I hope the Rabbi had the good sense to snatch the prayer book from him and have it disinfected!

Sure he wanted it, look at his face, read what’s going through the grift machine! Can we do this prayer book with a gold cover with my picture on it? Can we add the constitution, bill of rights, Gettysburg Address? How much could we get for it. $100, $500, or even $1000? Maybe I add a piece of my tie as a book mark, wow easy $5000!

No matter what he says, Trump speaks for the 74 million people who voted for him and are different from him by degree, not by kind.

There are lots of experts, psychiatrists and others who have a different explanation. It's not true that half of Americans are narcissists. Trump has mesmerised poor, uneducated (and greedy, power hungry) people, creating a cult. He continues to use his rhetoric to inspire fear. That's the key ingredient. It's a perfect storm drawing upon (sadly) pre-existing racism and misogyny, etc and the growing disaffection of the public as they realise the American dream is actually not possible. (All the money is being sucked up to the top .5% of the wealthy but Trump has effectively blamed it on migrants, etc. That idea sits better with a public who are obsessed with fame and fortune. They don't want to blame wealthy, white men who appear successful.

(Come on justice system! Get this guy into a prison cell... after which many or most cult members will return back to normal. Then we have to work hard at combating the problems that 'Trickle down economics' has created over the last 40+ years. We now know that wealth at the top doesn't trickle down to the general population. It aggregates.

Peace

Dr. Brandy Lee has known of his threat to millions for close to a decade. I'm sure you have kept yourself apprized of his diagnosis by the world's most respected psychiatrists. If not, Meidas Touch Network's Anthony Davis and Dr Lee present weekly on his podcast.

Thanks for your good response. My comment is only suggesting MAGAs all share some of Trump’s characteristics.
