I still like my idea of every agreeable media posting a HUGE headline in bold red face, above a pic of him, saying, simply: "LOSER!" after Congress has finally ended the mayhem.
It will be his absolute worst nightmare come to fruition, and it maaay just drive him over the edge into one of those secure facilities.
Narcissists crave attention of any kind, good or bad, but while they want everyone's adulation they will settle for approbation if that is all they can get. What he would hate most of all would be for the media to ignore him. If you don't believe this is true, consider his recent tweet storms against magazines because they are not putting his wife's photos on their covers. Ignoring him is far more likely to some action that will put him away for good. Sadly that includes the risk he might do something that would cost innocent lives.
What I don't understand is how many otherwise intelligent U.S. citizens are buying his, and the Russian social media campaign's, propaganda.
First off, those tweets were triggered by a post by Breitbart's fashion "guru," not his own addled thought processes.
To the point, though, I think you're oversimplifying his state of mind.
Beyond his narcissism, I see him as living in abject fear of losing...losing anything...having to admit defeat...ever. His being a winner is an integral part of his brand, and his being re-branded "LOSER!" would strike right to the heart of that fear. It's his greatest vulnerability.
Yes, he does crave attention, but I very much doubt that attention of that sort would feed his ego.
I think ignoring him would be a wonderful way of dealing with him after branding him a loser.
