Tony Schwartz: Trump Is ‘Prepared to Blow up American Democracy’ To Get His Sense of Self Back

‘He’s chasing the high and the presidency was the final high he could reach for and it’s scary how he is going to respond if he’s not going to get it’

SCHWARTZ: "He lives in kind of tinny narcissistic bubble or echo chamber where he rarely sees beyond it. And he is prepared -- this is what's most scary --  he is prepared to blow up American democracy if that's what it takes to get a sense of self back. And I say that in a sense that he's making all these claims about rigged elections which have the potential to really become incendiary. So that's actually something that's extraordinary about him, the almost complete self-absorption."
