His unshakable belief in his superiority in every area protects his eggshell ego. The more threatened, the more he will cling to his fantasy of superiority, and the more he will resist efforts to "control him" ... He will increasingly go in the opposite direction of anyone who challenges him (i.e., any half-way sane person who advises against his destructive impulses).
Our peril is becoming more and more grave as his decompensates.
A prolonged shutdown will upend the lives of far too many, but I fear the shutdown may be the least of our worries.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
