"He wasn't a complete human being at all."

[edhopper]

I have periodically posted this quote of Evelyn Waugh from Brideshead Revisited
He is describing Rex Mottram, but it is amazingly fitting for our soon to be ex President.

“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 the whole.”

4. That could be a lot of trumper-repugs

Moscow/Beijing Mitch
Stephen Nazi Miller
Gaetz, Jordon, etc.

5. That description goes well with what I've been using to decribe Drumpf and many of the henchmen.

Simulacrums.

6. So true

7. Very true.

He's not a real person or whole human, or any like that.

8. Regarding trump, to use the word "man" in a description of him is an insult to real men everywhere.

9. "He was a tiny bit of one",

giving him too much credit. He has no humanity what so ever.

[Joinfortmill]

10. Exactly right.

[RainCaster]

11. He is not "modern and up to date"

He is a throwback to the age when white men ruled everything and everyone. His appeal to the MAGAts is exactly that.

[llmart]

12. Perfect description.

Fits him to a tee.

14. The Loved One

is hysterical. A great send up of Hollywood.
