National Review Confirms 'Startling' Report On Trump's Current Grasp Of Reality

A conservative writer has confirmed a report that former President Donald Trump is telling associates that he expects to be reinstalled as president this summer.

“The scale of Trump’s delusion is quite startling,” National Review senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke wrote on the magazine’s website.

Cooke said “an array of different sources” confirmed a report earlier this week by New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, who said on Twitter that Trump has been sharing the popular new QAnon talking point.

But Cooke went even further, saying Trump not only believes he’ll be put back into the Oval Office but also that he will be gifted with a Republican majority in the Senate, believing that two Democrats will be booted from Congress and replaced by the GOP candidates they defeated.

Or is this what we've known all along?

He's lost it. I mean, he lost it a long time ago.

And why isn't the entire population seeing this?

Trolling plus “power of positive thinking” attempts to will it into being.

A Name all the world hears with woe
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh whither so ever they blow

Whither so ever they blow
Onward to Glory I go!

For all the ink that gets spilled about Trump, at the end of the day he’s just your basic narcissist. Always craves attention, always makes everything about him.

He’s a narcissist, so he can’t accept a defeat. Since he’s been defeated, he’s desperate to convince himself he didn’t “really” lose because of fraud and it’ll all be reversed soon.

Trump’s loathsome, but I don’t blame him for being a narcissist. I blame his party for humoring his delusions and Republican voters for lacking the minimal discernment needed to tell electing someone with a personality disorder to the Presidency was an evidently terrible idea.

...Adolf Hitler went around the bend as early as 1942, when it started becoming apparent that he was going to lose the war. For nearly three years, Germany was led by a madman, and the whole country--with the exception of a few patriots on July 20, 1944--allowed him to take them down with him. I think the GOP is about where Germany was in 1942. They're going to allow him to take them all down with him. The only question is--do they take *us* down with him, too...?

It is split between those who know how to use an apostrophe when writing in English, and those who don‘t. The „don,t“ faction looks to be crushing the opposition by about a four-to-one margin, the National Review notwithstanding.
