Where is that Darn Button?

According to certain informed sources, Republican Party soldiers believe they can arrange a meeting with Donald Trump and "reset" the presidential nominee's campaign. How they hope to accomplish this is not clear. The Donald has convinced the world that he doesn't like being told what to do and would likely not respond to an attempt at political arm-twisting. Beyond memorizing some basic data needed to get him through the debates, Trump will continue on his own chosen path, acting out, dodging questions about policy, playing for the adulation of his followers and anyone else who needs to be entertained. The party hacks who want to reset Donald Trump will not succeed. To do so they would have to erase the past Trumpian behavior that has amused and outraged so much of the public.  They will find out that history matters, even for the American people. He who believes otherwise is  as delusional as Trump himself.

You Look Marvelous

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration and a lack of understanding of others' feelings . People  afflicted with NPD typically value themselves over others to the extent that they disregard the feelings and wishes of others and expect to be treated as superior regardless of their actual status or achievements. People with NPD may exhibit fragile egos, an inability to tolerate criticism, and a tendency to belittle others in an attempt to validate their own superiority . Sound familiar?  Aside from single-handedly destroying the Republican Party, Donald Trump should be thanked by the nation for holding a mirror to the dark area of American culture, its obsessive cult of personality and its dangerous acceptance of hypocrisy.
