In reply to the discussion: Beating Trump 101: Cripple his ego [View all]Grasswire2
(13,569 posts)28. someone on MSNBC yesterday called it a GRIEVANCE CULT
And so when we attack him in demeaning ways, he raises money and support off it.
I think it was Steve Schmidt who used the term.
Every freaking day his sycophants and family find something to whine about. Kellyanne. Don Jr. Eric today! All of them claiming victim status for him and themselves.
And if you take a walk around his FB page and twitter, you will see that millions of minions are totally bought in on this narrative. They defend him because "he's fighting for us" against unprecedented attacks. They profess to LOVE him because we meanies hate him.
History tells us what he is, and what his supporters are captured by. Let's make this his time in the barrel, but find a way to stop this adoration.

If Trump is despeartely trying to cope with his crippled ego, he may do more than look insane.

I think both angles of attack are needed. Yes, his ENTIRE ego is tied to him being wealthy
