President Trump says he doesn’t care about the midterm elections. He says he doesn’t think much about Americans’ economic hardship resulting from the war in Iran. And now he is brushing off a landmark, bipartisan bill to lower housing costs in the United States, characterizing the legislation as a matter of “minor importance.”
At a moment of political peril for the president and Republicans, Mr. Trump’s priorities seem increasingly detached from the concerns of voters and his party. His focus is trained on his own obsessions and pet projects, including his expansive and costly renovations at the White House and around the nation’s capital, a topic that he returns to again and again.
If you are still a Trump/MAGA supporter, hasn’t Mr Trump convinced you yet that he cares nothing about you and the rest of the American people. He cares only about himself, his self aggrandizement. He can’t help himself, his brain won’t allow him to think about others, about anything except what he wants regardless of the consequences. He is a malignant narcissist and we are all paying the price.
