Fantasy largesse:

Trump promised $25,000 to a grieving military father in a phone call. The check hasn’t arrived.

Chris Baldridge, the father of Army Sgt. Dillon Baldridge, told The Post that President Trump called him at home and offered him $25,000 out of his personal account a few weeks after his son and two fellow soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in June. He also directed his staff to establish an online fundraiser for the family, the father said. The White House said late Wednesday that the check has been sent.

@ WashingtonPost.com, 10/19; they are headlining it right now. I don't know how he fights this 'not caring" branding he's developing with "the troops"themselves. It will be amazing if he manages to turn it around.

Imagine being the father, and having to say you didn't get the promised check, when the donor is the president....

That's a good point. There

That's a good point. There are narcissists who get things done despite needing to always include themselves in every narrative. Fantasists do not experience contradictions.

Ah but I also like this: that it is important not to confuse the problem of a reactionary agenda with the Trump problem:

because he’s a reactionary fantasist, whose policies stir the emotions but are stalled in the headwinds of reality.

Fantasist is a word that hasn't been used enough with him. The fantasies continually spill out of him and the role play to go with them. And this seems to be speeding up over time to a manic state. I dare say this is more accurately where many of us are equating with mental illness, rather than as regards the narcissism.That 's the one that really hit me.

In reply to yez. Andrew Sullivan: Trump’s

No further explanation required:

These are not conservative reforms, thought-through, possible to implement, strategically planned. They are the unhinged fantasies of a 71-year-old Fox News viewer imagining he can reconstruct the late 1950s.

yez. Andrew Sullivan: Trump’s

It's been over a week now and all we got so far is the same old same old daily hurricanes. Where's the money on this promise? Can some reporter follow up?

Looks to me like instead of causing a storm by firing the grownups in the cabinet, he has decided to fight back by showing he is king of the castle and the whole world, everything under his control, including the Republican party; they are all his minions and are losers without his support.

Unfortunately, could be this

Hopefully is not this

“USA provokes diplomatic crisis with Iran for no reason other than to soothe the president’s ego” is a heck of a cliffhanger episode.

David Ignatius @ WaPo: A question for the Iran hawks: If the United States refuses to certify an agreement when a country is “technically” in compliance, why would any other country ever make a deal with us again? A great country keeps its word.
