Trump 'Concession' Suggests Narcissistic Personality Disorder

If you think President Richard Nixon was paranoid to the point of having an enemies list, consider the Donald J. Trump statement following his crushing defeat by Sen. Ted Cruz in the Wisconsin primary. Trump did not make the statement personally, lest he provide enough ad hominem sound bites to last a generation. Rather he and his myth of invincibility hid from the camera he usually loves. The statement blaming his loss on everybody and everything but himself, and with the first word after his name being a lie, reads...

Tump's stated top three responsibilities for the US government: "Security, health care, education".

How many of those are the Constitutional duties of the Federal Government?

One.

That, generally speaking, is the problem; a big part the reason for our huge debt. Get the Federal Government out of the things it has no Constitutional authority to be doing, and much of what is holding America back will go away.

"I see you both failed Junior High Civics classes and are not truthful."

Actually, I did quite well in all my Junior High classes (I had an A average). And, the only times I've ever been accused of being a liar has been by someone projecting his own failings on me. I wouldn't be surprised if that record is continuing.

Yet you messed up forgetting that the generic term United States Government term is inclusive of all 50 states governments. To be only Federal government the term is United States Federal government or simply the Federal government. So Trump was right.

Personality disorders are rarely single issues and, yes, there are degrees. Don’t know if anyone put this up yet but here are the symptoms.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

Requires excessive admiration

Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Trump, on the other hand is a malignant narcicist which is considered extreme and at times dangerous when in a position of power.

He owns and operates a giant business. What suggests he's behaved dangerously under those conditions?

[Jay Thomas]

I think this answer was more of a “none of your freaking business” response.

[Jay Thomas]

What’s the evidence for this behavior? When he changed from letting Syrians in to keeping them out, this was considered by many to be a flip flop. Can narcissists flip flop?

[Jay Thomas]

Thanks for checking in with your petulant rhetoric. It’s raised the bar on this discussion.

[higgmeister]

WOW FRiend. That is gonna leave a mark, and rightly so.

BRAVO.

I humbly tip my hat to you, Mark Jessup, for all that you do here.

As per my earlier posting...

“The group of malignant narcissists are different from normal human beings in that they have no conscience, no remorse, no guilt, no ability to feel pity or compassion for others.”

[Jay Thomas]

they have no conscience, no remorse, no guilt, no ability to feel pity or compassion for others

How does this apply to Trump?

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

Well then, I guess I'll have to vote for Kasich, and boy howdy, I'm not happy about that.

[mkjessup]

WOW FRiend. That is gonna leave a mark, and rightly so.
BRAVO.

I humbly tip my hat to you, Mark Jessup, for all that you do here.

Well thank you, I would hasten to add that my efforts are only a consolidation of many of my fellow FReepers (like you) who provide a continuing source of encouragement and support.

I've been remiss in not including more information on my FR page as you have done, you sound like quite the traveler, something I've always enjoyed, and it's always good to find a fellow Churchill admirer who like the great man, saw Islam exactly as it is.

My very best to you and yours Friend.

[mkjessup]

That last line should have been ‘FRiend’ ;)

With Trump you get a better then 50/50 shot at the wall built, Hillary prosecuted, common core eliminated, A strong military our vets taken care of, The Religious gag order repealed and up to 5 conservative judges on the USSC, etc.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No, the answer was from a man whose ego is too big.

[Jay Thomas]

OK then.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Trump is a billionaire businessman. How is his “narcissism” unhealthy?

If you’ve never read “Art of the Deal” you’re just a narcissistic airhead flapping your gums about something you know nothing about.
