That Area Between Black and White
They all seem to think a lot of themselves, these politicians. Trump clearly does. I mean, narcissism is his thing, the one thing he is good at. A couple of weeks ago, I was at my son, David’s, wedding, and of course, that means family. Lots and lots of family. The whole family thing can …
Insane. Compulsive vs. pathological liar. Sociopath vs psychopath. Narcissistic personality disorder. Paranoid personality disorder. Everyone seems to have an opinion on the president.
