Yes, one has to guess that they just do not discuss/agree to disagree.. or something. That would be a bridge too far for me, on principle and moral grounds. Maybe they live in separate wings? James Carvill and Mary Matilin came before them and seem to make it work. Opposites attract? (I dunno, that's never been a turn on for me). They have said they do not discuss politics at home.

That inability to admit mistakes, the rejection of accountability...it left a mark after she was gone. It didn't help that she got our PI wrapped around her finger. Her post-doc when down in a flaming ruin because her new boss had more backbone and didn't let her get away with her crap.
My run-in involved a woman who ran rough-shod over our parish and left devastation in her wake. She then moved on to create havoc somewhere else.
Incidentally, I read an article the other day discussing how therapists are seeing an increasing number of children of narcissists (who are now adults) for symptoms of PTSD because Trump is re-triggering their trauma due to the chaos, constant lying, and his unhinged behavior.

This is simply incredible, isn't it? The purpose of the press briefing is so that the White House/our government is answerable to we, the people. The White House is supposed to be a servant of the people. We, the taxpayer, should be informed of what is being done with our money. This is (part of) the problem with having a 'businessman' in the White House.. he doesn't think he is accountable to anyone except himself. He would have been ousted from any reputable company a loooong time ago. Mad ramblings, indeed. Insanity. They say he loves to watch videos from his rallies and he replays his (self described) moments of brilliance and genius. You know, since he doesn't have weightier things to do, other than golf and listen to the mad ramblings of Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories from Rudy Giuliani.
