A Plausible Diagnosis

While our current president obviously relishes his role, he shows little interest in, and spends scant time on the details of governing. He prefers instead to travel the globe making grandiose pronouncement in an unending quest for adulation.

As an empty suit, he exists only as an object of such adulation, from which he draws delusions of adequacy.

He in fact is no more than a gifted and glib mimic aspiring to a role as a real actor. The effort invariably fails as it did when he attempted to pass himself off as a student of history only to immediately thereafter falsely describe historical events.

He apparently believes that his saying something makes whatever he says true. Thus his reality is bound by and limited to his rhetorical world.

This reflects an excess of unwarranted self esteem to the point of constituting pathological narcissism.
