I always figured Trump's crazy man thing was mostly an act.

He knew the GOP base was nuts, and they'd like it. But once he got the nomination, he would start to act normal.

But now he's acting just as crazy as ever. Is he actually a crazy man? Well, yeah, he is, but is he actually a real crazy crazy man?

Google that, and then decide if you want a malignant narcissist in power.

They ruin lives and are incapable of empathy or understanding of a world outside of their own beliefs.

If you've experienced a narcissist personally like some of us, then you know why we are terrified.

I just thought, as a campaign strategy, he was going to "act normal" after he won the nomination, but he doesn't seem to be acting normal at this point. It's good news, in a way, because if he keeps this up he's going to have big problems.
