Born-LOSER-in-Chief

"To see why humor could be so effective in dealing with LIAR-in-Chief, you have to understand why he lies. People don’t tell the truth for many reasons, but the UNpresident’s lies generally fall into two categories. The first are boastful and self-aggrandizing claims, such as “Only I can fix it. ” This swagger betrays a fragile self-esteem, and while outlandish and amusing, the lies are typically harmless.

The second type of lie aims to deceive others in pursuit of a specific goal. For example, we now know, from a taped interview with Bob Woodward, that Pathogen-in-Chief knew in February that the coronavirus was deadly and transmissible by air, but he lied to the public, playing down its severity and discouraging the use of masks — a calculated deception that cost untold lives. [And that, in unnecessarily squandering lives, would decisively cost him the election in a more rational nation.]

This kind of lie is emblematic of individuals with antisocial traits who have a deficit in moral conscience. But if they also have strong narcissistic traits, they are exquisitely sensitive to criticism and especially to ridicule. Derisive humor threatens to expose them for the loser they secretly believe they are."

[I'd tweak the "secretly believe" in that statement. Multiply bankrupt, multiply divorced, multiply abandoned by bus-tossed cronies, widely despised, repeatedly incorrect Dimwit-in-Chief cannot help but encounter evidence of being a genetically-doomed loser. However, his only potent struggle is against believing incontrovertible facts. DUHnocchio can't handle the truth.]
