For Trump-there's only 1 victim: himself -He fears political defeat more than the deaths of millions



.................

When he wasn’t congratulating himself or accepting the thanks of the Suck-Ass Chorus, Trump was on Twitter lamenting the slings and arrows he suffers daily from his “nasty” enemies in the “media.” “The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to MY election success,” he tweeted. “The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!”

Someone in the White House press corps should have asked Trump about the “real people” in overcrowded hospitals in New York, in understaffed clinics in New Orleans, in panicked waiting rooms in Detroit, and lying on soaked sheets in their own bedrooms in every state in the union. They aren’t lining up to go back to work. They’re dying in numbers that are doubling every 24 hours.

Where only he is real, and only what he wants is real.

The rest of the world, the things in it, the people in it, aren't real.

The most important thing to him is the script he wrote years ago inside his head, and the script for the supporting actors. That's you and me.

He is fighting a mighty battle against those who oppose him, and stand in his way to total domination.

Trump's mind. A dark and insane place.

Google 'Megalomania' and 'Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) ' for more details.

I think more than ego, his fixation on re-election may be based on the various investigations that will be beyond the statute of limitations only if he serves a second term. Whether that means jail or serious financial consequences.
