I think that's just symptoms of the real problem: the extremely profit oriented media industry.
Senselessly creating and reporting on "conflicts" and "scandals" makes them the most money. Trump is just playing their game.
- zentiggr 6y agoTrump plays no game but his own. There is no world to him except what he perceives, even more so than 99.9% of people his own self-supporting delusions drive his entire existence. No one can puncture that bubble, at least not that I've seen.
- 101404 6y agoI am surprised how people can still have this simplistic, lazy view. Including most "journalists". Anyways, by downvoting you already showed that you don't care about open discussions. Good luck with that.
- zentiggr 6y agoSimplistic? I've been reading investigative reports of his very narcissistic, unstable behavior for decades. He's no different in office, just far more visible. He's not playing a media game when he praises every network that talks him up, and calls everyone else Never Trumpers, conspiracies, and fake news. That's a narcissist who can't accept ever being wrong. Have you ever seen how he waffles and grabs at any straw any time he's told to his face that something he said or tweeted was blatantly wrong? It's very obvious, diagnosable behavior. Not simplistic at all. More like all too well informed, and honestly afraid of what his personality cult might do even beyond the damage they've already caused.
- 101404 6y agoThe "Trump personality cult" that I see most often is the one you practice. Kind of a "reverse cult", where you are so focused on "not following" a person that it hinders rational thought. Pretty interesting phenomenon.
