    It’s cause and effect, lol. All Trump can see is the attention Carter will be getting, not the reason, and he has to strike back because in his warped worldview Carter is stealing eyes from him. Never mind that the reason all eyes are on Carter is because the man just lost his best friend and wife of 77 years – actually, that level of personal success at marriage probably just makes Trump hate him even more.

    That’s why I think it’s fantastic that the news will be full of the Carters and the Carter legacy: Trump can’t avoid it, it will be everywhere he goes, and he can’t stand it so he has to lash out. At this point I don’t think the particular POV of the reporting will make much difference since we’ve all already made up our minds, and no one actually expects Trump to exhibit a human conscience anymore.

    I just dig all the coverage because the whole thing is a wide shovel up Trump’s narcissistic, endlessly solipsist ass.
