A big reason Homo Sapiens - you and me - exist is brachiation, the ability to swing your arms above your head, which allowed our ancestors to get off the ground and into trees, chop, chop. Without it, they’d have ended up as Funyuns for sabertooths. Orangutans, gibbons, siamangs and you and I do it. Fact: Trumpians are congenitally unable to brachiate. When you point this - or anything - out to them, they become agitated. Go ahead, ask ‘em to brachiate today and see what happens - no brachiation that’s for sure. But there’s even bigger news from the animal kingdom.
