They are incapable of complex reasoning.
They are emotional cavemen.
2/
Their lives are empty, contrived caricatures of what they think others will approve of and admire.
They’re broken child-actors.
3/
He’s an actor addicted to the reviews but who gets panned after every performance.

Again, back to the caveman bit, Trump is incapable of any of that.
5/
Whenever he feels the weight of his own failure, he pulls out a combo of those three clubs and beats on someone.
Sometimes the media. Sometimes someone around him.

It only briefly calms when they’ve turned over the entire cast - because they briefly think the new cast buys the shtick.
The narc I know well went through it every two years. I could set my watch to it. Entire circle burned to the ground and replaced...
...but he will leave a few people who merely hide their disdain and put on a better act.
...and within weeks, we will be hearing rumblings of the next purge wave coming.
Trump is a destroyer of his own circle.
Trump is a toddler gorilla utterly compelled to fling his own feces on everyone around him.
Thus it is. Thus it will be.
This is a cycle. It will repeat and repeat. Today’s appointees will be next month’s casualties.
There will be nothing more than build-and-burn loops.
Now it will be Pompeo and newbies.
This cast won’t last. No one will ever last.
Narcissists burn down their own houses. No one lasts.
This is the cycle of narcissism.
It’s a rollercoaster. Watch with detachment. After all the hills and drops, a month from now, Trump’s dysfunction will be right where it is today.
No better. No worse.
Don’t get blown about by every breeze.
Today has been windy but we shall not topple.
Stay strong, stay centered.
This too shall pass. We shall make it so.

I know the diff btwn “there” and “their”, I swear.
