Trump’s “not into popularity”
by digby
Oh my dear God, he is so delusional:
I think the bragging is the thing I hate more than anything about him. Having to watch this grandiose madman pull a “Mooch” every single day is akin to pulling out my fingernails over and over again.
I realize that some of this is my problem. I’m temperamentally not very comfortable with the kind self-promotion that seems to be in vogue these days. But Trump is something different. He proclaims himself a genius,says he knows more than the experts in every field, brags about not reading because he already knows everything, says he can assault women with impunity, claims to be hugely popular when he’s clearly not and on and on and on. At this point he’s just telling his personality cult, “you can believe me or you can believe your eyes” and I find it so disturbing that it makes me feel a little bit crazy.
Maybe that’s the point. He’s challenging reality on all fronts in order that people like me will simply crawl off into a corner and spend our days counting the individual hairs on the cat. I’m almost there …
