Jane Goodall Says Donald Trump’s Behavior Reminds Her of A Male Chimpanzee

Well, this election really has been B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

We know that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump can be a little flamboyant when he gives speeches.

In fact, according to MarketWatch, Trump said he thinks he gets enough exercise by making hand gestures at campaign speeches.

Primatologist Jane Goodall has also taken note of Trump’s expressive way of talking.

That means she really knows her stuff.

In an interview with The Atlantic, Goodall said that “In many ways, the performances of Donald Trump remind (her) of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals.”

"In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks," she said. "The more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position."

Goodall also told The Atlantic that, during the upcoming debates — the first of which will be held Monday, Sept. 26 — she will be thinking of Mike, a chimpanzee she studied.

Mike was a "chimp who maintained his dominance by kicking a series of kerosene cans ahead of him as he moved down a road, creating confusion and noise that made his rivals flee and cower," according to The Atlantic.

Trump and yet to comment or tweet about Goodall's primate comparison.
