” (Kathleen Parker, July 3): As a survivor of a wildly unstable, narcissistic adult during childhood, having Donald Trump as president is nothing short of one long looping nightmarish flashback. His latest CNN episode depicting him physically attacking a member of the media has provided additional evidence of his grossly underdeveloped problem-solving skills and truncated coping strategies.
