The dullest assertion you can make about Donald Trump is that he’s a narcissist who has no interest in the American people and only cares about himself. Competent pundits don’t waste wordage on such an over-obvious observation.
Less obvious, though more so since last week’s dog’s dinner presidential debate – in the aftermath of which dubbing the encounter ‘elder abuse’ went from droll witticism to exhausted cliché in a few hours – is that Joe Biden’s narcissism rivals Trump’s and may even exceed it.
The Bidens’ decision to contest this race was arrogant and criminally oblivious to the country’s future
Early in his 2020 run, Biden indicated to apparatchiks in private that if he was victorious in the forthcoming election, he would assume the presidency (at the ripe old age that Trump is now) as a caretaking one-termer, who would restore sanity to the Oval Office and then hand the baton to the next generation.
