Trump's Mental Disorder: Textbook Narcissm

I really don't think I am rich. But he was no threat to me. So who was he a threat to?

 

Most people who put loads of money into campaigning for political office tend to be narcissists. They are able to convince themselves and truly believe that they'll do the "best job" anyone has ever done, they'll be the greatest thing to have ever happened to the office they're running for, and then once elected, they end up not following through for any of their campaign promises. How is this any different from Obama, Bush or Clinton?

 

Good, so go ahead and elect another incompetent idiot. The world is laughing at you hysterically.

 

Narcissists are dangerous. With their lack of empathy they are on a continuum with Anti Social personality disorder and psychopaths. People who are attracted to them are generally people who are co-dependent, neither of them feeling they are a person without the other. Kinda sad there are so many US people attracted by this narcissism.

 

You are calling Abraham Lincoln "another incompetent idiot"? No my friend, it is not me th world is laughing at hysterically

 

Millions of (mostly) poor non-white Americans, possibly including Kiki Camarena

"Two former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents and a former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency contract pilot are claiming that the Reagan Administration was complicit in the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena at the hands of Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero..."

"About five months later, on Feb. 7, 1985, Camarena was kidnapped in Mexico by agents of the Federal Security Directorate (DFS by its Spanish acronym), which the former DEA agents say were both the eyes and ears of the CIA in Mexico and at the same time at the beck and call of Mexico’s powerful drug cartels.

"According to Plumlee, the DEA agent had written a series of memos complaining about official lethargy in bringing the gunrunning operation under control.

“Kiki said, ‘What do we have to do, does someone have to get killed to do something about this?’” Plumlee said."

Reagan was another useful idiot in service to the greatest purveyor of violence in this world.

 

Who determines what the value of our production should be? Skilled labor still pays pretty nicely, I think. People wouldn't bother with it if it didn't.

Slaves, on the other hand, get nothing for their labor, and they're not even free to live and work as they please. There is no comparison.

 

Trump is not a narcissist.

 

Well we have just had a program which seems to suggest otherwise 'The Mad World of Donald Trump' which I caught a little of. He appears to have that compulsive controlling personality which goes crazy with hate if he does not manage to get his own way which is part and parcel of a narcissist and whether that be directed at people in Scotland who he wants out of their homes or young women who interviewed him, in particular Selena Scott with whom he appeared to be obsessively believing that his fantasy of her was reality which is another problem with narcissists and I think linked to their inability to have empathy. Because of this inability they are unable to imagine that anyone is any different than their imagination. This could be an extremely dangerous characteristic in a President in the current world - probably always. The program did wonder why any women would vote for him and also suggested his popularity is due to the sad state the US is in where it has moved from a country of 'hope and change' to 'fear and loathing'. Very concerning that what is still the most dominant country in the world may vote on 'fear and loathing' but sadly sounds correct.

 

Apparently Frei has no problem with ANOTHER narcissist

the segment from former BBC correspondent Matt Frei (now with ITN) actually put Chavez in a "top three" of immortality with Jesus Christ: - See more at: http://www.newsbusters.org/journalists/matt-frei#sthash.iIiTNwqf.dpuf

 

Ronald Reagan was not crude..

 

Slaves who think they're free because they have a choice between selling their labor for less than its worth or joining the reserve army of unemployed really aren't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery#Capitalism

"To Marx and anarchist thinkers like Bakunin and Kropotkin, wage slavery was a class condition in place due to the existence of private property and the state.

"This class situation rested primarily on:
the existence of property not intended for active use,
the concentration of ownership in few hands,
the lack of direct access by workers to the means of production and consumption goods,
the perpetuation of a reserve army of unemployed workers..."

 

Wages are economic reality, not "slavery."

 

The question is who determines wage reality.

"Some anti-capitalist thinkers claim that the elite maintain wage slavery and a divided working class through their influence over the media and entertainment industry,[51][52] educational institutions, unjust laws, nationalist and corporate propaganda, pressures and incentives to internalize values serviceable to the power structure, state violence, fear of unemployment[53] and a historical legacy of exploitation and profit accumulation/transfer under prior systems, which shaped the development of economic theory:

"Adam Smith noted that employers often conspire together to keep wages low, and have the upper hand in conflicts between workers and employers..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery#Treatment_in_various_economic_systems

 

Employers can conspire all they like, doesn't mean they'll succeed.

 

His attackers certainly were.

 

He left Hitler off the list. He's got to say Trump is like Hitler!

 

In fact Ronnie was famous for being liked, and joking. He used humor to make his point. Meanwhile Trump just insults people, and hardly in a humorous way like Don Rickles.

Also true.

 

a) I don't know whether Chavez was a narcissist and even if he was he is not who we are discussing.

b) Narcissism is a personality disorder as I said earlier part of the family which includes anti social personality disorder and the psychopath all linked by their lack of empathy. This means a lack of access to their inner feeling self - it is a real personality disorder and as such an extremely dangerous person to have as President of the most powerful country in the world. As I said in the post you are answering, that documentary illustrated that he does indeed have the characteristics of such a personality disorder in particular the need to control and the vengeful hateful attitude when he does not get his own way - a very dangerous characteristic for anyone ruling a country to have and clearly someone who is unlikely to be able to keep their balance in tricky situations which is essential that a President have - when this goes along with the current psychological situation of the US described as one of 'fear and loathing' then yes, it is understandable that such would want to vote for a narcissist or anti social personality or psychopath for President but it remains extremely worrying and dangerous for the world.

 

Employers buy politicians in order to ensure their success.

Not much evidence of Obama endlessly talking about how wonderful and rich and accomplished he is personally. On the other hand Trump does it continuously. Not sure whether this is a sign of narcissism or just a shrewd evaluation of the personal insecurities of his supporters.

 

Can you name one difference between Adolph and Donny?

"During the war, Hitler served in France and Belgium in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment.

"He was an infantryman in the 1st Company during the First Battle of Ypres (October 1914), which is remembered in Germany as the Kindermord bei Ypern (Massacre of the Innocents) because approximately 40,000 men (between a third and a half) of nine newly enlisted infantry divisions were killed in 20 days.

"Hitler's regiment entered the battle with 3600 men and at its end mustered 611.[5]

"The regimental commander was killed and thereafter they were known as the Regiment List in his honor.

"By December Hitler's own company of 250 was reduced to 42.

It's an easy question to answer. If he tries, the people that surround him [and oppose him] will take him down immediately. The figurehead has little power in reality without an obedient whip.

 

Politicians don't set wages.

 

I've heard that Trump overestimates himself, and that his supporters do likewise. He was born into wealth and hasn't been the most successful at growing it himself.
