Trying To Be More Like Trump

This is actually a caterpillar, but it resembles Trump’s hair enough to make the cut.

So today I had a mad day.

You know those mornings when you wake up tired and you basically feel like you’re playing catch-up for the rest of the day? I’ve had one of those days. Hence the late night blog post through eyes that are so bleary they feel like they might close of their own accord aaaaaaany minu-

Where was I?

Oh, right. I was talking about the day I’ve had and how tired I am. Well, yes. I just had cereal for dinner, which is a surefire sign that all is not as it should be; usually I love cooking dinner and making something – anything – that tastes good and involves vegetables of some kind so that I can pat myself on the back and tell myself I’m being healthy (potatoes count as a vegetable). And yet tonight, I had a dinner of bitesize wheaties. I’m depressing myself just typing that.

So.

Today.

Some very adult-y type things were done today.

And some not so adult-y type things (after all, balance is a necessary part of life).

I was going to write about the adult-y thing today, but then the hours of the day saw me coming and decided to make a break for it, and they completely escaped me and now here we are and it’s almost midnight.

I was sitting here feeling terrible about not having the time to write about what I want to write about, when I saw a news story about Donald Trump and thought, ‘I should be more like Donald Trump.’

No, I don’t mean I should be a sexist, bigoted moron, but in the grand tradition of believing there’s nobody you can’t learn something from, I think we can all let just a tiny pinch of Donald Trump’s self-assuredness rub off on us every once in a while.

Not a large amount. Not even a spoonful (this stuff is potent, after all).

Still, just a tiny pinch might not do any harm.

In the mind of Donald Trump, he can do no wrong. Donald Trump is the best, most accomplished man he knows. He is his own role model. There is no room for self-doubt under that badly-dyed patch of wool roving. He never even stops to consider the fact that somebody who disagrees might have a valid point; that would clearly be a waste of time since he is always right. He sticks to his beliefs, even when they diverge from the route of reality. If he wants something to be true, he simply believes that it is so. Really, if it weren’t so worrying, it would be impressive.

So here we go. Here I am, trying to look at my day through the eyes of The Donald:

Today was the BEST day. THE BEST. Everybody says so. I did not get enough sleep last night, and that was very unfair, very very unfair, but now… Look, it was the best day. We got great things done. Good things. Do you know the expression, ‘Friday feeling’? I mean, I just came up with it yesterday, so… But yeah, I had a ‘Friday feeling’ and it just meant that it was the best, most successful day.

Well.

I’m not sure that really worked. Now I just feel sort of dirty.

Maybe I’ll have a quick shower before bed…!

  7. Love this! I’ve been using that approach in my job search. When self doubt creeps in when I look through a job advertisement I think well Trump won the US Presidency so I can apply for this haha!

      1. Ugh. *CYLINDERS. I wish WordPress would let me edit my comments so I could stop worrying about whacking the ‘post comment’ button before checking for T9 ninja edits!

  11. I don’t ‘do’ politics and I don’t even live in your country so my apologies if this offends, but in my eyes anyone with a name like that just cannot be taken seriously. Love the caterpillar though 🙂

      1. Sorry, I remembered you’re Irish after I’d posted the comment but I read so many blogs I sometimes forget who’s who! 🙂

        I have Irish connections myself, my son’s dad came from Roscrea in Tipperary, and my son himself is actually there on holiday at the moment; I’m hoping to go over there myself soon 🙂

    1. Oh thank you! He is though. You can tell he just has framed photos of himself in the bathroom to inspire him while he’s brushing his teeth and telling himself he’s amazing every morning.

  16. I admit, I was slightly baffled when I saw the title. I barely know you (okay, I don’t know you, but through your writing, I am getting a sense of you) and I was worried that I had somehow misjudged you.
    Thankfully, my fleeting thoughts were all completely wrong. You made me laugh. Thank you.

  20. You know those popular ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ bracelets in the 90s? I feel like you could invent and market a ‘What Would Donald Trump Do?’ type of paraphernalia and make bank. But stretchy rubber bracelets aren’t ‘in’ currently, so it would have to be a choker or something.
    And don’t you hate adulting!? It’s so overrated.

    1. Ugh. A Donald Trump choker. There is just something horrible about that idea. Almost as bad as the idea of Donald Trump underwear! I see where you’re going with it though…

  23. The White House bugged:

    “Donald, Honey: You be the Pope and I’ll be a nun…”
    “…Hey, it’s working…it’s working!…”
    “…The Lord is my shepherd…”

  24. A Trump supporter:
    “I voted for Trump and that is Donald Trump because I know Jesus hates gays and I want a wall billed to keep out Syrians climbing over and raping my cows and if Trump is Pope he can do that and yes he will do it and did and his hair must have its own show as the Muppets and a Christian beliefs and that Muslims can go back into Mordor if in the the Bible it is written which not evolution did if Jesus made dinosaurs and finally Hallellular Hallylooler Halleyleyar said the Lord and Trump will bomb them until for peace to us all A men.”

  26. hot damn, it worked for me! I mean, it was almost biggly, even! But, just in case you still feel dirty, a hot shower and a couple of episodes of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ will make you feel clean again. I promise! I’m pretty self-assured some days.
