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.”

Trump’s election campaign was littered with plenty of metaphorical stamping and rock-throwing.....

I had the same thought! Who dug her up?
A chimp, really?

And what chimp action would she compare Hillary to?

In 8 years after two terms can we say Trump made a monkey out of Jane Goodall?

just to make the point. Humans are not chimps. Just needed to clarify that. Dominance in human society is a little more complex and nuanced than in chimp society. Humans vote, chimps don’t.

The level of social complexity in chimp society rises no higher than tribal and gang related levels of organization. Chimps can have factions built around alpha males, humans have political parties. As you explore these comparisons, the good Jane Goodall’s analogy breaks down. Nations can be moved by the notion of The Forgotten Man, but groups of chimps will not be moved by the notion of The Forgotten Chimp. Just saying...

This woman might be able to communicate with chimps and chumps, but she’s not qualified to offer her silly opinion on our most honorable Commander in Chief.

It was nice of Newsweek to translate Jane Goodall’s slobbering grunts into English.

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

Well, Rocketboy had better watch out... he might be indentifying as a girl soon.

No, that was a completely unrelated case of a friend of someone owning a pet chimp.

Goodall’s known more for research on gorillas.

They're obviously singing together there, probably this song -- "Hey Hey, We're The Monkeys".

I thought gorillas ate her.

And raped her too..... - I hear she got pretty banged up and a friend visited her in the hospital and asked if the brute had hurt her. She said he had hurt her really bad - hadn't called or wrote and it had been at least 2 weeks.....

OK - so I stole an old joke - it seemed to be apt....

Goodall is a Globalist liberal through and through. She wants every person and chimps to have free access from country to country. She made a living looking at chimpanzee’s and gorilla’s. She has no clue on how main street economy works, and how the vast hard working middle class makes a living.

No, she transformed into a gorilla and is attacking all the “chimps” she thinks she sees around her. Humans make up her monkey world.

The logical thing to take from this is to assume ALL heads of state are
Chimps. IF you accept that asinine assumption then yes, I want POYUS to be the Alpha chimp.

Now let me compare liberals to the weak, spineless chimps ruled by the Alpha who despise their self imposed status in life. Tit for tat.

If you live with monkeys long enough, you start to think like one. Goodall is a typical Anglo-Libtard. Right from the place where PC was spawned and now is turned into an Islamist broodery.
