Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDear Journalists: Trump will never pivot. He'll never develop compassion & cease being a narcissist.
He will NEVER become presidential.
He will always be a con man out to benefit himself at the cost everyone else.
He will always callously manipulate others.
He will always be incurious, lazy and ignorant.
Because he came into office while violating the Constitution he will always be ripe for impeachment and removal.
He will always own businesses which are in conflict of our national interest, be engaging in nepotism and be a traitor who colluded with Russia to steal an election.

(47,393 posts)that the way to make a vulgar sideshow barker presidential, is to have him fire off some missiles at an empty air strip. The media can be so gullible. You'd think they would have learned after eight years of GW.
In the end, Music Man Harold Hill found true love and saw the error of his ways. In movies and novels, the con men often find redemption and become honest, decent human being. This, however, is real life and Trump is not going to change and as you say, he will NEVER become presidential. Journalists need to stop trying to create a narrative that does not exist.

He has lived the way he is...narcissistically and manipulatively using people and events for his entire 70 years. It has "worked" for him. Why would he want to change that now? And still the pundits and news media folks want to see a change in the man when we've all seen him temporarily "change" only to revert to who he really is, often within hours or days. Maybe hope springs eternal, but for me, he showed who he is a long time ago and I see no sign of a change worth noting.

(8,998 posts)He will be allowed to resign ratrher than be impeached (the GOP will avoid the shame) and he will keep his bodyguard and other benefits.
Probably his draft dodging ankle problem will flare up after all these years.

(36,745 posts)We don't understand, because he has a mental illness. So they try to explain it away and "normalize" it. Wrong tack.
Dump is mentally ill and it falls within the 25th amendment guidelines. Remove him from office and get him treatment.
