Trump Fury Rattles Aides as Midterm Woes Take Worse Turn: “He’s Angry” As the president’s frustration reportedly mounts, a writer who covers crises unleashed by Trump’s war explains how and why he’s suddenly running headlong into the limits of his magical thinking. (The New Republic)
I wish I had come up with the term of Trump’s Magical Thinking, because thinking about Trump and his delirium of delusion, I suppose the best way to summarize this deranged and dangerous man is to state that he, Trump, must believe he is a person of great abilities, a sort of wizard, who makes magic. All of that fits in well with what many mental health professionals have stated as Trump’s illness of malignant narcissism, with the right blend of sociopathy.
Surrounding himself with peasants who place their own self-aggrandizement above and beyond any morals or values, Trump actually has been able to pull off some magic tricks and honestly has gotten away with some of the most abhorrent and egregious actions humanly possible. Trump, so far, has paid very few consequences for any criminal activities he has overtly or passively committed, and so, why not believe in Magical Thinking?
Imagine if the Republicans in Congress actually presented their own fury and frustration regarding Trump’s insane actions, imagine if the billionaires who supported Trump placed the safety of America above their own profits, imagine if the MAGA replaced their fury against the Liberal Democrat Snowflakes, and had the insight to understand it is they too who suffer the deeds of Trump. Imagine if anyone with the power and ability to tell Trump, no, stop, your magic powers are over, actually came forward.
The New Republic article states that Trump is ‘suddenly running headlong into the limits of his magical thinking, but so far, I see no roadblock, no pushback, no backbone, no attempt at stopping any of this.
