In a recent Fox News interview our former President asserted that the people who hold him accountable are just evil. He went on to assert that the American people will at some point reach a breaking point. What an incredible tell.

Growing up with his father Fred, Donald was never allowed to even come close to breaking. Always his father’s favorite, his golden child. While ambivalent or almost entirely negligent toward the rest of his family, Fred Trump was overly attached to and grossly indulgent of Donald. He coddled him from the beginning and virtually removed any and all consequences of his actions from him. He saw in his son what he wanted to see and not the action he had done or its effect on anyone around him.

Fred Trump was entirely codependent on his son and focused on making him in his own image. In that vein he protected Donald from ever reaching any kind of breaking point. If he misbehaved, it was always the fault of someone else. The nanny, a sibling, another student and even Fred himself, but never Donald. As a result, the man almost never experienced a moment of sorrow that led to contrition or regret. Fred would simply not allow it. By 2016, the adult Donald, the man who ran for POTUS, was virtually unknown by the party that nominated him. Most painfully of all, he was entirely unknown by the most religious among the party and as a result they were some of the most vulnerable within it.

Think about the advent of the Billy Bush tapes when we heard him in his own words express glee at groping women’s genitalia. As many were shocked, he spun it as embellished by the media. By the time this part of him was exposed to the masses it was so late in the race that Hillary was the only alternative. The far right hated no one as much as her and he fed off that. Most could not grasp that what they thought they saw in her, was similar to a match in comparison to a bonfire.

I believe with every fiber of my being that the average person finds it impossible to fathom that another human being could be so utterly detached from life itself. The reality is that Donald Trump was raised without ever learning to see himself in the context of mankind, as one among many. He was taught to live his life attached to others solely for the benefit of what they could bring to him and for him. Heathy people have supportive networks, pathologically ill people have a body of enablers that they cannot ever be without. Most pathological narcissists have few friends because they cannot have reciprocal relationships. The more extreme the pathology, the more true this is. Trump literally has no one but himself most of the time. He is surrounded by people but virtually always alone.

The result of this sad man’s life is that the only breaking point he is capable of being familiar with is the one he inflicts on others. His suggestion that there will come a breaking point with those persecuting him and/or America’s tolerance of how he is treated, is solely with the expectation that when we as a country reach it, it will break in his favor and this is what he is counting on. Everything in his life up to now has reinforced for him that he can self indulge for life because anyone who opposes that indulgence will finally break, leave him alone (which he will feel no loss from) and he can move on as he wants to. It is all he knows.

Being a convicted felon hasn’t sunk in yet because he has no experience with anything sticking. He has endured two divorces, multiple bankruptcies and constant humiliation but like water on a well-oiled ducks back, none of it touches him personally. He still lives like a king and has suffered nothing but a bit of shame. He doesn’t feel shame so whatever happens is spun to illicit more sympathy and money from his followers. The only thing that can stop him is our justice system and he because he knows that he was hell bent on stacking the courts. He knows that he has to win the White House back from Sleepy Joe because if he doesn’t, the accountability train, though delayed is on the tracks and it will break him if it’s not stopped. He is 100% certain he and his enablers will stop it in November. He doesn’t grasp that he has been charged, found guilty and faces sentencing because he believes he’ll get off with a slap of the wrist. He always has.

We have to see him as he is. He is not as a Republican. Not is not a Christian. He’s not a husband in real life. He’s not a family man. He’s a mob boss with no friends, only conquests.

The bottom line is that his only goal is to break us.
