    I’m always a fan of torturing a metaphor so yeah, exactly :)

    It’s been going on for ages but at this point I don’t really blame the scorpion anymore. I certainly don’t blame the hornets wearing t-shirts, I mean, I don’t like them and I will try to exterminate them but not by trying to starve them out with scorpion overpopulation.

      As far as not blaming the scorpion, when you look at it from his perspective Trump is one of the most “successful” people on the planet according to the metrics that matter to him. His shitty behavior is rewarded and reinforced over and over again. Ugh.
