Narcissism is the most misused word in the English language

Stop gaslighting me. It's triggering and causes trauma.

quote:

Trump is constantly labeled a narcissist

I think he is a narcissist, but I don't care. It takes a strong personality to put yourself in the bullshite that is national politics.

But I do agree with you that "narcissist" is the favorite diagnosis of armchair psychologists.

1. I know that in our culture it gets harder and harder to remember this, but more than one thing can be true at once, and rarely does one thing being false necessarily mean that something else is truer vice-versa. In other words, I'm sure Biden is also a narcissist, and Clinton, and Obama, and probably most people who have ever run for POTUS and/or been members of the Ruling Class.

2. All that having been said, if you don't think Donald Trump is a narcissist, you don't understand what the word means.

Won't keep me from voting for him in November (assuming he's not in prison), but seriously, he's possibly the most narcissistic celebrity ever. And that's saying something.
