In all seriousness, Trump suffers from malignant narcissism, a " a psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial behavior, aggression, and sadism. Grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels, the malignant narcissist undermines families and organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate." The publication Psychology Today described it as follows:
[quote]What does “malignant narcissist” mean? And can such a label that has been used to describe figures such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin be appropriately applied to Trump or anyone short of a murderous tyrant?
The term "malignant narcissism" was coined by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in 1964. Fromm, a Holocaust survivor, suggested that malignant narcissism is a severe and destructive pathology that can lie at the heart of the inhumane acts exhibited by dictatorial tyrants such as Hitler and Stalin.
The concept of malignant narcissism was expanded by psychiatrist Otto Kernberg, who termed it a toxic combination of four highly dysfunctional traits and behaviors:
1. Narcissism, with its grandiosity, lack of empathy, need for attention, and sense of entitlement. 2. Antisocial behavior, with its lack of remorse, destructive and impulsive behavior, deceitfulness, and disregard for and violation of the rights of others. 3. Paranoid thinking, with its sense of persecution, difficulty trusting others, preoccupation with others' loyalty, tendency to bear grudges, and tendency to view benign actions of others as attempts at deception or exploitation. 4. Sadism, with its cruelty, efforts to humiliate or manipulate others, and deriving enjoyment from others' pain and suffering.[/quote]
Trump clearly exhibits all four traits and behaviors. Treatment is not often successful, because malignant narcissists believe they are smarter than any doctor or psychiatrist, and do not recognize that they even have a problem. Trump will be a malignant narcissist until the day he dies. It is important that he be convicted through the impeachment process and prevented from running for any federal office in the future.
Nope he just is narcissistic and wants to grab power and become a dictator and takes Arab leaders for reference. He has high respect for Saudi Arabia king and referred to the Egyptian president as his favourite dictator. He feels horrible because he'll never be like them despite having been the president of the most powerful country on earth.
@questionWeaver Lol funny a friend warned me about you but I told them nope that person is nice to me. It's cool though you don't have to agree with me.
@SW-User I guess you haven't been watching his public appearances or listening to his plans to govern or watching his cabinet appointees. For the first time in four years, we are going to have competent people in cabinet positions.
He's beyond salvageable I am afraid.. his meanness, inability to be humble or to consider thoughts, opinions, ideas and information outside that of his very tiny mind.
I feel like he couldn't stop focusing on headlines enough to properly do his job...
He always wanted to be in the news... and a number of people would point this out, that even when the media would stop talking about him, is exactly when he'd go out and do something controversial publicly again...
He wanted the headlines and be focused on, then complain about the negative coverage...
He did a lot more of that, traveling and golf than he did acting presidential.
I believe he has serious mental problems and needs help, but I also believe that he lacks a moral compass and is totally incapable of feeling empathy for anyone.
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Those memes are from the folks who [b]ignored[/b] the 19 women who accused Trump. Biden has actually [b]apologized[/b] to people—has Trump ? He only denied raping E. Jean Carroll because he “didn’t find her attractive” ! 😳
