Narcissist and pathological liar Donald "Rump" Trump needs attention and affection to fill the void inside his empty being. He'll do anything to get attention and acclaim: lie, cheat, manipulate. Despite his anger at the news media, he craves its attention. That's why he tweeted a ridiculously dishonest statement that Time Magazine had approached him to be on its cover as "Man of the Year," but that he turned them down. Alan Murray, Time Magazine's content editor, responded:
Amazing. Not a speck of truth here—Trump tweets he 'took a pass' at being named TIME's person of the year https://t.co/D6SJgyTpcY— Alan Murray (@alansmurray) November 25, 2017
Rump's mental illness is clear and disturbing. With reality pressing in on him on all sides with the Russiagate investigation, he creates his own delusional world in full view of us all.
