We are witnessing a descent. Above all things, pathological narcissists fear most the mirror to their true failings. “Judgment cometh,” Donald, and right soon. When a sitting President toys with stochastic terrorism, when his words become ammunition in the hands of the unhinged, we reject the fiction that this is just “rhetoric.” It is a strategy. It is a push of a murderous…
