Jamelle Bouie argues in today’s NYT that Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to attach any agency to his opponents. As a result, the great man is unable to anticipate and plan for any meaningful resistance. The Iran war is evidence of this personality disorder. Is Bouie right?
He absolutely is, but there is another element to it—Trump has no imagination. He repeats himself over and over again. That’s why he is continuing the hunt for Delcy.
