Compulsively seeking the approval of those he considers his betters, how low is his self esteem?

He so desperately wants to be accepted.

If it weren’t for all the criming, mendacity, moral turpitude, and lying, one could almost feel sorry for Donald Trump. One probably does. The rest of us, nah

However, the President still admitted that Woodward “is somebody that I respect.”

To bad the actions of mr trump does not allow the respect to go both ways.

Wow, this is pathetic. Go to “the authorities,” that is, not the pretend president.

There is no filling the void that is his soul.
He and his enablers are going to flog that idea that it was Woodward’s job to out the administration’s lies on Covid. What about Pence? He knew. What about Fauci? He knew. What about…and bear with me here…the f-ing President? (I just heard a clip of him on the news saying “we did the job like nobody”. Yes, yes he did.)

“If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after I said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let them know,”

“The authorities.” Heh.

This quote is proof that Donald Trump is not only a lifetime beneficiary of Affirmative Action For Incompetent Entitled White Men (see, Dan Quayle on Daniel Manion), but is entirely dependent on the operation of this Affirmative Action in the Media and in every job he has held in his life. Especially his current job.

Trump thinks that because he was on a reality TV show that his voice and words are golden and mesmerizing. He thought he could con Woodward.
This is the same reason he wants to have more debates with Biden: he thinks he’ll be able to mesmerize the entire audience and make Biden look bad.
Instead, he’ll have his head handed to him on a platter. He doesn’t understand that everything before was rigged for him. He’s never written a book; it was ghostwriters. The TV show was written by scriptwriters. When he’s on his own, non-cult members can all see how stupid and mean he is.

Donald Trump has an attraction to the media that few of us can understand. He’s drawn to it like a “moth to a flame”. It seems to be his major psychic support and his only real source of enjoyment.
