This country needs to come to terms with the fact that Donald Trump is incapable

of leading us in this time of crisis. He cannot and will not change. He suffers from a lifelong mental illness. We all perceive the world through our own thoughts, we are all budding narcissists, but most of us are capable of understanding a shared reality, based on intuitive and reason based understanding that we are not alone in this world and so we forge a world in which multiple perspectives create a common sense. Trump cannot do this. He is mentally isolated. He thinks he alone can fix things. If someone criticizes him he attacks, even in the middle of a pandemic. He is delusional, and is incapable of changing. His ego is so fragile he cannot absorb the truth, but only project his own delusions. The more people plead with him, the more sadistic he becomes. We have to recognize what is happening here. There will never be any seeing the light moment for Trump. He is too far gone.

He is simply a tool, someone who can be easily blackmailed or manipulated. He was the perfect Manchurian Candidate.
