'Nobody likes me,' Trump complains, as even his allies fade

(CNN)Lamenting his plunging popularity this week, a self-pitying President Donald Trump wondered how it all went wrong.

"Nobody likes me," he said, confounded at how his administration's health experts could be receiving accolades while he is accused of ignoring and denying the raging public health crisis.

"It can only be my personality," Trump said, "that's all."

(Snip)

In a week that saw a devastating global pandemic worsen, a record economic meltdown confirmed and an all-out bid to stoke racial tensions for political gain deepen, Trump is finding himself more and more the odd man out: absent and detached from the leadership of either party, locked in antique cultural battles and increasingly unpopular among voters.

Can't spell it, can't pronounce it, can't define it, and can't perform it.
As a concept to him, it's nonexistent.

He is being deprived of the narcissistic supply that he thrives on and desperately craves and actually needs.

Now, he is resorting to the "poor little me" and is probably feeling sadz in order to try to get attention like the five-year-old he is inside.

Maybe next he will finally go catatonic and Pence or Barr will have to do a ventriloquist act and move his hands and mouth while throwing their voices.
