to know, even deep down, that he's "illegitimate" or that "his merit is illusory." I sincerely doubt it's occurred to hm since his teens that there's ever even the slightest flaw in his thought processes. If it ever has, he's quickly dismissed it.

...he is so defensive and so hellbent on avenging every slight, no matter how miniscule. If he were as strong and accomplished as he likes to say he is, he would be able to laugh off most criticisms.

He learned when quite young that he gets better results from mockery than from throwing a bratty-child fit. But each of those defensive laughs leaves an emotiona/mental scar because there is that grain of sand in his mind that not only knows it's defensive, but what it's defendng him from: the memories and he's buried and lessons he hasn't from the upbringing that made him the man-child he is.

From his visible pathologies he obviously had his maturation stunted in various ways at various time in his childhood.

In some ways he is a needy toddler. In other ways he is a horny teenager. He is a schoolyard bully who never got the punch in the nose he richly deserved in his pre-teen years. All still extant in a 79 year old.

There is no maturity there. None.

He has all thè pieces/parts anyone needs to sustain his own life. But, I get what you mean. He's bereft of so much that most of us take for granted in ourselves and others: the capacity for love and compassion, a reasonable sense of justice and fairness (the dude can't even play golf fairly), et cetera. So it seems like he's incomplete because he's missing those qualities, but he just never learned them because when you have more money than god, the rules and mores for the rest of us don't apply to you.

No matter how horrible a description of him is, it still doesn’t seem to be horrible enough.

" We Warned You... We Were Telling Everyone What Was Going to Happen... Project 2025 was real and a plan to implement it, if Trump won"...

Now, in 2025, Everything they said came true, and they can say " We Told You SO!!"

Nobody listened and ignored the warnings... Didn't vote, or voted for Trump because of the scary Black lady, or didn't believe Project 2025 was real...so now we are here... right where they warned us, we would be...

what's next?

Depression?
Mass Unemployment?
Loss on Medical Insurance due to High Cost?
Loss of SSI? Medicare?
Food unattainable to in parts of the country?
Farmers going bankrupted.... crops rotting in the fields?
Banks Failing?
Housing becomes unaffordable to vast number of people.
Homelessness becomes both a raising problem and be made criminal in some states?

The amount of damage that has and will be done before this nightmare ends, is vast.
it's going to be a bumpy ride, so buckle up and hold on!!!
