As much as I am enjoying the hilarity of Barry’s bizarre remark,
it’s tempered by the fact that this guy is the Commander in Chief.
And he’s acting more and more inappropriately in public.
We can only imagine how he’s behaving in private.
He looks like he is decompensating with more and more public episodes of paranoia
and disorganized thinking .
Asking who’s ass to kick, speaking about sucking oil with a straw and diving down to seal the well ,
blurting out that Malia is starting to look too old for him
and now this extremely weird comment.
Some literature notes that patients with
untreated narcissistic personality disorder can have psychotic episodes.
All kidding aside, our country may be at a very dangerous point ,
with an increasingly frustrated and unstable POTUS.
The unnerving dilemma is that he can’t be removed from office
on psychiatric grounds until he does something horrendous.
And by then, it may be too late.
Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective. They are focused on one thing alone and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do not deserve their attention.
Narcissists have an almost surreal power to manipulate others. They can literally charm their adversaries and turn them into cheerful scullion, who will even thank them for giving them the privilege to slave for them.
The followers get their narcissistic supply by elevating the status of their leader. The greater he looks, the better they feel. They see their glory is his glory. Conversely, when the narcissist is criticized, his followers become offended. They take those criticisms personally and their instinct of self defense is triggered. They will become vigilantes and will silence their critics through intimidation, bullying, mocking, threats and violence (like calling those who disagree with Obama, racists).
There is no cure for narcissism. However, deprived of adulation, the disorder will remain dormant. The narcissist, without the narcissistic supply, may become grumpy and complain that the world does not understand them or appreciate their importance. They will continue to cheat and lie when they can get away with it, but the damage that they can cause is not earth shattering. However, when a narcissist becomes the focus of unlimited narcissistic supply, where millions of people scream at his feet, he goes insane.
