The heart of the bully is the lack of self-validation

[MrScorpio]

The heart of the narcissistic is the absence of concern and compassion for others.

The heart of the ignoramus is the inability to recognize what oneself does not know.

Sum it all up and you get Donald Trump. Admire it all, in spite of how wrong it is, and you get his supporters... People who are too fearful, hateful, stupid and disaffected for their own good. They believe that Trump will empower them and mitigate their inability and unwillingness to cope with the real world.

This is nothing more than a recipe for disappointment and failure. They're blind to it, of course.

The con man preys on these types of people for his support. They're utterly unaware that such people only cares about themselves and would never hesitate to exploit others in order to get ahead. During election year, the more, the merrier.

This is the heart of abuse.

1. They remind me of the Bernie Madoff investors, many of whom

knew that he was a little shady, but they heard from their friends that he was a miracle worker with investments, so they lined up, ready to turn their money over to him and to join the exclusive club that had "the REAL scoop" on the way things worked.

The easiest con to pull is when you convince the mark that they're the smartest person in the room, and that only they have the ability to see that, no, really, the emperor is fully clothed, while everyone else is laughing at him parading around in his underwear.
