(9,696 posts)2. "All this time trying to analyze Trump...wasted time."
I agree, and like you, I've had experience with this personality disorder that is trumpt. So I actually don't waste a lot of time hating him or reacting to him. But for the people who don't understand what he is, it's a whole new frontier for them. In a way I can envy them, but at the same time I see their learning curve.
And I agree the pundits and citizens give to much space to "oh, look what he did, what he said, what he tweeted." None of that is important, what's important is rule of law, and how or democracy is at a tipping point. Focus on that, the rest is a distraction.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
