Diagnosing Trump

Just as a person who appreciates Freudian analysis, I have to notice how often Donald Trump tells anecdotes where people refer to him as ‘Sir’ or ‘Mr. President’. I’m sure he does get addressed as these things often, especially since he has set the precedent that he likes it that way, but it is hard to ignore the way he savors those terms as he recounts these (maybe true, maybe not) anecdotes. It’s noteworthy. He is what us professionals refer to as ‘an obviously fucked up guy’. If you haven’t noticed what I’m talking about yet, just keep an ear out whenever he’s in the zone telling stories. You’ll hear it.
