Bush has never dealt with reality or truth since his youth. He was born into privilege, his Poppy got him into Yale, despite dismal grades (and I'm sure test scores), from where he barely graduated. During the Vietnam war, Poppy got him a plum spot in the TX Air National Guard (despite the long waiting list), from which "W" was AWOL, yet never punished for failure to fulfill his duty. "W" had one business venture fail after another under his "management." Each time, one of Poppy's friends bailed "W" out, paid him off, and got rid of him. He was a boozer, druggie, party-boy, who never worked a day in his life, never waited for anything, got everything he wanted, and never had to play by any rules. He'd change the rules to skew a certain win, as "W" could not lose. He's been a narcissist, and psychopath his entire life. While playing the "victim" or blaming others, in fact, he's made blunder after blunder. No one at any time has held "W" accountable, and he always managed to be rewarded for his faults, poor decisions, and misdeeds. He'll never concede he did anything wrong to his dying breath. About the only thing Bush has ever been good at is bullying, lying, and obfuscating the truth, so his own "talking points" and revisionist stories are told. He has committed treason (outing a CIA agent), subverted the Constitution (illegal warrantless surveillance, torture), and engaged in gross profiteering for himself and cabinet members (cronyism, no-bid contracts, looting the treasury), and made the worst decisions as the "Decider-In-Chief." Bush isn't delusional, he's a sociopathic liar, playing the victim, while he inflicts suffering upon everyone else.
