Many people think that Donald Trump is a sociopath. I believe him to be a malignant narcissist. It really does not matter which of these definitions fits him better. The whole world knows that he is a loser. Donald knows he is a loser even though he will not say it out loud.

Trump cannot admit to being what he is: a human garbage pile of festering nonsense. He will not leave the White House quietly. He will not be graceful. He will leave kicking and screaming like the old man baby that he is. His cult will not disband after his term ends, nor will they suddenly wake up to reality when he passes into death. We need to help that process along. By that I mean we need to help deprogram the cult.

Donald Trump does not have a relationship with reality. He is pathologically incapable of changing this fact. Many of his defenders seem to be in the same predicament to one degree or another. Donald Trump is a cult of nonsense.
