I am saying I was working for one of the richest (and cheapest) men in America in the early 80's in south Florida when Trump first bought Mar A Largo. I was around him for about 6 months and can easily check off almost all the points on the NPD checklist and several on the Mysophobia checklist.

These are things that do not get better with age without intervention.

I am not singling him out, as many with power and money can do what they do because they have power and money. I am saying reality and perceived reality are not the same in the modern world. Especially when you have insulation and spin doctors who cater to your whims. I am saying I am very aware that reality and your third party perception of reality may be the polar opposite of each other.

Sounds a little like myself, minus the dough. Keep all that between just the two of us, ok?

And yeah, Ive been around some excessively wealthy people as well, maybe not the level of Trump, but wealthy enough to be I guess eccentric in quite unique ways. Their expectations, the refusal to be told no or that something can't be done for them. And I'm sure most have quite unique quirks. Throw on top of that NPD and phobias, sure, that gets a little complicated.

All that said and all things considered, yes I'm rather impressed with his overall presentation. As a third party "perceiver," sure. One thing I've always been told and subscribe to is you can look to one's kids for a decently accurate judgment of the parent(s). His kids strike me as very well rounded, well kept, intelligent and disciplined. Spits out a pretty positive report for Trump, IMO.

So many long posts from me today. So many.
