This is seductive and comforting to those of us who like fiction, far more than true. We want to believe it, and it may be valid for a few of us (certainly wrong for others) but worst, it's too easy to believe because we want to. Those are the dangerous ideas, the ones with more appeal than truth. Was Donald Trump mocked and belittled publicly? Of course, and some of it was even unfair. Tiny hands or funny hair are cheap shots, but he also was happy to bully others, among other truly outrageous things. He clings to the small truth that the press is mean. What I want to believe (what I feel is true) is irrelevant to reality, even if my feelings are the most compelling and memorable aspect of my experience. Each of us is the center of our own experience, but not the center of the world, so our view is inherently warped.
