Before her death, Jane Goodall shared her true feelings about Donald Trump

.... She told the Atlantic, “In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks. The more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position.” ....

Years later, in an interview with MSNBC in 2022, she was reminded of her past comments. As the host, Ari Melber, played a clip of Trump hugging and kissing the American flag, calling himself a “perfect physical specimen,” the scientist was at it again.

“I see the same sort of behaviour as a male chimpanzee will show when he is competing for dominance with another,” Jane Goodall said and laughed. “They’re upright, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and aggressive than they may actually be in order to intimidate their rivals,” Goodall added.

She continued with a comment about her view of the state of the US, saying, “I see that the divisiveness that’s being created in America is a tragedy and it is a tragedy that can have a ripple effect around the world.”

1. Wow, that is profound. I wish the magas would read this, if only they could read.

It sounds like Jane Goodall learned a lot by studying primates.

3. They'd be proud of him.

2. But Chimps are supposed to behave that way. Humans not so much

4. She forgot slinging poop,

trump's main talent.

5. Would a few chimps hog everything for themselves and let the others starve? Are there, well, Republican chimps?

6. The work on dominance was especially fascinating

since it focused more on how they'd gotten there, not what their personalities were like once they got there.] Goodall also studied what happened once they were out of office and the Fatso types were not missed by anoyone and usually faced a swift, solitary, and sad end. One can hope, at least for the "swift" part.

In any case, studies of dominance have shown that bully boy "alpha males" do poorly after they're out of their position, and they're generally out a lot sooner than coalition builders are.
