Great piece last week in WH on this - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/09/22/a-look-at-the-170-times-donald-trump-has-tweeted-about-the-losers/?tid=a_inl

Had reference to this tidbit - http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/#/archive/loser

I posted this as a comment to another OP but wanted to highlight it with the article and archive site.

008 Financial Crisis - most people struggled, many lost jobs and homes, life savings.

McCain - being a POW meant he was a loser to Trump.

Hillary - failing bar exam, having to retake it.

Ms Universe contestant gaining weight.

How many setbacks or challenges by other people has Trump cited during his campaign as evidence of them being in his words "a loser"

Most people have defining moments in their life as to how they overcame adversity. When they speak of it, they speak of struggle as building character, their moral compass - it gave them empathy for others. It might have shaped their career path.

David Ortiz recently spoke about growing up so poor and in a bad neighborhood, worrying about getting shot. He said that playing baseball is a dream - and in high pressure game moments, he thinks of his childhood, where he had real struggles. Facing the Yankees is not life or death - his childhood was life or death. It defines Ortiz. Makes him the player he is. Real substance. Gravitas.

Think about Obama and his life story - and that story of losing his mother, his father - overcoming those challenges - how that defined him. Wise beyond his years. Maybe the reason he is so cool when others are flustered.

Would Trump ever acknowledge a setback or failure?

How did Trump overcome the setback or failure? How has it defined him?

Has Trump ever reflected on his life - in any way?

My mom always said that it is in tough times that we grow. We coast in the good times, but in the struggles, that is when we find out who we are, build our character.

Fundamentally - that is Trump's achilles heel. He talks about great success only - no challenges. No growth. When people say he acts like he is 8 - it is because he has not matured. No growth.

He thinks mocking other people's failures is a strategy. But really he makes them more human. It makes him less so.

1. Narcissists & sociopaths don't introspect and they don't have empathy.

Right Wing Authoritarians and RWA Followers compartmentalize thinking and actively seek confirmations of held beliefs while ignoring and rejecting negative information.

2. Trump repeated failed bar exam to Polish American Alliance today.

For some reason, it is important to him to mock other people's failures.
