http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/11/donald-trump-narcissism-therapists

To me it does seem like Trump is narcissistic, at least in some ways (and as a Christian, I take psychology's notions with a big grain of salt), but what the secular humanists ignore is that most if not virtually all of our politicians are these days; the public is well-aware of that and is not fooled by the pols' talk of describing each other as dedicated "public servants," and Trump is therefore seems refreshingly candid since he is openly narcissistic. Given that the public expects narcissistic politicians, whether their artful about disguising their true motives or not, they look beyond the narcissism to what the politicians say their policies will be, and make judgments on that basis. This article, though, predictably attacks Trump supporters at its end.

As a Christian, I have more concern about Trump saying he's never needed God's forgiveness. Yet we aren't electing a Messiah or a pastor, but a president of a worldly government (as the secular humanists constantly remind us).

Maybe you should post this in the RELIGION section. :-)

Christ said: "DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT UNDER A BARREL" and Trump isn't. And he isn't a narcissist at all...he's NOTHING at all like Obama or Slick Willie Clinton the rapist and ONLY elected president to be impeached.

Gotta love the left’s projection. Never have once questioned Obama’s mental state which is is a disaster.

I hope you’re ready for incoming. A full asbestos body suit is advisable.

Remember back in 2008 and 2012 when the media was asking this same question about Barack Obama?

Me neither.

I’m pretty sure that any medical professional who renders a diagnosis of Trump (or anyone) without actually examining them, is putting their medical license in jeopardy. Or at least opening themselves to an expensive lawsuit.

What a horrible article. Trump is not narcissistic. His children are obvious proof.

Seems like Trump tells his rally crowds he loves them and says it often. Did we hear that from Bammy? or Hellary?
They are incapable of saying it nor even mean it.

I just don’t see him as narcissistic at all.

“And he wants to deport immigrants, but [two of] his wives have been immigrants.” Michaelis took a slightly different twist on Trump’s desire to deport immigrants: “This man is known for his golf courses, but, with due respect, who does he think works on these golf courses?”

Well at least that saved me from reading the rest.

Bunch of no-name members of “the helping professions” try to get some MSM attention by hooking on to the Trump name.

To step up and say “I should be President” one has to have a pretty outsized ego and probably all presidential candidates fall into that category— Trump more than some. You could argue that one could not do the job without well-developed, and maybe even overdeveloped, self-confidence.

B.O. is the one these writers should be worrying about. His behavior goes beyond ego or self-confidence.

Ninety Three ....

93% of members of the American Psychological Association self identify as liberal democrats.

They're biased against Conservatives. If their membership overwhelmed any other minority other than Republican s they would be the first to scream for ‘diversity’...

Hypocrites... frauds... They're as objective about our people as the NRA would be about democrats. Ninety-three percent are liberal democrats.

Trump’s running for President - not for local pastor and boy scout leader...

Funny “therapists” never weighed in on Obama in 2007/2008.

I call hit piece.

You may not like Trump's style, but the guy built a company, was the “decider” and never ever votes “present”.

Prior to becoming a not even one term Senator, Obama did nada with his life before becoming POTUS.

Tend to the log in your own eye.....

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR
