Messianic Megalomania: The Donald Delusions > Self-Proclaimed "Messiah" The Chosen One

From reality TV star to occupying the highest elected office in the land in just 17 months, people everywhere got a glimpse of The Donald un-glued. The opening image is the front page of New York City's hometown newspaper . . . Take a good look at who is inserted in the Leonardo DaVinci's masterpiece. It sure looks like the deceased Arizona Senator John McCain appears in the place of Judas to the left and there are three women on the front cover - one his daughter and her husband, one his Slovenian wife, and one the sister of Eric Prince, founder of special ops private contractor Blackwater. ...or is that Liz Cheney? In the background is Ben Carson, former heart surgeon who is now in charge of HUD, Housing and Urban Development.

"Mental issues" were clearly in evidence outside The White House two days ago, when the current resident of the highest office in the land proclaimed himself "The Chosen One."

Like most New Yorkers, your MesaZona blogger who had ringside seats to much of this know how much of a sociopath Trump can be - The Donald has been self-absorbed, self-deluded and wildly self-aggrandizing for decades.
The rest of the country and the world can now see what Bloomberg opinion writer Timothy L. O'Brien called Trump's shtick

"While talking to reporters on the White House lawn Wednesday about his plans for prosecuting a trade war with China, the president of the United States looked up briefly toward the heavens.

“I am the chosen one,” Donald Trump allowed.

Others had given the president gentle nudges toward divinity even before that. Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative extremist, conspiracy theorist and self-described “capitalist evangelist” who believes Jesus was the “CEO of the Christian religion,” described Trump the day before as the “second coming of God.”
Trump gratefully tweeted Root’s blessings on Wednesday morning, several hours before his White House epiphany.
Yes, of course you need a certain kind of appalling narcissism to be comfy promoting yourself as heaven-sent in a televised press briefing and as a deity on Twitter. It’s doubly unhinged when you’re doing this as president, commander-in-chief and the man who swore on Inauguration Day to “preserve, protect and defend” the country. . .
The Trump of the past few weeks is the same disordered figure of the past several decades with, I suspect, a big dollop of something new blended in: unbridled and unmanageable panic . . . "
