Needs To Be Institutionalized

Dan Froomkin asks the press to remove its head from its collective ass. He's asked before, so don't hold your breath.

Despite the mainstream media’s insistence on sanewashing Trump – by writing about his “unfiltered, improvisational style” or describing him as “a self-indulgent political leader who trusts his own instincts” – he is, in fact, not sane.

Call it what you will – narcissism, solipsism, sociopathy, hedonism, paranoia, dementia – the evidence overwhelmingly shows that Trump cares about only one thing: Trump.

Nothing else.

His only motivation – regardless of the reasons he or his lickspittles cite – is self-aggrandizement. His only goal is to make himself feel powerful.

The emptiest of vessels, who can never be filled.
