5. The more I think about it.....

trump may not be the egomaniac we think he is, but a small little man with a poor self-image and no confidence, that is trying to make up for it with bluster and fake bravado.

Hear me out a minute! He's definitely not comfortable in his own body. He tries to hide his lack of hair, lack of a tan, and lack of a svelte body. He knows how he looks, and he hates it. I doubt his wife is an ego-booster.

He knows he will never measure up to the likes of Presidents Biden, Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, or even FDR. He is not beloved. People hate him. He has no respect for the MAGAts that do love him. He has to try to tear those presidents down to his level, re-write history, and build monuments to himself because history will not remember him kindly.

His perceived Enemies List are people that most folks admire. He hates that. I don't put Comey in that category. I think the main reason he hates Comey is because the man is 7 ft tall, and trump had to look up at him! I don't know why he doesn't banish Barron.

I suspect that trump's father told him pretty often that he was an abject failure, and deserved no respect. Do I pity him? Absolutely not! I hate the bastard as much as anybody. Plenty of people have overcome more problems than trump could ever imagine, but they chose to become decent human beings. He reminds me of Old Man Potter, in--"Its a Wonderful Life."
