I’m tired of analogical theories of Trump. Marginal value of new analogies is now almost 0. We need a good first-principles theory that you could build an AI with for example. Maybe as a very small script. Lemme get the ball rolling. void trump() { printf(“fuckyou world”); }

epsilon-trump is a person campaigning with the single sentence "I'm going to ruin everyone in Washington's day." over and over and then fulfilling that promise. Everything else is gravy.

Fucking the world is merely a side effect. The orange wonder has been looking for a simple external metric (a.k.a. rating) to match its inner conviction of greatness. When money, women, and TV failed to deliver, political theater came to the rescue.
