Decompressing

Trump is a malignant narcissist.  That's his defining personality trait. His father was a very successful builder who was emotionally distant from him children, but nevertheless funnelled millions of dollars to Donald illegally. Donald's "narcissistic wound" is the gap between his perception of himself - his father's rightful heir - and the secret knowledge that he is NOT a successful builder or businessman.  His quest for celebrity is his single-minded pursuit to erase this contradiction between his perception of himself and the reality of his failed businesses and lost billions.

As a celebrity in NYC, he was able to bully his way past obstacles. He had a phalanx of lawyers and Michael Cohen types who would take care of any obstacles for him.  He's the quintessential spoiled rich shit, for whom braggadocio subs for accomplishment.

Watching this video, how can we not see that Trump is decompressing before our eyes? The juvenile parade today, the fawning for autocrats, the increasingly out of touch tweets...the presidency is not an office in which you can escape the reality of your situation. Reality will force itself into your consciousness. 

Trump could very well become increasingly erratic as the various realities intrude upon his narcissistic self-image.  As defeats pile up and the economy softens, what will happen to the Toddler King? (We also have Pence's unexplained return from NH, which could mean anything.)

Trump lacks the physical stamina, emotional maturity or intellectual acumen to be president, or really even a decent human being.  We could be watching him fall apart over the next few months.
