...the guy can’t talk about himself in anything but the most glowing terms. If it became the widely accepted and parroted talking point that he was just a way-below average conman he would lose it completely. It’s easy for us here to say it...he needs to hear it from his yes-people and supporters before it would sink in.

His self-image is manufactured out of a mountain of bullshit. His vanity is that frail and volatile. It's time the world called him out and tossed him out.

to the present day.

When Trump is gone, however that may be, who believes those millions of his followers are just going to give up and repent of their adoring him?

who will never admit that they voted for a 3rd rate reality tv host who had delusions of grandeur. He let them feel comfortable with their hatred of "other" and they love him for it.

He doesn't want to be a forgotten president and is incapable of being a decent or moral president which means he must be the worst president to be noted and remembered in history.

I really do. I think he fears becoming a nobody. He absolutely has to have attention.

Survival of our democracy depends on it.

I can only hope that the damage is not irreparable and that we can regain our relations with our international allies when he is gone.

He has always craved attention, like any narcissist, and not being in full control of things, not having his fans praise him, and not being able to make things happen "his way", will cause his melt down. That's why is is firing everyone around him that won't bow to him and kiss his ass.
