Our own Narcissus

Manhattan: After reading the letter from Voicer Katherine Moloney, I am surprised Trump’s actions weren’t highlighted more by the media. The man claims to love his country and wraps himself in the flag, yet was absent from the solemn ceremonies for 9/11 in his hometown. He did, however, manage a visit to the local police precinct on the pretense of a remembrance of the day but wasted no time in turning it into a campaign stop with his usual complaining about a fixed election, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, etc. Not for one day could he put his divisiveness aside. All the other living presidents managed to attend observances offering messages of hope and compassion to the American people. As usual, he made it all about his narcissistic self. He never seems to miss an opportunity to further his self-interest. The country and the world were watching. How sad for him. How sad for us.
