I can’t believe this hasn’t been diaried here. Jane Goodall has an interview in The Atlantic likening Trump’s act to chimp dominance behavior. From The Hill:
thehill.com/…
In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”
Goodall compared the GOP presidential nominee specifically to a chimp she wrote about in “My Life With the Chimpanzees” named Mike.
Mike kicked kerosene cans down the road as he walked as a dominance ritual, creating a noise that alarmed and scared off his rivals.
“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,” Goodall said.
“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Goodall told
The Atlantic.
I picture a split-screen campaign ad with Trump doing his act on one side and the corresponding chimp dominance ritual on the other. How about a poo-flinging scene?
