I think it was you who linked to a Vanity Fair article about Trump and the diagnosis many psychiatrists who have never met him are prepared to give on his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In line with that, Donald only regrets that we who are tuned in to the ongoing melodrama that is his campaign fail to understand what a genuinely nice guy he is. We fail at his expectation that others will recognize his superiority
Donaldās a teetotaler because an older brother died at 42 of alcoholism and his brotherās suffering scared him off liquor. But if he had a pop every so often he might enjoy himself more and leave the rest of alone.
Yep, that Vanity Fair piece was my link. Graydon Carter has been, shall we say, expressing his reservations about Trump since the Spy Magazine days in the Eighties. And no, Trump does not embrace criticism as a path to self-improvement, since he thinks his self is pretty much perfect the way it is. In the meantime the Overton window slides crazyward. A couple of months ago a Pennsylvania legislature committee on voting had some God-damn white nationalist nutbag in as a consultant and it got into the media. I wrote and asked my Rethug state rep what they thought they were doing with that. No answer. Iāll see his opponent hears about that at the very least.
Trump only wants us to be angry with Muslims, Mexicans and ugly women. As white male racists are a big percentage of his supporters, he wants us to be considerate of their feelings.
āPlease give white supremacists a benefit of a doubt. I certainly plan to welcome them with open arms in all my casinos land even comp their drinks.ā
Donāt be angry? Is Trump for real? I wish the media would just stop giving this demagogue the time of day Heās not presidential in any way much less acts like a decent human being. He encourages the worst sorts of behavior in the most unstable of people. We are supposed to tolerate this?
