But I can’t feel any sympathy or pity for him. He’s as repulsive a man as I’ve ever seen.

People like TFG,malignant narcissists, are born, not made, and he'd have been just as sick coming out of a normal family, just like his siblings were more rational human beings coming out of the same rotten situation he did. While they were likely damaged, they were still this side of reason, unlike TFG.

Niece Mary is still making excuses for him, trying to help him blame Mom and Dad for a condition he was born with. It' odd how that works with family. I recognized how bonkers my extended family was and wasn't afraid of saying so. My mother only admitted I was correct 3 years before her death at 94.

All of this is beside the point, the point being his personality disorder utterly disqualifies him from any government office.
