

“When the aging gorilla is confronted with the much more virile, new alpha-male, he shows submissiveness by grooming the alpha-male, but the gesture is actually a vain attempt by the old gorilla to humiliate his much younger rival.”

10. macron has too much class to smack that scum as would be appropriate.

[colorado_ufo]

23. He doesn't have to.

He is already playing Trump like a cheap violin!

[certainot]

11. in this case the has-been is a POS too

what a dipshit

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. Trump did that too smoothly.....It was rehearsed in his mind.

You can take the man out of the hood
but you can't take the hood out of the man.

Trump uses a repertoire of phrases and gestures to deliberately insult people, he gives it away by too fast, smooth delivery, which just broadcasts what he is doing., Then he laughs it off, forcing the guy to laugh too.

Don't care how deep his fake gold is, the man is no more than a smug bully.

[certainot]

35. i'll bet he asked the assholes around him for suggestions and how to do that and

then picked his own version

[calimary]

12. WOW!!! What a quote!

Explains a whole lot.

40. So, we have a Nit-Picking American president?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Would not believe a man could be so undiplomatic if I hadn't seen that video. . . . nt

[sandensea]

17. I wouldn't believe a president could be so feeble-minded had I not seen that video

That made Dubya look like Bush sr. as far as professionalism and outright social skills.

Macron, of course, handled it great.

[OldHippieChick]

21. Now, now

Dubya did give Angela a shoulder rub.

[sandensea]

30. And, I hope, a nice apology to the Queen after destroying her Victorian-era gardens

Before doing the same to the U.S. economy of course.

36. That was satire, dear. nt

[sandensea]

37. But alas, the damage to the economy was not.

Thanks for pointing that out; with Bush (like with Cheeto), you never know.

[DRoseDARs]

39. Bush was a dim bulb but, unlike Trump, didn't surround himself with dim bulbs. Evil, maybe, dim, no.

Google found 2 relevant hits: The original source and... FreeRepublic getting all butthurt about it besmirching Il Dunce.

I'm part of the generation that got royally screwed by Bush the Lesser's economic chicanery. Was on-track for becoming an architect, economy imploded 2008 and that future completely ended for me. Career path took a less rewarding and economically unstable detour that I'm not likely to ever dig out of.

[True Blue American]

44. Really a shame

How many watched the destruction of their lives during the Bush Recession?

Loss of homes,life savings, yet every where we turn we see complaints about how Obama did not move fast enough.

Now we are seeing the same thing coming.,Stock Market up and down like a yo-yo. Experts are predicting a Recession by the end of the year.

Hang on to your 🎩, Another Recession is coming. We may not recover from this one.

27. I like what chimps do to tyranical leaders

Chimps beat up, murder and then cannibalise their former tyrant

31. Saw a documentary on wolves

If an alpha wolf is too tough on the other wolves, he will be deposed as pack leader and becomes a beta. Wolves have more sense than humans.

[misanthrope]

46. Well, they are humans' closest genetic relative for a reason

Chimps can be nasty pieces of work.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

28. Would love to see the source of that quote supposedly from Jane Goodall.

[NastyRiffraff]

33. PERFECT!

Betty strikes again

[stuffmatters]

34. WhoTF does that? To anyone much less the President of France. Unimagineably gauche,mean & classless

[tavernier]

38. Hysterical comedy skit!!

Who did the editing? It almost looks real!
I’m still ROFLMAO!! This is sure to piss off Rump because it makes him look like one of those old pissed off gorillas trying to groom the younger and stronger one so he won’t be sent off to die in the jungle.

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. Oh Good God.

That is HYSTERICAL!

I am hoping so hard that he sees it.

[Oneironaut]

42. Trump is disgustingly animalistic - like a gorilla.

He tries to dominate other humans through absurd acts (like hovering over them, or humiliating them). Not to mention how physically disgusting he is as well - he looks like an overfed primate at the zoo. He also has the impulse control of an animal - my dog has more self control. If someone left a piece of cake out, I would fully expect him to run up to it and start snarfing it down his disgustingly round pie-hole.

His cringe-worthy, nauseating behavior is more like the missing link than an actual human. He acts like an ape that is barely intelligent enough to function in our world, but still has the behaviors of an ape.

[Diremoon]

43. There is nothing in the animal kingdom that would ever stoop to the levels of trump.

I hardly ever post, but I despise Trump to such an extent that I hate to see any other creature denigrated by comparing them to him. And certainly not a gorilla. I view them as very noble, an attribute that doesn't even apply to him.

[misanthrope]

45. Jane Goodall's forte was chimps

Dian Fossey was the one who studied gorillas.
