Trump is still his own worst enemy
Something has been obvious to just about everyone, except passionate supporters who pretty much think Donald Trump can do no wrong — or just as likely don’t care one way or the other.
The man, as they say in polite company, has…issues. They’re not just of the legal variety.
Based on court filings released this week, we can see how far Trump was allegedly willing to go to stay in power. The crimes that Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges are not the kind of things a normal person would do.
Two points before we go on: First, allegations are just that. They’re not proof of wrongdoing. But the charges leveled at Trump by the special counsel, backed up by sworn testimony, are not implausible. They ring true with what we know about Trump and what we heard and saw on live television on Jan. 6, 2021.
Second, I’m not a therapist, so I won’t attempt to give his condition a technical name. But in plain English, it seems obvious that Trump cannot accept the idea that he was rejected by voters in a free and honest election, and that losing affects him in a way........
