The Entire Trump White House is Nuts

It has been suggested more than once that The Stain suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.  I'm no psychologist, but we may be seeing something as-yet uncatalogued by the DSM-V: mass narcissistic personality disorder.  In this case, manifested in a large (but, thankfully it seems, shrinking) number of people who share the unwavering belief that The Stain is the greatest person/President ever, in contradiction of all evidence to the contrary.

In addition to the roughly 63 million Americans who voted for The Stain, there's new White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who insisted that the crowd for Friday's inauguration was positively YUUUUGE!!!!:

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Saturday accused the media of misrepresenting the crowd at Donald Trump's inauguration in order to dampen enthusiasm for the event, getting some numbers wrong himself in the process.

“This was the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration, period,” Spicer said with emphasis. “Both in person and around the globe.”

He accused the media of "deliberately false reporting" both with regard to photos of the crowd that were published as well as crowd estimates.

Um, okay Sean.  I'm just eyeballing it here, but . . . .

The top photo was taken shortly before noon on Obama's first inauguration in 2009, while the bottom photo was taken at the same time of day on Friday.  It sure LOOKS like the bottom photo has several thousand fewer people.

So Spicer is suffering from The Stain's mass narcissistic personality disorder.  Kellyanne Conway on the other hand --- a high-ranking adviser for The Stain, and part-time Woody the Woodpecker impersonator --- is clearly suffering from cognitive dissonance.  On the one hand, she can look at these photos and recognize that The Stain drew a much smaller crowd.  On the other hand, it seems, she can't reconcile that fact with her unshakeable belief that The Stain is the best, the biggest, the greatest, THE YUGEST, and so she was forced to conclude that BOTH ideas qualify as 'facts':

Senior Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway said in an interview Sunday morning that White House press secretary Sean Spicer wasn't lying about crowd size at the President's inauguration—he was just giving "alternative facts."

I knew I'd seen such comically inept government spokespeople before, but it took me a while to remember exactly where and when.  But then I figured it out:
