so he does everything possible to sugar coat and deflect from a loss. In other words, narcissists of his type know they've lost but create a massive shit storm afterward, thereby building an alternate reality so that no one thinks he lost.

We all know that a well balanced human accepts losses, admits to them, learns from them and moves on. Trump never had to learn that normal process in his youth. I often wonder if he was conditioned to be this way by Fred.

Having one through life in the school of hard knocks in a country environment, it's hard to even contemplate people of this nature. I assume they are also prone to attract others of that same type.
