Trump Cards and Trumpbots 0
At Pyschology Today Blogs, Jeremy Sherman discusses how jerks jerk people about. (For some reason beyond my ken, he chooses to refer to them as “trumpbots.”) Here are his main points; follow the link for an in-depth exploration of each one.
- Wisdom is knowing the healthy moves for the different circumstances.
- The opposite of wisdom is absolute hypocrisy, which can be had by claiming that whatever you do is the best.
- People grant themselves trumped-up (fake) trumpcards, whereby whatever they do is automatically ideal.
- We enable “trumpbots” by thinking that they think or believe or care about anything but winning.
