Vanity Fair has a thought provoking article on Trump, his narcissism, and his supporters. The concluding paragraph has this nugget from developmental psychologist Howard Gardner, “For me, the compelling question is the psychological state of his supporters. They are unable or unwilling to make a connection between the challenges faced by any president and the knowledge and behavior of Donald Trump. In a democracy, that is disastrous.”

Uh, yeah. His supporters like his rhetoric. They're not looking for substance.

I agree. He is a walking, talking definition of narcissism. I am totally baffled by his supporters blindness to this, much like many of Obama's supporters to his record last election.

I think you could substitute Carson for Trump in that second to last sentence and it would be an equally valid observation. Basically, the two GOP front-runners are inexperienced narcissists, but that doesn't seem to bother their respective supporters.

That's like saying being punched is better than being kicked; both are still bad in the end.

The Art of the Deal.. Basically he's trying to sell himself and it's working. Plus, he's a true leader who actually loves America and wants the best for our country.

picked up and browsed a copy of Trump's book yesterday (Cripple America) ----all it seemed to be was his stump speeches glorifying himself and spewing negativity about our country......total waste of paper to produce that trash.
