It is truly eye-opening how trump fits most if not all of the variations of grandiose and malignant narcissism and sociopathic behaviors.
That said, even though it's not our job, or the job of government colleagues & the press to treat him as the diseased person he is, we may have had much better outcomes if we had.
To me, the biggest failure was to not get him to buy in to the idea that wearing a mask was the right thing to do. Prefacing with "SO many people look up to you! They listen to you as their leader!!..." could have actually saved many lives.
So what do we want now, what's left to salvage? More testing. How do we do that, through the lens of treating him as a narcissist rather than a well-adjusted human being?
