...has to be the tweet of the day.
Does Trump know what party he's in?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The fact that Sneaky Dianne Feinstein, who has on numerous occasions stated that collusion between Trump/Russia has not been found, would release testimony in such an underhanded and possibly illegal way, totally without authorization, is a disgrace. Must have tough Primary!

She won't be needing donations to "survive" Trump's assistance. But there are plenty of others who do.

I have never seen a more incurious person in my whole life. Even Dubya was known to have read a book every now and then.

(58,785 posts)He's not clinically confirmed to have narcissistic traits, but this reminds me of something I read about how full-blown narcissists tend to fantasize.
They imagine a particularly pleasing image of themselves and look at and admire it. That's it. The pleasure's in admiring their own appearance or some, or whatever. Hard to imagine.
But the fantasized person doesn't need to do anything, isn't imagined heroically rescuing a child or dazzling a crowd with brilliance, the self image is already glorified and ready for intense admiration.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)He's looking very unhappy a lot of the time. His self image is constantly under attack, people don't love him, incoming from almost all sides all the time. And he really doesn't understand why or how to get control.
