I can't watch the news right now. It's even difficult to come to DU and read the political forums.

However, I read a good article about how Trump is actually a great teacher in disguise. He is the pure embodiment of the inflated ego. There appears to be nothing more to the man. The article says that we should somehow honor the great sacrifice his soul has made to bring us this glaring example of what can happen to someone when the ego is allowed to reign supreme. If you believe in karma, it may take Trump thousands of lifetimes to work out the karma he has created in this one. The runaway inflated ego of Trump is so out of hand and over the top that even some Republicans were appalled by his behavior.

If Trump is ever turns around the lens and takes a good honest look inward, it will probably destroy him. But, for now, he thinks he is somehow profoundly better than the rest of us- a god among mortals. There is a lesson to be learned here.
