Jane Goodall: Trump debates like a chimp in a dominance ritual
Washington Examiner ^ | September 17, 2016 | Joseph Lawler

Donald Trump's debates the way chimpanzees try to dominate rivals, according to remarks from the world's most famous expert on chimpanzees.

"In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,"Jane Goodall, the world-famous primatologist and anthropologist, told the Atlantic's James Fallows for a piece posted Saturday.

Boy the New York elite is real desperate if they have to have Jane Goodall start making political commentary. I wonder if it would be racist to say some of Obama’s actions have been like chimps? Yeah Ill bet it would. I wonder then why Jane's comments aren't equally improper?

Hillary debates like the mom who couldn’t control her child after he fell into Harambe’s zoo habitat.

Goodall might be a world-famous primatologist and anthropologist, but she knows zero about politics.

Look where the chimp has his right hand. And they say chimps are dumb.

They can find absolutely NOTHING on Mr. Trump, so the resort to ad hominem attack: ad ho·mi·nem ˌad ˈhämənəm/ adverb & adjective adverb: ad hominem; adjective: ad hominem (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining. The left thinks that we evolved from primates so what is the problem? If we DID evolve, how come there are still primates.

When it comes to chimpanzee behavior, she is THE subject matter expert. No one has spent as much time with them, to the point where they are so acclimated to her, that her presence no longer alters their behavior. Her research is ground breaking, insightful and an invaluable addition to scientific knowledge.

However, she completely lacks an understanding of American politics, Mr. Trump, nor electioneering. It is unfortunate she chose to attempt an analogy on a subject she does not know or understand.

Goodall’s a little late with her insults, and not very original. Months ago, there were a few FReepers (Cruz supporters) who thought themselves just so clever in referring to Trump supporters here as “Trumpanzees”. When Trump won the primary, most of them left.

Well, old Badall is an evolutionist, is she not?

That just means that Donald is an alpha male descended in a long line from other primates.

What is her problem with that?

Goodall's original quote from the Atlantic article was:

"In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Jane Goodall, the anthropologist, told me shortly before Trump won the GOP nomination. “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.”

This election cycle has really torn back the curtain on the thinking of the leftist elites and intellectuals. Clearly Goodall's thinking and analysis applies to human males of all races. So here we are in 2016, with a liberal intellectual woman telling us that "males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays," one example of which would be the kind of dominance rituals that lead to so many shootings in inner city neighborhoods.

Now we know what the liberal elite has always believed.

One of Trumps strengths is his ability to recognize extreme talent.
