Faced with four indictments, 91 counts, Donald Trump insists, “I did nothing wrong.“  Donald views allegations against him as a Conservative strategy to bar him the Orval Office.  OK?  Let’s see.

How does Donald define “nothing wrong”?  From TV and reading I’m aware of acts by our forty-fifth President which appear to violate statutes:

• Despite the Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security, Christopher Krebs, labeling America’s 2020 election the most secure ever, and more than 60 failed court challenges, Donald claims Biden and the Democrats “stole” the Presidency. 
• Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes and badgered state officials to overturn election which examination and recounts prove to be accurate. 
• Trump and his acolytes hatched a scheme to submit false state electors and have Vice President Pence refuse to certify valid slates.
• On January 6, 2021, Donald ordered MAGA minions’ assault on the United States, Capitol, Congress, and Constitution and, for three hours, took no act to stop the suffering, carnage, and deaths. 
• On leaving office, in defiance of the Presidential Records Act, Donald spirited boxes of official government documents to his Mir-a-Lago home/resort. 

Given these undisputed facts, how can Donald continue to believe he, “did nothing wrong“? 

Fall of 2017 in The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump three dozen mental health professionals and others with hands-on experience laid bare the roots of Donald’s self-image and beliefs. The former occupant of the Oval Office exhibits textbook symptoms of “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”  As defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM5), Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is, “a persistent manner of grandiosity, a continuous desire for admiration, along with a lack of empathy. It starts in early adulthood and occurs in a range of situations, as signified by the existence of any 5 of the next 9 standards,

• A grandiose logic of self-importance
• A fixation with fantasies of infinite success, control, brilliance, beauty or idyllic love
• A credence that he or she is extraordinary and exceptional and can only be understood by, or should connect with, other extraordinary or important people or institutions
• A desire for unwarranted admiration
• A sense of entitlement
• Interpersonal oppressive behavior
• No form of empathy
• Resentment of others or a conviction that others are resentful of him or her
• A display of egotistical and conceited behavior or attitudes”

Nine for 9 exposes Donald Trump’s core conviction he can do “nothing wrong”!

Numerous writers expand on this.  Trump niece and Clinical Psychologist Mary Trump’s Too Much and Never Enough How My Family Crated the World’s Most Dangerous Man exposes the genesis of Donald’s beliefs and behavior.  Michel Wolff’s Landslide; Michael C. Bender’s Frankly, We Did Win The Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost;andCarol Leonning and Philip Rucher’s I Alone Can Fix It examine Trump’s lunacy.  A common takeaway: America’s forty-fifth president exhibits an obsessive, egomaniacal sense of self-importance and insatiable need to be extolled, if not venerated.

When villagers reneged on paying the Pied Piper of Hamelin for piping rats into the Weser River, the Piper piped their children into—accounts vary—the River or a cave, never again to be seen.  Will the most recent resident of the Oval Office pipe the Grand Old Party to its demise?
