You can’t get to the top step without the ones before it.

Trump has a hard time acknowledging gradual growth.

He doesn’t seem to understand the simple reality that each time you look at a growing plant, it is the highest it has ever been. The previous growth got it to where it is.

The tree outside my apartment’s living room window may be big, but I would be an idiot if upon seeing it for the first time I believed that it became that big instantly. For the previous tenants, when they moved out, it was the biggest it had ever been.

It’s bigger now.

Trump has notoriously ignored looking at history, so when he notices something for the first time, he really has no knowledge of the steps of the thing before he noticed.

It is what I like to call “the Kale Effect”.

I live in a city that has a large Portuguese community whether they are new immigrants from, or descendants of immigrants from Portugal itself, the Azores, or the Cape Verde Islands. It is a city where a restaurant is rated by how good its kale soup is, and anyone who makes it and serves it to you will boast that theirs is the best. They will tell you they got the recipe from some long dead ancestor. Kale has been around, and to the Portuguese it is a staple. So when people “discover” kale, and act like it is something new to everyone because it is new to them, they are like that person who, once discovering something they had not experience before, talk about it as if no one had discovered that thing before they had while we exercise a charitable patience toward their naivete.

Ignoring history, Trump claims the top step of any growth as solely his doing as if it was instant and not a further step.

Trump is:

The last person in a bucket brigade line who, after pouring a bucket of water on the flame, claims he is responsible for putting the fire out while ignoring that it was everyone in line ahead of him doing their part that got the bucket to him.

The last runner on a relay team who, after crossing the finish line, claims he won the race while ignoring he got the baton in time to be the first across the line because all the other members of the team who preceded him had run their legs of the race effectively.

The person getting on the elevator on the fifth floor who, after pressing a button, tells all those already on the elevator and who are obviously waiting to ascend further as shown by the buttons above the number five on the panel being already lit, that he is the reason they are going to the upper floors.

The person who enters the theater and takes his seat after intermission and thinks the play is just beginning.
