Trump is a malignant narcissist suffering from dementia. Everything he says is most likely in no way related to reality, so please stop reporting and posting crap about what Trump is saying.
Oh, but they never will, the news media hasn’t stopped talking about Trump since before 2016. It’s been a decade of Trump. Stay prepared for more. They won’t stop now, not while he’s still got a pulse.
Absolutely the media are highly complicit in Trump winning the election both times. And the media are owned by the 1%.
USA is not a functioning democracy.
I’d like to gently push back on some of that. Most of his abhorrent behaviour can be explained by narcissism and the fact that he’s 80 years old. You wouldn’t expect someone that old with poor sleeping schedule while eating exclusively fast food to be cognitively sharp. Also on the label malignant: this has a specific meaning as a qualifier for narcissistic personality disorder. In short:
narcissism: clearly met. Being admired for his imagined business acumen is his highest goal.
anti-social: met but can be explained in function of narcissism itself.
paranoia: I’m not seeing it.
sadism: I see suffering in the wake of his destructive path but it seems more a consequence than a goal per se.
There are some commentors who claim that his lack of inhibition and poor impulse-control and capriciousness and short attention span is better explained by ADHD.
Things are what they are, that he is a malignant political force and basically a stinking sack of shit is clear but it is not useful to attribute additional labels to him that can be explained with what we know already as it would muddy the waters and give your statement less weight.
Really? Trump is super paranoid, he literally believes when he claims there’s witch hunt against him. Also your list is not the most important things, the malignant narcissist is an extreme psychopath and 100% Trump has zero empathy.
better explained by ADHD
I disagree, what looks like ADHD is his narcissism combined with stupidity. Trump is a very stupid guy, there was even a teacher that claimed he was the stupidest pupil he ever had.
Maybe he has ADHD, but that’s trivial and irrelevant compared to the rest.
Good points.
On the paranoia: is this also not more likely due to narcissistic injury? My impression is that paranoia in context of such personality disorders is more often preemptive and constant rather then reactionary due to his bubble of grandiosity being burst.
On the ADHD: either it is part or it isn’t but I disagree that it is trivial. We’re trying to make sense of this cheese brain and it should help us (voting world population) to better understand the tendency of self-absorbed people, like he, getting positions of power aiding our democratical collapse.
I see no signs of ADHD, and if there are any, they are very minor, so yes that is absolutely a minor concern compared to him being a raving malignant narcissist.
If you see Trump speeches from 40 years ago, it is very evident that he does NOT have ADHD, back then he was perfectly coherent and could stay on track for hours. People with ADHD cannot do that.
The fact that he can’t do it now, doesn’t mean he has ADHD it means he has dementia.
He has literally said he will target people who vote against him. He reduced Medicare funding in blue states, deployed ICE in blue cities. How is that not targeted harm as part of the goal?
Paranoia may actually be met, don’t know if it’s confirmed or not but I’ve heard his love of fast food may in part be so he doesn’t get poisoned. Honestly though given how many people he has pissed off over the decades that may actually be the most rational course of action.
You can only laugh so much over how stupid USA and Trump are. I’m way past the laughing phase. And there is more than enough material without taking something with as little importance as this.
Well you see, history always repeats itself if you wait long enough. I can almost guarantee that there will eventually be another Trump and that people will once again vote for him.

In his first run Trump got more coverage in the press than every other candidate combined.
You are right, it’s mostly wishful thinking, I bet when he dies they will write about his children. 🤮
They’re complicit with him and they put all their eggs in his basket, they have to keep trying to spin this.

Everyone in the deep state knows that Donald Trump isn’t paranoid.
Those bastards in Canada and the EU have really been out to get him for a long time.
Just ask the people in Greenland. They’ll tell you about all of the secret military exercises being conducted over their shores.

No, please post, this is too funny. It needs to be remembered by history so we don’t repeat it
