Mr. Trump is a narcissist. He is pathologically driven to say and do whatever will provide him emotional supplies, attention, and hopefully admiration. The media, with rare exceptions, has treated him at face value and "normalized" his pathology.
Trump may be just the first of the new authoritarian candidates America will have to deal with, a perilous problem for sure. Our leaders and so called economic elites, both democratic and republican, must support government efforts to deal with our dangerous economic inequality . It could all get so much worse for our society if we continue to ignore this festering problem. Republican fear mongering is not helping.
