Trump’s deep nature

To our surprise, we watched the entire impeachment hearing involving Marie Yovanovitch, the deposed U.S. Ambassadress of Ukraine. I guess, the entire show was simply mesmerizing to us.

Of course, Trump couldn’t resist twitting disparaging comments about her, right in the middle of her deposition, which came down to shoot himself in the foot.

This reminded me of the Russian tale of the frog and the scorpion, in which – you guessed it – Donald Trump is the scorpion:

A scorpion, that can’t swim, asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung by the scorpion, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. 

The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion, but midway across the river the scorpion stings the frog, dooming them both. 

The dying frog asks the scorpion why it had acted in this manner, to which the scorpion replies: "It's in my nature, I couldn't help it."
