I’m afraid of Trump because the people who are supposed to help him, and therefore the rest of us, are afraid to do anything helpful.

Malicious narcissists can’t handle criticism or the implication that they are responsible for anything bad. Bringing up Russia, no matter the context, would be perceived by Trump as a reference to the whole Russia election scandal and as such, a criticism.

Narcissists react to any real or perceived criticism by punishing the offending party, by attacking and denigrating the person, since to them, no criticism is valid.

All his hires are the “best” until they leave, then he immediately trashes them, especially if they speak negatively about him. His only motivation in current hires is putting sycophants in place to ensure loyalty to him rather than the country.

Knowing the pettiness of the orange leaky bag of mostly stupidity, I can only image the dread of being assigned the task of trying to get information through the membrane of reality-denying ignorance containing all the concentrated stupidity. Especially in light of his history of vindictiveness for those trying to follow their oaths to the constitution, instead of being blindly loyal.

That doesn’t change the fact that any functional administration wouldn’t have this issue, or that speaking truth to power is the obligation of those in public service.

I’d say fuck trump, but we’re the ones who are fucked until we get rid of that putrid puss-sack sliming the Oval Office.
