Entering the Orbit of a Total Narcissist: Who's Who in Donald Trump's Inner Circle
The Guardian ^ | April 15 2016 | on Swaine, Oliver Laughland and Ben Jacobs

Posted on 04/16/2016 9:29:51 AM PDT by Savage Rider

From his career in New York real estate to his extraordinary campaign for the White House, the court of Donald Trump has operated much like that of Louis XIV of France: everything revolves around the imperious, bouffanted Sun King.

“He is a total narcissist, and what you see here is the way he’s always been,” said a source intimately familiar with Trump’s way of working, who declined to be identified criticising a potential president. “This, between you and me, will be the destruction of the United States.”

Posting those huge annoying pictures must be easier than making a sensible comment.

Cruz is still in the game and he is playing.

Trump has abandoned the game in the hard places, i.e. Wyoming and is whining.

Cruz has a good chance.

Trump cannot get to 1237 by even the most biased reckoning.

That means it goes to the Convention.

And that means a strategy. Not cheating, but working at it.

Cruz has an excellent chance to win on the second ballot.

Hmmmm. No. I never click on links. If you have something to say, don’t be a Trump.

Do the work.

I agree! 100%. I have pushed for a businessman President for 25 years. I want someone who will also demand “clean” bills from Congress. We’re paying far to much for pet projects that are complete bs!

Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.

Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party, we’ll be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.

Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

Are you suggesting Americans posting images to make their point is something new?

This annoys you? That seems a bit anti American to me.

You’re the one too lazy to do the work. Must be more fun to just throw feces.

It’s not subtle, it’s noticeable...and that’s a good thing.

Ah! So you prefer a professional politician. Not me! We’ve have too many of them right now!

Except for that last insult, which I find totally uncalled for, this is an interesting and different reply. Thanks.

2 seconds after Trump wins the Nomination, he goes up 5 points on Hillary.

And you think Cruz is the man? He who has achieved nothing of any significance save alienation of his peers?

Sessions probably sees Trump as the only hope to get immigration under control. This is the hill Sessions choose to die on years ago. He is one of the true patriots that knows the country will be destroyed by continued unfettered immigration. Basically nothing else matters if we lose this battle. God bless Jeff Sessions!

Why do trumpers always feel the need to include vulgarity in their posts.

I post my opinion and sometimes expand on it.

You post links and expect us to click.

I may have to add you to my list of people too dumb to post to.

Your opinions are uninformed. I attempted to educate you, but you fought it. LIV is no way to go through life, son.
