Column: Donald Trump, our narcissist in chief, wants us to thank him for discovering Juneteenth?
How narcissistic is Donald Trump?
Let's consider just the last week.
On Wednesday, he took credit for making "Juneteenth very famous," insisting that prior to the insensitive scheduling of his Tulsa reelection rally on the day Americans celebrate the end of slavery, "nobody had ever heard of it." (The mind reels.)
Trump also dismissed the warnings of health officials that holding his Tulsa rally in an enclosed arena while the coronavirus pandemic still rages potentially imperiled the health of thousands of his supporters. “It’s a very small percentage” of rally attendees who are likely to get sick, he said.
And he claimed that some of the people who wear masks to help curb the spread of COVID-19, which has killed 120,000 Americans and counting, are only doing so to signal their disapproval of him. (Face masks can substantially reduce the risk of transmission, scientists say.)
All those examples were from a single interview Trump gave to the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, but they weren't the end of his narcissistic displays.
