From @Olivianuzzi's great article in @NYMag today:
“The president always wants to hold rallies. He didn’t need encouragement,” this person said, adding that it was Kushner who got through to the president by explaining the issue to him in these terms: If no professional sports...
"...leagues were holding big events, the campaign had to rethink doing so too."
Now you know why Trumpland is so desperate to get SOME KIND of big sporting league up and running ASAP.
Trump NEEDS these rally events to feed his ego.
They can't force the pros so they're trying to
bully the collegiate sports leagues.

That supposition is mine and mine alone. Nuzzi doesn't say it in the article after noting what Kushner told Trump.
But it follows from Trump's massive black hole of emotional need.
Read the article.

1. I think your supposition is spot on!

Narcissists are black holes of need and filling that hole is more important than anything else.

2. Amazing article. I especially liked the descriptions of the deserted local offices.

I had seen references to their "best ground game in the history of the world," or some such nonsense. I knew it was probably a lie, but this makes it clear what a big lie it is.

Thanks for the article.
