2. The guy has so little self-awareness that he has no perception of the reality of your statement.

He won't resign for any of those reasons.

9. I think that he has NO self awareness, only unfettered delusional ego.

He really believes that his insanity is the only reality.

8. One thing is interesting to me though

He apparently has no perception of this.

Nor, apparently do his supporters. They are still ga-ga about how wonderful he is. In their warped minds his is taking "truth to power". It is much more like incompetent stupidity to a windmill but they are blissfully unaware.

14. Yup. I recently read a post from one of them calling trump "The best president in my lifetime"

putting aside the complete disaster his presidency is, how can anyone say that about someone who has been in office for only six months?

19. It is a fascinating disconnect

worth of sociology research. The only problem is the significant damage it does to our country every moment these idiots are in control.

It's like giving the steering wheel of the family car to a belligerent 2 year old.

13. Unfortunately, he's accomplishing quite a bit of what the right-wingers want

His executive orders and judicial nominations don't get as much attention as the health-care fight, but they've already moved the country to the right in significant ways.

After his extremist appointees have had more time to reshape their agencies, things will get even worse. I'm sure that major regulatory changes are being worked on now. For some things that can't be done with a quick executive order, a lengthy and detailed proposed regulatory amendment will be released and put out for public comment. We'll all get emails from various organizations asking us to sign petitions opposing the changes. The changes will be approved anyway (no Congressional action required).

Let's not overlook legislative action, either. This week he lost one battle but Congress has already passed some right-wing bills for him to sign, and there will be more of those, too.
