Pinocchio was a wooden puppet who wanted to become a real live boy. If he met certain conditions he would. He did. Can Trump?

The puppet Pinocchio was brought to life in puppet form by a blue fairy and was told that if he could prove himself to be BRAVE, TRUTHFUL and UNSELFISH he would become human. He went astray for awhile and told lies and his nose grew longer and longer with each lie. But in the end he proved himself to be brave, truthful and unselfish and his wish was granted. His nose was returned to its normal size and he never again told any lies. Is Trump too old to transition from wooden puppet to human being? He must be brave (not hide behind tweets), truthful (no alternative facts allowed) and unselfish (no more ME FIRST). Is he too old, too rigid, too uncaring to make the transition from wooden puppet to human being? Pinoccio had Jiminy Cricket as a conscience and Gepetto who loved him dearly. Who is Trump's conscience and who loves him dearly enough to fight him so that he too can become human? "Fairy tales do come true it can happen to you if you're young at heart". Does Trump have a heart? One wonders.

    Too mentally ill. Remember the words "malignant narcissist." At this point our best hope is containment.
