hubris

Hubris was the engine of De León’s 18-year political career.

"Our common history also has dark parts. The time came for unequal treaties, when hubris and the mechanical force of European countries imposed themselves around the world, and when, even disguised as a protectorate, Morocco did not escape the ambitions and the violence of colonial history," he said.

Perhaps it was hubris that allowed the Trump campaign to insult voters with just days to go in the race.

Hubris is the defensive arrogance designed to eclipse, disavow and compensate for any perceived “feminine” weakness.

Empowered by his own hubris, Trump builds and borrows and beds with impunity — all with a freewheeling sense of gleeful combativeness.
