Brief thoughts, after the Mar-a-Lago dinner

Donald Trump's mind (the infinite self-obsession; the endless need for flattery and adulation--regardless of the repugnant sectors from which the flattery or adulation might emanate; the unrelenting lies, the cruelties, hatreds, bigotries--and the routine fanning of them) is profoundly disturbed. Yet really, though--it seems far too constricting, regarding Mr. Trump, to simply speak of a disturbed mind.  It is also, in the end, a deep sickness of the soul.
