Trump couldn’t get out of bed in the morning without the support of an army of sycophants and worshippers. It’s why he tweets at 3 am. He needs minute by minute affirmation that he is relevant, each like, no matter who it comes from is a shot of endorphins right to his withered, worm eaten heart.

His locus is so external that the deep space probes haven’t encountered it yet.

If the cabal surrounding him unifies and tells him to do something, and they’ll be pleased, he wastes no time in doing it, just for the endorphin rush. He doesn’t need the world to love him, just the people who he comes in contact with. If he can’t see them, they must be both irrelevant and beneath contempt. It’s why he’s so quick to disown anyone who deigns to disagree with him, and why he so readily accepts them back into the fold if they make the tiniest of positive overtures.

Narcissistic Sociopaths are like that.

Yes they are Wayne and very well said. If I might add (I'm writing a new post and this little gem is expressed in it... "he's a corrupt, egotistical, megalomaniac, divisive authoritarian. A narcissist, misogynist, islamophobe, homophobe, transphobe, racist, xenophobe, demagogue, grifter, conspiracy theorist, and pathological liar who was twice impeached, found liable for sexual assault, and convicted of 34 felonies..."

We think alike. Thanks for your comment and support!

If you lied about this, what else in this did you lie about? Was Trump "convicted beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of sexual assault in a criminal trial in New York"?

ANSWER: "No, Donald Trump was not convicted "beyond a reasonable doubt" by a jury in a criminal trial for sexual assault. The cases involving E. Jean Carroll were civil lawsuits, not criminal prosecutions."

You're a lawyer, yet conflate criminal and civil? Why?
