    Again, hard no. See the recent examples you brought up?

    FFS, no one can say anything about Trump's mindset without this kinda argument. I'm not saying he was formerly smart, or sane, or bereft of narcissism.

    I'm simply saying he wasn't some old man yelling at clouds. Which is where we're at today. He wasn't nearly this unhinged in 2015, eight years ago, when he won the GOP nomination. Think a man in his 70's somehow remained the same mentally? Don't know about you, but I've paid close attention to the President of my country. Pointing out that he's getting worse is not some sort of apology.

    And of course you're right in noticing, "validate his narcissistic belief that he's the eternal victim in this world". LOL, he's pulled this bullshit since he was rejected by the New York liberals. LOL, they saw him for what he was, kicked him to the dirt, and he never forgave them.

    Kinda off topic, but this is an important history lesson. Ever seen Obama savage Trump at the White House Correspondent's Dinner?

      He wasn’t nearly this unhinged in 2015, eight years ago, when he won the GOP nomination.

      Trump has been making insane claims about “windmills” - as he calls them - since he realized that he wouldn’t be able to bully the Scottish government into stopping a wind farm project that could be seen from his golf course.

      That was in 2011.

      Take a look at the Trump Twitter Archive and see for yourself.

      So no, this didn’t only start at some point after 2015. Trump has always been a crybully and a narcissist.
