Long social media rants are hardly rare occurrences for President Donald Trump, but on Thursday, he posted a particularly striking ― and lengthy ― tirade against several right-wing personalities who have expressed their disagreement with his actions on Iran.
Using words like “losers,” “nut jobs” and “troublemakers,” he targeted once-close allies like media personalities Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump also called them “low IQ,” “nasty” and “crazy,” and attacked their looks and intelligence as he lashed out in response to their criticism of the war in Iran.
This kind of public outburst can feel troubling and disproportionate to the situation, but there’s a term that may help explain it: narcissistic collapse.

I think the pit is bottomless.
Just watched the relevant clip from The Daily Show. Jon Stewart also thinks it looks like Jon Stewart.
Sounds very plausible to me.
