In Scaramucci on symmetry<\/a>, I quoted James Fallows<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I argue that \u201cprojection,\u201d in the psychological sense, is the default explanation for anything Donald Trump says or does.<\/p>\n

Projection means deflecting any criticism (or half-conscious awareness) of flaws in yourself by accusing someone else of exactly those flaws. Is Trump\u2019s most immediately obvious trait his narcissistic and completely ungoverned temperament? (Answer: yes.) By the logic of projection, it thus makes perfect sense that he would brag that he has \u201cthe greatest temperament\u201d and judgment, and criticize the always-under-control Hillary Clinton for hers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh dear, and Donald Trump<\/strong>, according to the sworn testimony of Michael Cohen<\/strong>, his personal attorney, in Federal Court<\/strong>, caused considerable moneys to be paid to at least two young ladies, one a porn star and director, the other a Playboy Playmate of the Year<\/strong> if that falls under a different category, to buy their respective silences on his alleged affairs with them, the payments being made in time to avoid any sordid revelations in the immediate run-up to the 2016 election..<\/p>\n

Time, methinks, for the Enquirer<\/strong> to rerun that front page with a few of the details switched to reflect the Federal-bench-approved Truth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
