Trump will be used as an example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder for decades to come.

There’s so much video. He checks the boxes for virtually every aspect of the disorder (for another topic).

Today on the Meet The Press interview we saw Narcissistic Rage.

Narcissistic rage is the intense anger that can occur when a person with a full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder experiences a blow to their self-image, status, control, or sense of superiority.

Trump is triggered when he is

* Being criticized.
* Being corrected.
* Being ignored.
* Not getting special treatment.
* Being told “no.”
* Experiencing failure or embarrassment.
* Having someone challenge their version of events.

The textbook reactions are:

* Explosive yelling or screaming.
* Personal attacks and insults.
* Humiliation or ridicule of the other person.
* Blaming everyone else.
* Refusal to accept responsibility.
* Vindictive behavior or revenge-seeking.
* Suddenly cutting someone off (“You’re dead to me.”)
* Cold, icy withdrawal and silent treatment.

He displayed all but the first one today.

Interestingly, narcissistic rage is not always loud. Today wasn’t.

The most common reactions

* Explosive rage — obvious anger. He was.
* Passive-aggressive rage — sabotage, guilt trips, silent treatment. He displayed name calling and made demeaning comments.
* Cold rage — emotional withdrawal, contempt, calculated punishment. He walked off.

NO!

Today on Meet the Press you saw the POTUS fed up with fielding propagandized BS from a duplicitous bitch.

The most narcissistic f*ck to ever come down the political pike is Odumbf*ck. No one even comes close. The truth is that if he wasn’t half black, the ignorant no-good piece of pure f*cking socialist filth would be flipping burgers at the Honolulu Burger King.

Yeah... I'm stumped that this is even news... hell, the majority of people you 'know of' but don't know (Musk, Kardashian, Springsteen, pick a name) is going to be a frikkin narcissist.

It’s a feature not a bug. No American has accomplished more than Trump.

Billionaire - top tv show for years - runs for president without ever being a politician and wins again after getting robbed - then beats lawfare and wins - gets elected a third time - and will go down as the GOAT.

* Being criticized unfairly.


Yup, people tend to get upset about that.

quote:

* Being corrected with lies.


This too. This one is especially maddening.

quote:

* Being ignored


He is the president. He should be upset if he is being ignored.

quote:

* Not getting special treatment


Trump literally never gets special treatment, especially from the media or other far-leftist people/orgs.

quote:

* Being told “no.”


When the boss tells someone to do something, and they say no, the boss tends to get upset.

Don't know what to tell you if you can not understand this one.

Scott Pelley found out.

quote:

* Experiencing failure or embarrassment.


Have yet to see an instance of this.

quote:

* Having someone challenge their version of events.


Being lied to and gaslit can indeed cause consternation and anger.

I’d think to run for office you have to be some combination of a sociopath and a narcissist

Just got to find the right balance, trumps clearly a narcissist if you’ve ever personally dealt with one it’s impossible not to see it in him

You're also describing Pelosi, Hillary, Jeffries, Waltz, Schiff, Schumer, Biden, and on and on. I call BS on your assertion.

Many CEOs and effective leaders like Trump are narcissistic. The OP doesn’t bother me.
