Projection......without the screen

Trump’s uses projection like a murderer uses the river when he tosses his gun in after the crime. Just trying to get rid of the evidence and get some of the heat off.

Trump’s projecting slides out of his mouth like a fine-tuned habit.He doesn’t even try to soften it by whispering after dark. He does it in broad daylight, on an international stage, in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, after a school shooting. He does it in front of Native American Code Talkers, coal miners, the CIA. He does it in the Oval Office, in front of our troops, with his doctor at his side, in front of his wife, at a factory he’s lying about. He does it in Florida, New York, Michigan, Puerto Rico, London, South Korea, the Rose Garden. He does it about dead people, disabled people, poor people, displaced people. He does it about heroes, about wildfires, about exonerated inmates.

I understand the why part of this. What I don’t understand are all the people who know exactly what he’s doing, but still nod in agreement.

Whenever he starts spewing I just automatically hear him projecting every vile aspect of his own ooze.

So much adoration for so little return.

I think they really are afraid of him and what he's capable of doing.

That letter today was a full-on narcissistic rage. No attorney with a backbone would have been a part of it, but those close to him do whatever he wants. He probably screams obscenities and throws things until he gets his way.

His projection of self-hate, on official presidential
letterhead no less, tells me he's terrified of being held accountable.

He will held accountable tomorrow. He may not be removed from office by the Senate, but tomorrow he will be impeached by the House.

It's destroying his fragile little ego.
