"The pathos is that hes a little boy. Hes a little boy who is desperate for love, a particular kind of love. He never got it. Hes not getting it now, and hes in a blend of rage and depression."
...
"...and he, as Ive 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 hes 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 Trumps interested in winning and has no deep ideological beliefs.

(28,117 posts)3. Does Trump care for his supporters?
Reid finally asks Schwartz one last question: does Donald Trump care for his supporters?
He isnt capable of caring for anyone. Thats 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 isnt 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.
