The following is a response to two words in the headline above. It is not an analysis of the article.
About Him
Every newborn begins life thinking it is the center of the universe. That is natural, given that we all encounter otherness through our senses and slowly integrate those alien encounters into our developing image of the world.
For most people, the inward flow of sensations from outside of the self elicits a reciprocal flow of affinity from within the self toward the otherness. As we become aware of the world around us and develop meaningful relationships with what we encounter, most of us reject the infantile, center-of-the-universe model of reality and see ourselves as part of a greater whole.
Narcissists, in contrast, cling to the infantile, center-of-the-universe world view and function as emotional black holes. Their interactions with the external world become transactional, one-directional efforts designed to force otherness into submitting to and supporting the frightened infant at the center of the universe.
Donald Trump has shown himself to be precisely such a frightened child. This is what makes him unfit to occupy the Oval Office. This is what should motivate every thinking voter to deny him reelection in November and to vote against those who have used his need for fawning approval to stack the courts, to amass personal power and wealth, and to undermine the rule of law.
