Trump’s Behavior Similar To Male Chimpanzee, Says Jane Goodall(thinks Americans are chimps?)
9/17/2016 | Chris D'Angelo

Posted on 09/17/2016 10:42:05 PM PDT by ransomnote

Full article to huffpo is here http:(slash-slash)www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-chimpanzee-behavior_us_57ddb84fe4b04a1497b4e512?

In said article, Jane compares Trumps "performances" to chimps who rise through the animal hierarchy by dominance displays "stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.” Here's a quote from the article:

"Goodall added, “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.”

Huffpo's insinuation appears to be that Trump is leading and winning right now because Americans are chimps and they respond to dominant chimp displays. Goodall studied chimps because the public couldn't possibly understand chimp behavior without studying it closely but Huffpo is hard on the campaign trail, implying that Trump is rising because we respond to chimp behavior. Nice.

This is what’s wrong with wackadoodles - they think they are the only people capable of reasoned, logical thought and everyone else is just reacting to stimuli on a primal level - which, if you think about it, is a serious slam against women.

Works for me! I guess we can look forward to 8 years of a Trump Presidency.

Yes - there’s a smirking little comment by her that says when she watches Trump, she’ll be thinking of a chimp named Eddie. Not Matilda or Wanda - Eddie.
Thanks for searching it up. Huffpo is really taking out all they stops to prop up the mule Huma is using to carry her into the Sec of State position captured in WIkileaks!

"Trump’s Behavior Similar To Male Chimpanzee"???

That's odd, I think Obama’s Behavior Similar To Male Chimpanzee (because he slings a lot of CRAP)!

I'll laugh my ass off when Trump rips her face off, chews off a few of her fingers and then gets really nasty. Play chimp games, win chimp prizes.

Not that I'm aware of.   Those "stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks” activities Goodall speaks of sound a lot more like the behaviors exhibited by some of the oddballs in those groups that Soros pays for.

Why wasn’t she asked about Hillary Clinton?

Isn’t it classic female chimpanzee behavior to pick nits?

The Jane Goodall Institute receives about $11,922,954 in grants annually. It is a strong animal rights organization. It looks like a successful operation which indicates strong animal rights supporters. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clinton Foundation was one of their donors judging from her anti-Trump message.

At 82, Jane's salary from the Institute is about $54,000 a year. I would have expected more. Her latest book, Seeds of Hope: Wisdom and Wonder from the World of Plants, published in 2013, was found to be richly plagiarized. It was edited and published again in 2014 to correct the plagiarized sections. It has a strong anti-GMO message that does not conform to the science. I am not certain of its success after the news of its plagiarism.

See my post #34. Could not find any evidence of a decline in the Jane Goodall Institute to support my suspicion that Goodall’s besmirch of Trump was an effort to bolster a failing operation. The book she published in 2013 may be a source of troubles that may be a negative factor.

I thought this old bitty was dead. Killed by a gorilla/guerilla or something.

I thought so too. Then remembered 'Dian Fossey.'

American zoologist, primatologist, and anthropologist who undertook an extensive study of mountain gorilla groups... Fossey was murdered in 1985; the case remains open. wikipedia.org

Amazing how much the left defends Islam which actually is a real threat to their proclamations of peace and love and tolerance et al

Yet they hold back nothing from attacking Christendom and Western Civilization

Two cornerstones that gave them the freedom they purport to be defending yet they detest both

It’s really amazing that their sense of social justice and fear of pushback against abortion and non traditional marriage supersedes a rational reaction to a clear and present proven danger

One day folks will look back and see is pitifully weak and dare I say....deserving of our destruction

And that's the root of the Left's strange bedfellowship with Islam -- their shared hatreds. It forms a bond of such strength that it causes leftists to either ignore or make excuses for Moslems at every uncomfortable turn. Add to that their paralyzing fear of being seen as "racist" (despite the fact that Islam isn't a race) and the situation becomes, as you said, pitiful.

Islam now inhabits the top block on the leftist victim pyramid, above even homos and blacks. Never thought I'd see that day.

You’re thinking Diane Fossey

The American gorilla lady who was murdered 30 years ago in Rwanda

She was way nuttier than Brit Goodall

Africa has proven quite perilous for idealistic women animal lovers

Joy Adamson the lion lady was murdered too

Her and Fossey killed by employees likely
