Obama is a narcissist; when the teleprompter is on, he is slick. Cruz is ambitious, and excellent at thinking on his feet. There is an enormous difference between slick narcissism and quick-thinking ambition.
...Obama is a narcissist; when the teleprompter is on...
Yes, in fact, he is a textbook narcissist.
The Mayo Clinic summed up its definition of “narcissistic personality disorderâ€:
If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior.
You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don’t receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) lists its own criteria for the disorder including:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance;
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it;
Exaggerating your achievements and talents;
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people;
Requiring constant admiration;
Having a sense of entitlement;
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations;
Taking advantage of others to get what you want; and
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner.
Trump is worse than bambi. A whiny-baby bully with no real knowledge of policies or the constitution, whom many believe when he says he will do things that he cannot do. He is the dude in the bar except instant name recognition from his reality show with experience - he wrote the book - on manipulation and intimidation.
And the fans go wild.
