Trump in Perspective

In the recent past, with each hateful, mean-spirited, factually inaccurate, or self aggrandizing statement leaving the mouth of Mr Trump, part of me wants to lash out and respond with equal amounts of venom, anger, and outrage. Lately, however, my dominant perception is focused on how much pain I see in this man's face. I suspect this anguish is a result of the deep, internal feelings of utter worthlessness all classic narcissists experience when encountering the void at the center of their being. Unfortunately, this inner malaise has now been turned outward onto the world and becomes the responsibility of the larger community to help remedy.
So when you turn to the ballot box this Fall hopefully to repudiate the ugliness that has been unleashed upon the country and the world, please also remember, with compassion, the wounded psyche and soul of the fellow human being you are most ardently rejecting as a potential leader.
