Having finished Mary Trump's book?

Never give him attention. No ratings. Turn off the TV.

ONLY pay attention to online reviews of it.


When we watch - he wins. He gets our attention. Then he gets ratings. Then he does it again. More lies. More grandiose bravado. Then he gets ratings - then he does it again.

A narcissist hates it when they are not the center of attention. For some time now he has been in the news everyday, for one stupid act or another. Starting the briefing up again simply lets him have the attention he craves "every single day"!

The only good thing would be that the public gets exposed to his "insanity", and it might, maybe, get some of his supporters to see the fact his is NOT fit to be president. His diehard cult followers will never stop supporting him, but others might.

They have the same co-morbidities he does.

I think a lot of them (his die hard fans) know it's wrong - but don't care. They too have that upbringing/background were bravado, lying, bragging, inflicting pain on others is a winning killer instinct.

If they didn't drop him two summers ago - which is when a lot of people in the NJ 7th got on the "I'm not longer a GOP train" they are still with him.

Think about it - either these people are just like him, racists, sadists. You can't change that - it's integral to who they are.
