6. "... finds himself in the same boat... "

Interesting phrasing considering current events. Probably waving off a second strike.

Anyway, in a nutshell. There’s an example out today of why Trump is and always will be an unpopular asshole. A perfect example. He desires to be admirable and even loved by all. So, he makes his birthday a free day at the national parks. Fine! Might win him some passing praise.

But, then, the asshole emerges. He can’t help himself from stripping the free days from Juneteenth and MLK jr days. Doubling down on exactly why he’s not popular with the majority of Americans. He goes out of his way to be a craven dick. This is more than merely malignant narcissistic behavior. It’s something different and far worse.
