Trump Is Like an Aggressive Chimp and May Not Last Long as President, Says Jane Goodall
Newsweek ^ | September 20, 2017 | Tufayel Ahmed

Primatologist Jane Goodall has made her name studying chimpanzees for over half a century. So, if anyone can deduce a distinct correlation between a brash chimp and the egoistic hubris of, say, the president of the United States, it’s Goodall.

Pre-election, last October, Goodall made a comparison between then-Republican candidate Donald Trump and the primates she has devoted her life to understanding.

“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” she told the Atlantic.

“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.”

Some years into her study on chimps Jane Goodall got a rude shock. One band of her peaceful chimps, stalked and hunted the other group to extinction. Didn’t jibe with her theories. Konrad Lorenz and Robert Ardrey’s theories on aggression were vindicated. Ms Goodall just had a blind spot for the chimps IMHO..

I’m noticing more and more Middle Eastern names as I post these articles, and I post a lot of them.

She didn’t study. She stole others work, tried to destroy them and take credit for their work.

She’s the Hillary Clinton of the Primate Research Field. To bad she wasn’t ripped apart by the Gorillas.

Flossie was the real deal. Goodall is a money grubbing, glory seeking viper!

Nice try. Don’t forget it was Obama who Putin called a monkey with a hand grenade.

“I assume she knows that dominant chimpanzees literally bite the gonads off their rivals to kill them.”

I thought Trump grabbed some *female* genitalia, not male balls.

She raised both human and chimp IQ when she started living among the chimps.

haha Yea. She’d be hanging out with the group of other washed up old chimp ladies ganging up on the pretty young chimp chicks out of jealousy. Sorta like they did Stands With a Fist in that Indian tribe.
