"At his core, under all the pomp and bluster, Trump is insecure and fearful. He craves respect and legitimacy. Unable to obtain it on merit, he falsified narratives. He began this many decades ago, before politics. He lied about his inheritance, grades, skill, wealth and acuity.
"He inflated his wealth and deflated his inheritance to put forth
an exaggerated perception of his business prowess. This was his original
Big Lie. He created a contrived image that became a House of Cards, and
as it crumbled, it was rescued by Mark Burnett (creator of The Apprentice) and by Russia.
"The events of this past week cut him deeply, as it attacked his
essence — his wealth — his mystique. He was a narcissist and sociopath
since he was young, but he's more 'owned' by his dysfunctions now than
ever before. The NYAG case undermined it, a narcissist's nightmare.
"Yesterday, he got booed at the Sneaker Con event. We would see and
hear him booed more often if every single event, rally and appearance
wasn't rigged and staffed and secured against it. We won't see many
impromptu appearances going forward, and my guess is he'll never debate.
"I'm frequently asked about narcissistic collapse. There's still
time before that — sorry. But he cannot stop campaigning, and when he
does, he cannot stop confessing and projecting. I'll be watching how
often he speaks to two things: his wealth/success, and his cognition.
"PS:I expect we'll see him sweat and sniff and sundown more. And repeat
nonsensical narratives, like magnets and whales. But I'll look for
signs of real fear, as he puts forth bluster and defiance: His wealth.
His cognition. And how he processes immunity being denied by SCOTUS."
