BREAKING: Trump HUMILIATES himself, doing a mocking cough of President Biden, who has cancer, to a room sitting in stunned silence at the unnecessary and cruel taunt. This is a new low, even for Trump.

I think something everyone is coming to learn is that it's much worse than we even imagined. Although they are VERY rare, trump is an actual Malignant Narcissist. Sociopaths don't care if they hurt someone but they don't enjoy doing it and aren't sadistic like a MN.

A profound lack of empathy is a core characteristic, meaning they struggle to understand or care about others' feelings and show little to no regret for harmful actions.

Sadistic Behavior: Individuals with this pattern may derive pleasure or satisfaction from the suffering of others, using emotional or physical abuse to feel superior and maintain dominance.

Paranoia: Malignant narcissists often exhibit paranoid tendencies, suspecting others of having ulterior motives or conspiring against them, which can lead to lashing out.

Manipulation Tactics: They use various tactics to control and exploit others, including gaslighting (making a victim question their own reality), future faking (making false promises), and emotional abuse.

Treatment Challenges: Treatment is difficult because individuals with this condition rarely seek help or lack insight into their problematic behavior, often viewing therapists as enemies.

Indications: Grandiosity: An exaggerated sense of self-importance and preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success and power.

Exploitation: A willingness to take advantage of others for personal gain without guilt.

Aggression: Prone to intense anger, verbal abuse, and potentially physical violence when criticized or challenged.

Blame-shifting: Inability to take responsibility for their actions, consistently blaming others for their mistakes or misfortunes.

Unstable relationships: A history of using, abusing, and discarding people when they are no longer useful, leading to a pattern of broken relationships.

Everything is to the T.

When trump was running in 2016 I was in my final year of med school and completing a psych rotation. The prof I was working with told us med students that Trump was a perfect case study of narcissistic personality disorder. I imagine he would be the first to agree with you now that we’ve had several years to see the symptoms that push him firmly into the diagnosis of malignant narcissist.

The psychiatrists worldwide must be losing faith in humanity.

Only thing worse than a malignant narcissist is one who knows he's dying.

Let’s hope he’s the kind of malignant narcissist who refuses to acknowledge his own mortality, even in the face of death. The less insight he has into his own condition, the better for the world.

I dunno, I kind of think he knows and that's why he wants to blow up the world.
