Trump's ghost-writer: "he is insecure, self-centered, desperate for love, has no political loyalty"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/24/1586414/-Trump-s-ghostwriter-breaks-down-what-is-happening-to-Trump-He-s-a-little-boy-desperate-for-love

"The connection between his self worth and his financial worth has been inextricable since he was 22 years old..."

...

"The pathos is that he’s a little boy. He’s a little boy who is desperate for love, a particular kind of love. He never got it. He’s not getting it now, and he’s in a blend of rage and depression."

...

"...and he, as I’ve said many times, has an incredibly short attention span, and he never reads those speeches in advance, and as a result he is discovering them. “Oh my gosh,” and then he gets distracted from them because all of that sense of inadequacy is rising up as he’s reading and he has to move to that."

...

Schwartz goes on to say if Trump could be guaranteed a victory if he took far left positions, he would do it without a second thought. In the end Schwartz believes Trump’s interested in winning and has no deep ideological beliefs.

Reid finally asks Schwartz one last question: does Donald Trump care for his supporters?

He isn’t capable of caring for anyone. That’s the heart of the problem. He is so needy himself, that he needs to spend all of his energy on filling himself up and there is simply, Joy, there is simply isn’t any left to give to other people.




He is so needy that there's nothing left to give to anyone. That's the essence and root narcissism and is the result of horrible parenting.
