Trumpchausen by Proxy

Not sure if you’re aware of Munchausen or Munchausen by Proxy, but it’s basically a condition in which a parent will fake illnesses on their child or children. They will create the symptoms, create the disease, have ports installed in their children, pretend cancer diagnoses, etc… you can find information about it everywhere or listen to a great podcast on it right here.

But, the main point is that, the parent will create a disease for attention and often tell the child only I understand your true symptoms and diagnosis and only I can take care of you.

I had an epiphany listening to the podcast: this is Trump. He makes up symptoms, he acts as though only he understands the true diagnosis, and only he can fix it. And the victims are all of his supporters - I don’t mean to get dramatic or to lessen the horror of legit Munchausen cases, but what Trump is doing is a form of abuse.
