Wow. David Frum's tweets this morning on Trump's lying and narcissism [View all]

[highplainsdem]

This started with tweets about the new poll showing a majority of Republicans falsely believe Trump won the popular vote, a fantasy Trump encouraged with his tweeting about Clinton supposedly getting millions of illegal votes.

Trump’s lying about the popular vote has dangerous real-world consequences


1) Trump, a textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, will believe the lies he tells, after he tells them http://samvak.tripod.com/journal75.html


2) Meaning that Trump will live among ego-salving fantasies - a dangerous location for a president of the United States


3) Worse, Trump will surround himself by people who repeat his lies back to him: either a) abject creatives or b) sinister manipulators


4) Worse still: because the conservative media amplify Trump’s lies, the whole conservative world will lose touch with reality


5) Encouraging true believers - and compelling even pragmatists - to act en masse as if the lies were truth.


6) Among other negative consequences, this will encourage reckless political risk-taking by Republicans in Congress


7) It remains true that Republican candidates for president have won the national popular vote only once since 1988: 1 in 7 elections!


8) The party’s agenda is not popular in real-life. That would seem to suggest … caution.


9) Instead, it seems congressional Republicans are about to plunge ahead as if the country were clamoring for their program.

10) Some congressional Republicans surely know this not to be true. They dare not act on that knowledge


11) In 1965, 1981, 2009, new presidents changed national direction with clear democratic consent.


12) 2017 bids to be as activist as those prior years - but without the clear consent. How will that end? Not well, I fear.


BTW if you haven’t yet familiarized yourself with the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, you should http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/basics/definition/con-20025568 …

I can't help thinking that Frum has written this to reach the more concerned Republican electors in the Electoral College.

This makes the case that Trump is bad for the Republican Party, explaining how Trump will lead them down the wrong path.

And it sandwiches that argument in between two websites about narcissistic personality disorder. Which Trump so clearly exemplifies, and which is the basis of the argument that he's mentally unfit.
