Tweetstorm is not a reflection of his narcissism but his guilt:

[kpete]

In case you aren't on twitter, I thought you should know what has been on your president's mind this president's day week-end:

























...............

This tweetstorm has the character of a cornered animal fighting for his life. And yet the indictments that came down didn't implicate him. I know we all assume that it's just his ego at work, that he is so twisted and deranged that he cannot stop doing this because he thinks it taints his victory. He says that himself. So why do we believe it? He's a pathological liar.

Well, I assume it's because his narcissism is so obvious that it's believable that he would go to these lengths to defend his narrow victory.

But what if that's not it? What if he goes to these lengths because he's actually guilty? I certainly am not saying that he has a strategy. He's clearly incapable of that. What I'm saying is that his crazy reaction to the Russia investigation isn't necessarily attributable to his insane ego. It might just be attributable to the fact that he knows he did something very bad and he knows he's going to be caught.

It is not normal for a 71 year old man to behave this way, certainly not normal for a president. But there is no reason to assume that his abnormal behavior is simply a function of his narcissism. It might just as easily be a function of his guilt.

1. The impetus behind Trump's tweets

The indictments of the Russians from the other day strike at the core of one part of Trump's defense, that is, that Russians had nothing to do with his electoral win. Robert Mueller's indictments show unequivocally that Trump is wrong and the Russians were involved for years in sowing discord among American voters.

In other words, an important element of Trump's narrative has been shot down and the rickety house of cards he's constructed is beginning to collapse. As a cornered animal, Trump knows he's trapped. That's what makes this idiotic, insane narcissist so very dangerous.

2. Wait a minute, I thought t-rump was vindicated from

any and all Russia collusions.

3. It's an expression of fear of being caught. He has no guilt.

6. Bill Clinton was able to continue his duties as President while being impeached....

Donald Trump is unable to be President and defend himself from possible impeachment.
