Trump's Mouth

 

I have a big mouth and I am a brutally, blunt speaker, and ENTJ, that has often been hated for scaring and offending people with strong, sometimes rude remarks. I have really worked at curbing that: being a normative and rational egoist are not justifications for being discourteous towards others, and hurting their feelings intentionally, or by thoughtless, caustic remarks.

 

Now that is not the same as being unwilling to seek, think, write, and speak what is true, no matter who is offended by it, or who refuses to hear criticism, no matter how harsh it is, or how sad or upset it makes them feel.

 

While by careful and courteous speech, we do not want to alienate others, we all must agree among each other that, for the civil society to function, for truth to rule us and for communication and dialogue to occur, to speak plainly, honestly and forthrightly, about ourselves, and what we see others doing and being, all about them and ourselves that is positive and negative—these conversations and writings must flow openly and as the communicator intends without pushback.

 

Of course, we all should be offended when someone gaslights us, or smears us, or is needlessly, verbally sadistic. As we love ourselves, we let no one verbally abuse us, slander us, or lie about us. We also should strive to speak accurately, truthfully, and as respectfully to and about others as we can achieve.

 

We also must toughen up, and not be offended by free speech, insensitive speech or even what the Leftist authoritarians seeks to suppress and censor, free speech that they mischaracterize and degrade into a category of hate speech. The ideal social arrangement, in terms of fostering an atmosphere of near absolute free speech and candor, speaking in the future cannot occur because it will be socially, educationally, and legally punished. None of this corrupt, totalitarian speech restricting can ever be tolerated or asked. The government on all levels must not censor free speech anywhere, ever, or we will no longer be living in a constitutional republic.

 

This brings me back to my beloved Donald Trump. He has gotten better, but he is still too mouth, verbally offensive and verbally abusive, and it might well cost him the reelection as swing-Democrats, independents and educated women in the suburbs hate him for his mean personality.

 

He is essentially a good and decent and honest man, and a brilliant administrator, but the way he puts down his Presidential candidate competitors horrifies me and offends me: it makes him look mean and a bully.

 

He is pugnacious and strong, and lets no one push him around, and he disallows the cruel and verbally vicious left to insult him without fighting back, and I want him to fight, fight back hard every time, but not be casually verbally mean for its own sake. He may already have doomed his reelection chances—and we need him there so bad—with his big mouth.

 

I want him to take apart the Administrative state, reign in the fascistic, authoritarian, weaponized FBI and DOJ, make America great again, protect strong 2A rights, restrict abortion (within reason), close the border, balance the budget and build up our military, but if the people cannot tolerate his mouth and personality, they will not reelect him, and they need him to be here President in 2025.
