    I think that is why Trump likes live rallies so much. He gets to bask in applause and praise. It's the one-on-one where he lets his ego get the better of him, firing anyone who dares go against him, or attacking them as disloyal, etc.

He said he's used to telling people to do something and not needing to make a deal to get them to do it.
      I don't think Trump ever figured this out. It seems his expectation was that when he won, Congress would fall in line and say, "What now, boss?" And then he kept appointing people who ended up stabbing him in the back.

        Yup - It's like he took Obama's "elections have consequences" and figured everybody would fall down before him as the newly elected king or something.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          There are different levels of narcissism, and types of narcissism. The worst are the malignant narcissists, and are often the type you see portrayed in media. Here is a video about some of the types of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.



          I've learned a lot from that channel, but they do have a noticeable slant to the left.

                I learned that I'm definitely not a narcissist. I'm far too introverted and get nervous when others compliment me.

Trump is basically a Republican version of Obama without a filter. Still, he's more up front about it, and doesn't hide it. I don't like either, but at least with one you know where they stand on any given issue.

                    It was clear from the start that he thought of himself as the CEO of the government, and especially of all of the Executive Branch and all Republicans. The whole reality of "division of power" and "checks and balances" never sunk in. And of course, that doesn't even consider the Deep Swamp State.

                      Trump never seemed to put any effort into understanding the system. He just wished he could order things to happen. I'd say that if you were to ask him today how a law gets made there's only a 50/50 chance he'd be able to tell you what branches of government it has to go through.

                        A gang of one it seems. He is not corrupt because he’s leftist. Notice how the leftist government cleaned up the mess very quickly.

                        Right wing governments get in line with THEIR corrupt leaders and put their hands out.
