19. I absolutely agree, but the most bizarre aspect of this

is that Trump DEMANDS that everyone be extremely sensitive and nice to him, and the people who follow him are adamant that no one may say anything negative about him. On one hand, they are comfortable saying the most insulting and hostile things about others, but they are outrageously protective of Trump. I understand that multiple personalities probably do not exist, according to reputable mental health experts, but they may need to identify a new personality disorder for Trump and his supporters.
