Trump sure is a complex merkin. As psychology.com (sister site of the ever reliable law.com) put it ...
‘He dabbles in scapegoating, is degrading, ridiculing, and demeaning to his rivals and critics. He fosters fear and anger, promises to solve our problems if we just trust in him, reinvents history and has little concern for truth (and) sees no need for rational persuasion.’
‘Narcissism impairs his ability to see reality. So you can't use logic to persuade someone like that. Three million women marching? Doesn't move him. Advisers point out that a policy choice didn't work? He won't care. The maintenance of self-identity is the organizing principle of life for those who fall toward the pathological end of the narcissistic spectrum.’
He displays classic symptoms associated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, including a grandiose sense of self-importance, requiring excessive admiration, a sense of entitlement. So boil it all down: We have a President who only believes something is true if it praises him. Everything else is fake news to him. Psychologists know what that is: It's a dangerous, pathological detachment from reality.’
