2. And he should be!

I lost my Mom this year to dementia. She had lived with me for a number of years once it began to take hold, but I knew when she'd passed that point of needing more help than I could give. I didn't want her to go to a memory care home, but I recognized what was right for her. And believe me, she was every bit as combative and foul-mouthed as trump is right now. I can see my mom's behavior in him every time he shows up on a stage. And yes, Mom was a narcissist, too... though her flip side was depression, not the evil Triad.

All trump shows us every single day is that there is no one in the world who cares enough about him to keep him from making a damned fool of himself, let alone screw up a country that gave him everything he's stolen. Can you imagine living a life where there's not one person, family or friend, who loves you enough to say, "Whoa... we need to talk and make some changes. It's really time to take away the car keys now, I'm afraid." Even worse, can you imagine being the kind of individual for whom NOT having someone who cares a whit about you like that... not one person who loves you even to that degree... and not care that that's how unloved you are?
