"You say that he wants to be liked, he wants to be loved, he wants to be admired, but, good lord. I mean, have you ever seen someone going about wanting to be liked by behaving the way he does? By insulting people, by diminishing people, by behaving the way he does? It's just, the pathology is so bizarro to me, Couric said."
"I think part of the attacks is that it will please other people. It's a crowd pleaser when he cuts down a reporter, or when he goes out and says the things that he says about his political opponents. I mean the stuff he has said about Biden. I mean, we've never seen a president say that sort of thing about a former president."
"I'm sorry, I've kind of gone beyond trying to be impartial here because his behavior is so beyond the pale. This autopenso he places presidential portraits on the hallway leading to the Oval Office. And the one he puts up of Joe Biden is an autopen. I mean, it's so sophomoric, but it's also just so creepy. I mean, what is that?"
President Donald Trump appears driven by a desire to be liked and admired while frequently insulting and diminishing others. The behavior includes cutting down reporters and making extraordinary remarks about political opponents and former presidents. Those attacks operate as crowd-pleasers that aim to please supporters. There is no adherence to traditional restraint between current and former presidents. An autopen portrait of Joe Biden was placed among presidential images, a move described as sophomoric and creepy. The cumulative conduct was judged beyond the pale, leading to abandonment of attempts at impartiality when addressing the president.
