(14,644 posts)in prison, it does provoke some compassion watching his pride being assailed on all sides as his world folds in around him.
I had a counseling professor in grad school who told us that people who have personality disorders (and I believe it is well established that Trump has narcissistic personality disorder) have what she called 'bent frames.' They cannot be cured, but there is some hope through medication.
Trump is on a long and painful slide to obscurity and eventual imprisonment, if he lives that long due to poor health. No adderoll, no one to clean up after accidents, no real significance except the basic significance we all share as human beings.
He has made poor choices his whole life, and my hope is that he may learn the spirit lessons he needs to learn from the suffering he is enduring now and will endure throughout the rest of his life. The Buddhists tell us that patiently enduring such suffering with the question, "What can I learn from this?" is the way we can incinerate our defilements. That is such a nice term.
The problem is he is so utterly defiled he may take many lifetimes to cleanse the stains on his spirit.
But, it will be good for the rest of us when he is finally convicted and jailed, because compassion aside, the man in very, very dangerous.
