You say he's a sociopath. I disagree.Firstly, your premise is flawed. If you ever find a man that talks down to everybody not named Trump that disagrees with him or doesn't do things his way, let me know.I've not had such a delusion. Had he pined for respect from me, he'd have known better than to show his liberal bias. If you cannot see his self-imposed air of intellectual superiority, I cannot help you.Sheee-it!
You suffer from the illusion of adequacy. You should give up your delusional Quest to become a respected writer of op-eds and become an accomplished window washer...or a Greeter at Walmart.
maybe you should give up the delusion that the OP was ever pining for respect from YOU.
A good op-ed writer can relate well thought out logic and reason to readers without revealing a sense of superiority or a hint of disdain for the readers whether they be of his particular political bent or not. Talking down to people is little more than an attempt to shame them into agreement with your opinion. This is the tool of adolescents and incompetent debaters.
On this board, it is easy to slip into such adolescent banter, partially due to anonymity, free speech and the non-exclusive policies of those that control the board, all of which I appreciate. I do it myself, all too often. A tendency toward competing in cuteness of response is often irresistible...and the misconception that the last post wins tends to perpetuate the tart one-liners.
Please explain for the class how anybody can or could write about a man that doesn't represent the majority but that acts like the majority and that talks down to everybody not named trump that disagrees with him or doesn't do things his way in an unbiased way?
Then let me know.
Secondly, it's quite simple to write an unbiased article about any person or group of people. You simply stick to the truth concerning what they say and what they do rather than paraphrasing what they say, taking it out of context or lying about or misrepresenting what they do (or did). These are the things that should be factually represented.
Thirdly, you keep your naturally biased opinion clearly separated from the reports of what the subject person(s) said or did.
It is the OPINION part of an article that is seldom, if ever, unbiased.
Judicial review, I'm letting you know.
There's 1 critical flaw that you didn't mention here that make your entire premise flawed. Donald Trump is a sociopath. He fits the medical definition.
Sociopaths think only what they say or do is right and they talk down to everybody else.
You talk about the opinion part being where the problem is. Actually no matter what opinion was posted it wouldn't matter because nobody supports a sociopath because you'll find selfishness in every thing he says and does.
This article was about trump. Not something trump said. There's a huge difference. Read the whole oped. What he said was a small part. In fact take everything he's said and cite it and it will all have the word , me, I etc..
I also disagree with your contention that all sociopaths think only what they say or do is right and they talk down to everybody else.
I also disagree with your contention that Trump thinks only what he says or does is right and he talks down to everybody else.
I'm not a psychologist and I doubt you are either. What I know about sociopaths could be written on the back of a postage stamp. Here are some things that may or may not fit Donald Trump. I have made bold the ones I think do not. The ones I left alone I know nothing about.
