text: I agree with those who say there is something wrong with Donald, and I don't mean simply narcissism. He seems to be living in his own bubble, like someone with early dementia, and he only seems to want to interact with those who are in on the secret that he is kind of an actor in his own play, that his history is all that is happening in the world. He gets angry at those who refuse to play along, like the leader of a foreign country or press secretary. I remember Reagan in his second term, clearly led by hidden actors.
  But I am no expert on anything but my own dysfunction. 
  I have lived long enough to be encased in cynicism, and am sure the Congressional Republicans are willing to risk all to get their favorite programs and people in place. Maybe in a year Donald is eased out. If America is bankrupted, if we get enmeshed in a terrible war that kills hundreds of thousands...
  In the meantime, it will be a mean time.
