Despite his arrant stupidity & malignant social hatreds, many say they admire Donald Trump for blunt-speaking. It’s so easy to be blunt-spoken when you can’t get fired or socially ostracized as a result.

But there’s a catch with being forthright. Sometimes it expresses an independent spirit that won’t be cowed. But often it expresses an antisocial spirit that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about other people. The latter is the kind Trump has.

There’s nothing admirable about his frankness; it’s just the arrogance supremacists of all sorts nurture–which makes him contemptible.
