WaPo: There is something very wrong with Donald Trump

[unblock]

6. he's out of his depth, outside his thousandaire bubble

he has surrounded himself with sycophants and an image of himself he has come to believe.

he's the best, he's a winner, he's incredibly rich, he's got the midas touch, and he had this tv show where people clawed all over each other trying desperately to win his approval and get the chance to work for him.

in his world, he has, for the bulk of his life, been treated as the closest thing to a god we have.


but in the world of politics, suddenly people are calling him on lies! they're not constantly sucking up to him! they're challenging him! and even insulting him! how dare they!

he simply can't process this, he doesn't have the background to handle anything other than grovelling yesmen. the only way he knows how to handle people who don't treat him regally is to fire them. but he can't do that now, so he reverts to playground taunts, which was probably the last time he felt anyone seriously questioned his exalted status in this world.
