Why Breitbart? --EGO: If you love him and say wonderful things about him then he loves you back.

1. I think this is why he's so dangerous

It's in our nature to respond positively to adoration but most of us have enough self awareness that we aren't as great as they say we are. We know the person we present to the public is not our true self. Because none of us reveal all of ourselves to everyone in all situations we understand our presentation to the world is skewed because we only share what results in a gain for ourselves. Trump had it backwards, he presents his phoney self to the world and when people validate that he believes it must be true. So trump is easily manipulated when people tell him he's really great, smart, handsome.
I always go back to when Marla maples proclaimed to the world the best sex she ever had was with trump. She was still trying to marry him. He was so lacking in self awareness he had to marry her, not because she was pregnant but because he had irrefutable proof to the world he was the best because someone told him he was. If no one told him he was smart or the best or richest, what would he know about who he is?
And if your only truth you know about yourself is when other people validate your phoney self, they can talk you into anything.
