Is Trump pissed off because Roy Moore is stealing all his media attention?

I think it is killing him that the media is talking about Roy Moore instead of Donald Trump.

He has monopolized all the TV time everyday since he has been President, it seems?

This must be very painful for him to watch Moore steal his glory?

I think he's glad the major media scrutiny is on someone else. Orsino Nov 2017 #5

Aside from feeling the need come out yesterday and declare VICTORY!! ( remember when "spiking the football" was bad?) he wanted the coverage to turn back to him. He claimed he was "forced" to watch CNN - hard to believe provisions weren't made for him to see Fox - and they were wall to wall Moore.

He loves media attention, but hates critical examination by media...obviously because the merest scrutiny reveals the gaping holes in his career and personality.

He looks marginally less horrible every moment Moore remains in the national spotlight, so at some level he must be glad for someone else's scandal.

But with this pathological narcissist, I think he would prefer to get all the attention.
