Well, as of today, he's still running! Sort of.</div><div>So just why did The Donald give an emergency press conference yesterday from the Mar-a-lago ballroom? Where Trump would normally <i>never</i> be in the immediate wake of an August hurricane, no less?</div><div>Short answer: it's ALL fake, folks!</div><div>Unlike Trump's Bedminster golf club, Mar-a-lago is gold-plated and palatial, evoking subliminal Presidential vibes. Trump can't commandeer the White House, but he desperately needs to project maximum Presidential impact. </div><div>So--back to Florida, instead of hitting the campaign trail.</div><div>The short version of Trump's meandering, unscripted, off-the-cuff political diatribe: Trump projects a fake Presidential authority within his peculiar House of Cards that's structured as a fragile bubble of intersecting lies.</div><div>At the center of his shocking, defensive display of unacknowledged angst is Trump's mental dysfunction of which he is unaware. </div><div>In other words, Trump's denial of his mental illness, and his inability to see clearly that his propensity to live within a fake, constructed reality serves only his perceived self-interest, is a significant dimension of his mental illness.</div><div>In short, it's self-destructive, malignant, delusionary narcissism propped up by political sycophants who do know better and armies of gullible MAGA worshippers who would rather believe Trump's Repugnant lies than confront their own personal truth.</div><div dir="ltr">Trump's not exactly what anyone else would call a "stable genius."</div><div>Fasten your seat belts, folks! It's already a bumpy election.</div></div><div dir="ltr">Marshall Jones</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><img title="Inline image" alt="Inline image" src="cid:b529705d-593d-1536-a109-befd910f8e19@yahoo.com" style="max-width:800px;width:100%;" class="ydp9ae3da03yiv0061353285yahoo-inline-image" draggable="false" data-id="<b529705d-593d-1536-a109-befd910f8e19@yahoo.com>"><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
