Okaaay, except that he defines “attack” so loosely. Unless other candidates kiss his feet and act like they want him to win instead of themselves, Trump views it as an attack. In other words, all Trump attacks are valid, in his view, while all other candidates are invalid.
That is narcissism.
For example, a conversation between Cruz and his own campaign strategist about how they could win, which was not meant for wide release, was interpreted by Trump as an “attack.” That’s crazy. Every campaign is plotting out how they can win, otherwise they would quit.
Is Trump a narcissist with megalomaniac tendencies, or
a megalomaniac with narcissistic tendencies???
