Excerpt:
You can see this with Donald Trump. I don’t want to talk about him too much, but I think that’s part of what’s going on with him. If you insult virtually everybody, they're going to throw the shit back at you.
Sean Illing
Well, I’m not going to call the president an asshole here, but I will say that he’s checking all the asshole boxes you’ve set forth in this book.
Robert Sutton
Yeah, I won't call him one either, but I agree with your assessment.
Sean Illing
What’s the surest way for someone to recognize that they’re being an asshole? I assume that most of us are occasionally assholes but prefer not to be.
Robert Sutton
Absolutely. There's some evidence in the book about how few people will say that they're assholes compared to how many people will say they're oppressed by assholes. There's a huge disparity. The main thing this research on self-awareness says is that the worst person to ask about someone’s assholeness is the asshole himself, and the best people to ask are the people around him or her who know that person at least fairly well. Bottom line: Assholes need someone in their life to tell them they’re being an asshole.

Joe Scarborough Comes Up With Scathing New Way To Describe Donald Trump’s Legal Team
Joe Scarborough on Tuesday mocked President Donald Trump for having “a confederacy of dunces” defending him during his Senate impeachment trial over the Ukraine scandal.
Scarborough, who appeared to be channeling John Kennedy Toole’s novel with his swipe at the defense attorneys, called out the statements and arguments made by Alan Dershowitz, Pam Bondi and Ken Starr.
He reserved particular scorn for Starr’s complaint that we are now living in “the age of impeachment,” given his key role in the 1999 impeachment trial of then-President Bill Clinton.
If irony weren’t already dead and buried years ago, it was Ken Starr yesterday talking about how abuse of power is not sufficient to impeach a president, you need a crime. He literally dragged the corpse of irony out of the grave. He meticulously tied the corpse’s neck bone to the back of a tractor, and he ran that tractor throughout the graveyard of stupidity and ran over every headstone. Before once again kicking dirt on the corpse of irony again and putting its bones back into the ground one by one by one.
“These people lowered the collective IQ, not only of America, but of the Western world, by at least 24 points every hour they spoke on the Senate floor,” Scarborough concluded.
