Democrats and their deep state allies and politically correct left-wing press mouthpieces have insisted for over two years that the President and his team colluded with Russians to steal the 2016 election and then engaged in obstruction of justice to cover it up.

Entitlement, grandiosity, arrogance overlying insecurity, sensitivity to criticism, as well as hunger for acclaim are traits identified by Jerrold M. Post, George Washington University professor of psychiatry and political psychology.
