Ni!

Welcome to personality disorder level narcissism.

Or it’s just a creative, figurative way to express a difficult concept.

Power has corrupted long, long before capitalism. Power and corruption are ancient beings.

Because money robs the intrinsic joys of life.

Lots of research proves it. Here’s just one example https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/intrinsic-joy-sparks-ideas-better-than-cash

Also, money is literally power and no one handles power well. It corrupts and the more money the more it ruins people. It really is the root of all that’s bad.

Why is this guy always on the wrong side of things?

I think she ate all the other creepy Black Hole Sun people and now she’s the Black Hole Sun Boss.

Can you imagine waking up and seeing that face staring at you?

Who approved this photo btw? Was this the best one of all of them they took? How much money do you have to have to get someone to help you look better than that in a photo? Like what?

Edit: oh no, whatever you do, do not zoom in, trust me

Of course you’re right, and I would argue that calling a woman a “fat, ugly pig” stems from the associations I point out.

The pig insult is so common, I think we’re all trying to understand why such a common and known insult would be so much more shocking to us. It isn’t just because it comes from a sitting US president. Trump is known for his viscous insults and we’ve all heard them.

Saying, “quiet, piggy” was a mask slip more revealing than many of us can even consciously comprehend.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s when it was acceptable for parents to physically beat their children, and when when I saw this clip of Trump it shocked me because the look on his face, the finger pointing, and the sound of his voice was exactly how my father looked and sounded right before he would take off his belt to beat us with it. I can’t be the only one who has these memories.

Also using the word “piggy” is revealing of how he sees people. Pigs are associated with slaughter and murder in nearly all of our stories. We kill and eat pigs. The upper classes see the rest of us as pigs to harvest and slaughter and consume. In their eyes how dare a lowly pig meant for their dinner plates question them and talk back to them. What Trump did and said revealed all this horror.
