There's a marvelous line from Jonathan Swift that I thought of after seeing Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer and Alec Baldwin as Trump. "...satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own."
Most of us have a hard time laughing at ourselves. Trump seems to take this truism to an extreme, taking umbrage at the smallest slights, threatening legal action over inconsequential actions. If he were a private person this would be annoying; as President it is alarming.
