And check out the guy behind him. He's in disbelief.

I hope I'm never so out of touch with reality as Conald has been.

At the same time.....

He's worried that Conald is going to break completely down and doesn't have a clue about what to do about it.

An hour earlier, he was probably telling Trump, "This'll be Tremendous! Bigly!"

That's a level of ignorance that's hard to imagine.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

a combination of shock and anger. I suppose that's how he responds to any criticism only it mostly goes on in private. I am relishing this little bit of video, if only he had a stroke at the same time.

It appears to me to me that after Doltard takes a deep breath, he says 'relax' twice to himself?

Once it registered that he was being booed and his own mantra, LOCK HIM UP, was being pitched right back at him, his expression and coloring changed dramatically. I'm convinced Trump fully anticipated a stadium of adoring fans after Baghdadi's takedown, another notch to prove he was better than his nemesis President Obama.

Instead, he received a full rejection. What's a narcissist to do? Probably pretend he didn't hear it.

But he knows.

opportunity to prove all of us wrong simply by behaving like a decent human being as President rather than like a petulant manchild.

He is never going to behave like a decent human being. He's a narcissist. I'm thoroughly convinced of this, just as I'm convinced that my ex-husband is a narcissist. It's all about Conald. He's never going to have regrets about any of his actions, and he's never going to be sorry. He's always going to make justifications about his wrongdoings, either by blaming them on someone else, or by denying that they're wrongdoings at all.

The very few times that we've seen Conald attempt to look like he actually cares about someone else, it's just that....an attempt. He mimics other people's displays of emotion, because he doesn't have the capacity to have compassion or empathy.
