    He can’t stand that the media is talking about Biden and Harris and not him. He is a child shouting “Look at me!”

      I think he’s finally figured out that Harris is going to suck all the oxygen out of the room for a long time. He wants free airtime.

        Well all he cares about is optics and being in the news (good or bad) more than anything else. Any “policy” he word salads about is just a vehicle to get attention. At the RNC he couldn’t even help himself and had to mention his crowd size and how they cared so much about him when recounting his assassination attempt (even went on about how nobody even moved when they heard the shots because they needed to know he was ok - I saw video showing otherwise).

      The fact that there was an assassination attempt made against him within the last month, and we’ve all collectively moved on to talking about Harris must boil the black ichor that runs through his veins.

      Also, he wants to be president (and was president) and has no idea how shit works. Maybe that’s not a good sign.

      It’s the core of his being. As a narcissist, “look at me” is the emotion driving all of his actions. Since 2015, the media and the GOP have seen him and just parroted “look at him” in an ever-more-deafening crescendo.

      It’s interesting how after that continuously escalating supply of attention, he goes through attention withdrawal at the slightest decrease in attention. I guess that’s where the “sociopath” part comes in handy, since he has no barriers to doing or saying anything to redirect attention to him. He’s like the perfect machine built to waste our time.

      I guess he thought wearing a huge bandaid on his ear claiming Jesus personally chose to save him while innocent little children all over the world died in various horrible ways would still be bigger news.
