Krauthammer on Trump

''Donald Trump, the man who
defied every political rule and prevailed to win his party's nomination,
last week took on perhaps the most sacred political rule of all: Never
attack a Gold Star family. Not just because it alienates a vital
constituency but because it reveals a shocking absence of elementary
decency and of natural empathy for the most profound of human sorrows -
parental grief.'' - Charles Krauthammer

''I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard
bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an
infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be
satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside
himself has value - indeed exists - only insofar as it sustains and
inflates him. '' - Charles Krauthammer

''Most politicians seek approval. But Trump lives for the adoration. He
doesn't even try to hide it, boasting incessantly about his crowds, his
standing ovations, his TV ratings, his poll numbers, his primary
victories. The latter are most prized because they offer empirical
evidence of how loved and admired he is. '' - Charles Krauthammer
