printIt was charming when the sainted John F. Kennedy expressed what the girly media term “vengeful” sentiments, but not when it’s Donald J. Trump.
JFK said, “Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.”
DJT advised, “If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck!” Or, “”When people wrong you, go after those people, because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it,” he writes. “I always get even.”
“When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades” and “Go for the jugular so that people watching will not want to mess with you.”
Very Old Testament.
In fact, Trump says as much: “I believe in an eye for an eye — like the Old Testament says,” he wrote in “The Art of the Comeback.”
All normal humans bear grudges. Members of the media have a list of emotions and states-of-being they’ve stigmatized in the hope of shaping others in their feminized, PC, milquetoast images.
Most people harbor these sentiments but lie about them. Trump is truthful about who he is and is hard on himself, to boot.
Trump sounds like he belongs in an Ayn Rand novel, opting to build “skyscrapers instead of affordable rental units”:
“I love to see the crowds of people oohing and aahing at the stunning marble and the breathtaking 80-foot waterfall,” he wrote. “In truth I am dazzled as much by my own creations as are the tourists and glamour hounds that flock to Trump Tower … or any of my other properties.”
