      I think that is the least of his problems – the fact he is a rapist and pedo who has been implicated in multiple murders might be more relevant.

      This is a guy who sends a signed photo of his hands every year to a photo journalist that made fun of his small hands once.

      I mean, of course. He’s a narcissist. He HAS to be the greatest and best person in the world, or else his worldview collapses.

      To that end, he HAS to win in every situation, because the greatest and best person in the world wouldn’t just lose.

      So if you criticize him, he doesn’t win. That means he ISN’T the greatest and best person in the world.

      What that means is if you criticize him, he will either ignore you, insult you or belittle you in some way, until you admit you were wrong.

      As a personal example, I was loading a narcissist’s dishwasher, and we had what I thought was a polite disagreement about how the silverware should be loaded. I happily loaded the silverware the way she wanted, but the narcissist spent the next month looking up sources, compiled them into a report that she gave to me and then insulted me and my family for loading the silverware the wrong way.

      This is Trump’s playbook, only without doing the research. If you disagree with him for any reason, you’re wrong, and you can either admit you were wrong or get kicked out of his inner circle entirely.

      Trump doesn’t want good information, and he doesn’t like conflicting opinions. He just wants yes men to say how great he is.

      I read most of Mary Trump’s book, and it was obvious that he was totally f’d before puberty.

      I’m not saying his parents are the sole people to blame for who he turned out to be, but Trump is a textbook example of how not to raise a child.

      he is a psychopath.

      a severe personality pattern within Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), marked by a core of shallow emotions (lack of empathy, guilt, remorse) and manipulative, callous, impulsive, and antisocial behaviors, often hidden by superficial charm, leading to significant life disruption. Psychopathy involves extreme traits like grandiosity, pathological lying, and poor behavioral control, distinguishing it as a more intense form of ASPD, particularly in forensic and clinical risk assessment.
