трампология: "мелани, отбери у него..."

[akor168]

У меня сложилась впечатление, что и сторонники и противники Трампа соглашаются по следующему вопросу. "Господи, кто-нибудь, отберите у него планшет и доступ в Твиттер".

А может кто рационально объяснить, почему-это плохо, что Трамп высказывает честно свое мнение на весь мир по горячим следам, и пока плюет на всех (не)доброжелателей, которые ему пытаются указать, что это некомильфо.

Я уже выкладывал у себ в журнале эту цитату - сейчас снова ее нашел:

In every human social interaction, there are two kinds of communication going on. There are the words themselves, with their shared meanings. And there are the countless signals and cues being exchanged — tone, expression, body language, and bearing — about social dynamics and hierarchy.

Every interaction is both an exchange of semantic information and a dance of social positioning, even those, as in science or academia, that strive to be purely the former.

To all appearances, Trump is engaged solely in the latter form of communication, and only in a narrow way: He treats all social interactions as zero-sum games establishing dominance and submission. In every interaction, someone is going to win and someone is going to lose, be with Trump or against him.

It’s not that Trump is saying things he believes to be false. It’s that he doesn’t seem to have beliefs at all, not in the way people typically talk about beliefs — as mental constructs stable across time and context. Rather, his opinions dissolve and coalesce fluidly, as he’s talking, like oil on shallow water. That’s why he gives every indication of conviction, even when, say, denying that he has said something that is still posted on his Twitter feed.

Moral philosopher Harry Frankfurt got at some of this in his celebrated book "On Bullshit". Bullshitters don’t lie, he said, so much as treat the truth as irrelevant, orthogonal to their purposes. But even Frankfurt’s bullshitters are, on some level, choosing to bracket considerations of truth value. That implies they are aware of such considerations; they know what they’re doing.

There’s no evidence that Trump is aware of them at all. He’s a bullshitter who doesn’t know he’s bullshitting, because he doesn’t know that there’s any other way to communicate.

Как мне представляется, эта гипотеза намного лучше объясняет содержание речей и твитов Трампа, чем любая другая.

К тому же самому выводу пришел и основной соперник Трампа на республиканских праймериз, Тед Круз:

CRUZ: I'm going to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying.

He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying. And it's simply a mindless yell. Whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen.

Donald Trump is such a narcissist that Barack Obama looks at him and goes, 'Dude, what's your problem?' Everything in Donald's world is about Donald. And he combines being a pathological liar, and I say pathological because I actually think Donald, if you hooked him up to a lie detector test, he could say one thing in the morning, one thing at noon and one thing in the evening, all contradictory and he's pass the lie detector test each time. Whatever lie he's telling, at that minute he believes it.

Исходя из этой теории тогда нет смысла даже обращать внимания на твиты Трампа. От слова совсем. А следствие уже из этого, что он может преспокойно продолжать тогда твитить, раз это не несет смысловой нагрузки по мнению его оппонентов.

Далеко не все сторонники Трампа разделяют эту теорию и согласны не обращать внимание на его речи и твиты. Далеко не все из них считают, что его обещания построить стену, депортировать всех нелегалов вместе с детьми, запретить мусульманам въезд в страну, отменить обамакер, начать повторное следствие в отношение Клинтон etc. были ничего не значащим сотрясением воздуха.

Ваш вопрос стоит переформулировать так: "что плохого в том, что президент США занимается в твиттере задорным троллингом своих оппонентов и возбуждает своих сторонников?" И ответ на этот вопрос, как мне представляется, содержится в самой формулировке.

Собственно вот он, ответ:

There's one more consequence to the rants, feuds, and conspiracy theories: They end up delegitimizing the media -- and the country's democracy. Think about it: Every time Trump claims, without substantiation, that millions voted illegally, and every time the news media call him out for it, that only delegitimizes the media among Trump's supporters. And then when the same media write and cover Trump's conflicts of interests (or policy proposals or anything else), those same supporters won't believe a word of it.
