Thanks for this, Hal. It appears to this retired physician/psychiatrist that Tramp's time is running out. His Borderline Personality Disorder and its "rejection sensitivity" is forcing him into ever more illegal, impulsive, sadistic, and delusional thinking and behavior. This will not end well for him. And, on top of the BPD, he is showing increasing signs of Alzheimer's dementia, also exacerbated by the stress he is causing himself from the BPD defenses. He has painted himself into a corner and there is no sane way out. Maybe Carville is right. Have a blessed day, Gregg.

Thanks for the comment, Gregg, and good getting to know you over on the comments of Sabrina Haake's excellent substack today (lin in my Substack). What a great way to make new friends! We sure need them in these times when we must fight succumbing to depair as the realists among us see that unless there's an astounding turn of events Trump and his band of Gestapos and SS will dominate our llives for far into the future.

For those as old as you and I it could be the rest of our lives and for those with kids and grandchildren it is especially horrific to think of.

On the subject of his being sensitive to rejection I see this as why he is so hellbent on revenge. Check out this story about reeling snubbed by Columbia University 25 years ago: https://dnyuz.com/2025/03/21/decades-ago-columbia-refused-to-pay-trump-400-million-note-that-number/

On the early dementia I have noted among people I know that the earliest sign is imparied short term memory. Note that he is not denying he ever signed the Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Only two chances if he did sign it as it seems he did. He's lying or has early dementia. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/21/politics/trump-signature-alien-enemies-act-proclamation/index.html
