I’m currently thirty minutes into a documentary about Greta
Thunberg, and one of the questions which has become uppermost in my mind is
this:
How can Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg both be members of the same species?
One sub-ordinary and the other super extraordinary; one deluded follower and one a visionary leader; one of achingly narrow perception and one who sees the world as it truly is. And both claiming descent from Adam.
Didn’t I read once that the chimpanzee has 98% of its DNA in common with the human? That might be true of Trump, although I suspect the figure might be higher in his case, but Thunberg? Therein lies the mystery.
