Great comment. Thank you for it.

Could be. For the record, I’m a blue-collar guy, but no Trumper. My opinion of Trump is that he is a vengeful, vindictive, bullying, lying, cheating, egomaniac. But he does love this Country, but not as much as himself.
My concern is that the best both major parties can do for presidential candidates is the above describe Trump, and in my opinion a mumbling, fumbling incompetent Harris.
I just don’t see Harris sitting across the negotiating table with Putin, Xi, Ali Khamenei, or any other head of a Country and be taken seriously.
People make a big thing over Trumps contacts with Putin after leaving office. My opinion, there is an old adage:
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer. I believe that is what Trump is doing.

As you might guess, I don’t agree with you, especially on the issue of which of the two candidates is incompetent. I refer you to “Lucky Loser,” a book about Trump’s career as a businessman and reality TV show performer, and Bob Woodward’s new book, “War.” Also, you might want to read the comments about Trump published in last Sunday’s New York Times, many of the comments from people who worked for Trump from 2017-21.

If you don’t want to do any of those things, just watch the video of Trump’s rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania. If I had experienced that rally as a dream, it would have been a nightmare.

Shame is a complex emotional response that arises when a person feels that they have violated societal or personal norms, or when they perceive themselves as inherently flawed or unworthy. It often involves a sense of inadequacy, embarrassment, or guilt, leading to feelings of humiliation or self-reproach.

Is it be possible that Trump’s overt shamelessness is overcompensation for inner feelings of inadequacy and guilt?
