"For I behold the heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars which you have made. What is man that you are mindful of him? or the Son of Man that you dwell with him? You have made us a little less than the angels, and you have crowned Him with glory and honour, And have set Him over all the works of your hands."
Psalm 8:3-5
“Narcissistic personality disorder is named for Narcissus, from Greek mythology, who fell in love with his own reflection.

And their hysteria with their own issues is almost boundless, while the country languishes.
Trump seems determined to sabotage himself. Yes, he has 'enemies'. But his biggest enemy is himself.
When this goes into the ditch, no one will have seen it coming.
That is because they can only see the rest of us and the world through their own reflections, darkly, if at all.
Lord have mercy on us.
Have a pleasant evening.
