On Motherfucker's Thanksgiving screed

15. Advertising his rage , fear, mental instability is right.

But TFG is just advertising his rage and fear and mental instability and misery - which he amply deserves.

But most of all, what he is advertising there is his malignant narcissism.

Everything is always "me, me, me, me, me" with him, because in his tiny mind, he is the center of the universe around which everything else revolves. He is incapable of viewing events through any other lens, because that's the only lens he has.

When you know that about him, his behavior becomes quite predictable. Everyone and everything is either for him or against him. Every criticism of him and every reaction to him short of lavish praise, is seen by him as a full frontal attack and returned in kind.

Maintaining his image of himself as a very rich, powerful, and accomplished man and basically the most remarkable person who has ever lived and who is incapable of doing anything anything remotely wrong is of paramount importance to him, and he is constantly ready to go into defensive mode at the slightest provocation.

There are 2 main tools that he uses to protect his gigantic but fragile ego: 1) defending himself and 2) attacking anyone or anything that challenges his insanely exaggerated view of himself. I'm sure it's a full time job that must take the vast majority of whatever mental energy he possesses. It's no wonder he doesn't have any capacity left for things like rational reasoning or critical thinking.

All of the criminal indictments and the court appearances during which he is required to keep his mouth shut and submit to the authority of a judge must be incredibly taxing for him. His niece Mary Trump has said she thonk he's going to crack at some point. I think she may be right, and I will be very interested to watch the fireworks when that happens!
