I am writing about him. It’s not political; it’s not tribal; it’s not even a fraction of the whole story. But if he is the one to rule us all, we should incautiously imagine what someone might do who, like him:
- knows nothing but fear and anger, day in and day out
- cannot love or feel love
- has no empathy nor understanding that others have emotions
- has no insight
- believes emotional expression is to manipulate
- is incapable of caring
- cannot appreciate
- cannot enjoy
- cannot laugh
- feigns emotion by mirroring
- has no moral self nor any belief in morality
- has no ethical beliefs nor belief in ethics
- acknowledges the law to the extent he hasn’t overcome it yet
- sees right and wrong as they manifest in behaviors, not as concepts with value
- says what works
- lies for no reason, no purpose, when a lie makes no sense
- lies to make himself look good in the moment
- lies about lying when caught in a lie
- denies what is obvious
- insists that all others also deny it
- assumes that all others see things as he does
- believes others exist to serve him
- learns everything by trial and error
- consequently pushes the boundaries of normalcy and decency to extremes
- tests the limits until there are no limits
- must believe he is recognized at all times, whatever it takes
- barely differentiates positive from negative attention
- believes he is admired and envied by all others
- is infinitely needy and demands his needs be met by all others
- derives his entire sense of self worth from money
- envies and fears those he believes are more wealthy and more powerful than he
- seeks revenge when emotionally injured
- seeks to destroy what he cannot control
- fears and avoids confrontation and therefore
- uses others to wreak his revenge and destruction
- is readily subject to manipulation
- hates himself for his weakness, fear, and failure
- believes he must do everything in his power not to be discovered for the fraud he has always known he is
- believes everyone is exactly like him
and is surrounded by people whose intentions are so much worse than his.
