#439 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Thursday August 25)

Good morning, Thursday potpourri… NARCISSISM VERSUS COMPASSION Within a few days of each other, David Lash and Mark DiMaria discussed two sides of the coin “is it about me or is it about something greater than myself?” David noted that “The thing about Trump is that he seemingly is a diagnosable narcissist. If so, he is incapable of thinking of anyone but himself. So he turns the horrors and tragedies of Ukraine into an opportunity to talk about himself. He has no empathy, never has. Which makes me wonder even more about his supporters. Even if you like lower taxes and a draconian immigration policy, even if you see nothing wrong with telling lie after lie, even if you are deluded enough to subscribe to The Big Lie, can’t you see that his world view is all about him, that he cares for no one else? As an American doesn’t that enrage you? America is about ‘us,’ not ‘me.’”
