(1,105 posts)but my understanding of reading the different descriptions of narcissistic disorder follows. There seems to be two distinct flavors, your plain vanilla version which is amenable to therapy and can improve if the person wants to work on it.
Then there is the "malignant" version described by Dan Shaw, a psychoanalyst and the author of Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, who provides these telltale signs of malignant narcissism:
Someone who is infinitely entitled and grateful to no one.
When telling the story of his life, he leaves out any trace of his own significant misdeeds and failures.
Someone who never hesitates to lie for the purpose of self-aggrandizement.
Someone who blames others for his own errors and failures.
Someone who is erratic, thin-skinned, belligerent, and constantly engaged in attacking and belittling perceived enemies.
And in the case of malignant narcissistic leaders of cults and political movements, Shaw says, he persuades followers to see their lives before joining his group as wretched, and he claims exclusive possession of the power to transform followers lives in miraculous ways.
SOUND FAMILIAR??

tRump thinks being a dick is a sign of intelligence but I've got news for him, it ain't
I'll be surprised if he makes it two months. If he does I'm sure there will be some Thorazine coursing through his veins, maybe mellaril

(9,760 posts)But, good grief, this was clearly who he was and yet millions of Americans chose to elevate him to this position of power. That is more disturbing than the fact that he is as astoundingly awful as he is. The RW propaganda machine has done its job very, very well.
Thank goodness for the resistance.

(56,828 posts)"This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value indeed exists only insofar as it sustains and inflates him."

Genetics play an essential role in a lot of things. Height. Eye color. Health. And a recently unearthed video of Donald Trump's late mother, Mary Trump, proves that genes have a bigor, perhaps, YUUUGEpart when it comes to hair too.

(1,105 posts)If that is not some sort of horrible, creepy, psychopathic photoshoped version of his mother's picture than that actually is donny's real, honest to goodness, hair.
And here I always thought it was a hairpiece, styled in an in-comprehensive manner.
Sorry donny, I was wrong.

(13,462 posts)I couldn't be a reporter for sure, there's no way I could try to couch anything he does or says in terms that make him seem any way normal. It is just instinctive to hear him and KNOW without a doubt that there is something very wrong with this guy!!!!! It has to take a lot of effort to make him seem like anything but bat-shit-crazy.

(23,097 posts)It's either love for himself or hate for anything or any person other than himself. Caveat - if the other person just praised him, Drumpf will praise them back, even if they are murderers. It's always all about him.
