This narcissistic behavior thrives in a culture in decline, like ours. It started becoming more evident with the election of JFK & has become much worse. Bill Clinton was infected with it to a high degree, but was still somewhat aware of reality....the current president is the worst case I have ever seen in public life.
Trump does seem to be in love with the same one letter word that Obama loves so much. With the same two letter word coming in a close second.
Supposedly we’re raising more narcissists with every generation.
Small family size can’t be helping the situation.
