I'm now thoroughly convinced....

That Trump is a twisted, absurd version of Lord Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis come to life in our time.

He exhibits so many of the same diabolical traits, fits of paranoia and all consuming ambitions as Shakespeare's own, that they're hard to ignore. It's only a matter of time before he has real blood (vicariously or not) on his hands.

my money is on some sort of dementia issues. I also think he has terrible high blood pressure which isn't helped by the man girdle he wears. and an unhealthy diet.

He likes to boast about how his parents lived to a ripe old age, but they weren't obese and didn't fill up on crap food like KFC and burgers.

“an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul.”

George Simon, a clinical psychologist who conducts seminars on manipulative behavior, says Trump is “so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example” of narcissism. “Otherwise I would have had to hire actors and write vignettes. He’s like a dream come true.”
