An empty threat. Narcissists love to bluff. It’s one of their favorite tools of manipulation. Fortunately, Speaker Pelosi is on to him. It’s clear to me that she has read the literature about narcissistic personality disorder. It’s extremely difficult, almost impossible, not to be manipulated by a narcissist. I’m not sure most people realize what a difficult feat she has accomplished here.
