What Do Ass Kissers See When They Look in the Mirror?

 

What Do Ass Kissers See When They Look in the Mirror?

Since my retirement, I have more time on my hands to think deeper and with considerably more insight. That said, I realized how much time I've spent haranguing the Trump Administration and its cohorts for its blatant shortcomings and incompetence. However, it might be interesting to delve deeper into the psychology of those who made a conscious decision to remain loyal to a character like Donald Trump.

Being mocked for being ass kissing, booth-licking sycophants, with no self-respect, how do they look at themselves in the mirror and justify their existence? As I examine the White House staff, Donald Trump's Cabinet, and anyone who would remain in his orbit for longer than a minute, I am curious to know how people perceived themselves and what their friends, families, and colleagues thought of them.

As a prideful person, not to a fault, mind you, but I must admit dignity, integrity, and self-respect are high on the list of qualities I’ve embraced to maintain an image of someone to be a model to follow. So, the more I thought about this topic, the more I wondered if these flunky monkeys and career lackeys lived with themselves knowing they were being lambasted in the media, in their communities, or worse, behind their backs by their spouses, children, and other family members. And what about their neighbors? 

Imagine the looks, the snickering, and the smirks that they notice when they’re shopping in a market or sitting at their kids' recital. Do they care? Or do they lack self-awareness to the extent that they’re oblivious to the ridicule? Think about it, if the public is laughing out loud about their boss, don’t they realize they too are considered laughing stocks as well. Do they ever quietly consider resigning, or have they reasoned that they’ve stayed too long and would carry a negative moniker like “toady” to their graves?

Short story time: 

This weekend, Trump was booed mercilessly and yelled at during the awarding of the trophy to Chelsea Captain James Reese. After presenting the trophy to Reese, rather than allow the winning team to have their moment, Trump lingered amongst the players to bask in their glory. Even when the FIFA President tried to direct the attention hog off the stage respectfully, Trump seemingly ignored the coaxing and smiled for the photo opportunity. Disgracefully awkward and thoroughly disrespectful, to say the least.

I included this tale merely to give the reader another reason to ponder why anyone would allow themselves to be subjugated to a pompous, self-promoting clown like Donald Trump. Could it be Washington’s Flunky class is trading their dignity for the perks and access to power, the invites to the private parties of the privileged, or the networking opportunities that exist at the top of the food chain in the world of the sycophants?

In my view, these are despicable creatures of the lowest order and not individuals I’d permit in my life experience. But that’s easy for me to say, considering I'm an avowed Slacker and have been so since middle school. And it takes a lot of time, energy, effort, ambition, and commitment to be a hard-working “Toady” for some clout and material gain. No way, no how, for no body. No matter who the Hell they are. But hey, that’s just me!
