Entering the Orbit of a Total Narcissist: Who's Who in Donald Trump's Inner Circle
The Guardian ^ | April 15 2016 | on Swaine, Oliver Laughland and Ben Jacobs

Posted on 04/16/2016 9:29:51 AM PDT by Savage Rider

From his career in New York real estate to his extraordinary campaign for the White House, the court of Donald Trump has operated much like that of Louis XIV of France: everything revolves around the imperious, bouffanted Sun King.

“He is a total narcissist, and what you see here is the way he’s always been,” said a source intimately familiar with Trump’s way of working, who declined to be identified criticising a potential president. “This, between you and me, will be the destruction of the United States.”

Looks like this could take further shape???....at least they're bouncing between, could be just show...and likely is.....

But as I see it Trumps as much a fraud , if not more and more dangerous, because he's running as a Republican to get the Presidency when in fact he remains a Demorat.....and Trump is "power hungry" to the hilt.

Am I an establishment conservative because I remember the Micheal Moore moment during a debate when Trump said that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction to get us into the war?

That was a momentary slip of Trump's mask showing his true, real and VERY liberal (still) side. Trump also blamed conservatives for the GOPe, remember. That/it should have been a very revealing moment re: Trump's motives and agenda to all....but alas, some folks in America are too stuckonstupid to take the hint/clue. And then, there are others that are just 'in on it' re: Trump's agenda.

Narcissist: me, me, me; I’m always great; nothing is ever my fault. That’s what I see in Trump; other’s don’t.

Other's don't see a narcissist? Perhaps they see themselves. Trump is a jerk but ultimately people will vote their own interests and pick the lesser of evils and get past personalities. It's not personal ... its business. The same people that said they would never again pick the lesser of evils will insist YOU pick the lesser of evils in this election.

You are right! I am about to turn 49, was raised by a Malignant Narcissist, you want to see if someone is a Narcissist? Look to their relationships with their family, if they have a good relationship with their family, they are most likely not a narcissist.

Pardon, your slip is showing. Personal prejudice is no substitute for objective reality. You may slander. You may curse. All you accomplish is a reflection of yourself.

That was my thought...there may be some confusion here between egoistic and narcissist. I have relatives who are narcissist but NOT egoist...big difference.

-- The last dash attempt by liberals and establishment conservatives to scare people into not voting for him. --

Not the last, just the most recent. Trump will be the subject of this sort of "revelation" piece until he is off the public stage. That could be a month from now, or a decade from now.

The pro-globalist, pro-cronyism, anti-nationalist forces have total control of the press, and near total control of the political class. They will be relentless.

So why does Trump defer to his lawyers and most trusted advisors before making a decision?

Ten years as a psychiatric nurse inform my opinion that Trump is a classic narcissist-hyper sensitive to criticism, cannot apologize or admit he is wrong, sees no need to seek forgiveness from God, reacts to contrary viewpoints with anger, and projects onto others qualities that he won’t accept in himself. He is also authoritarian, self-contradictory, and far from generous in giving cash to charitable organization, donating round of golf instead.

It’s one of the things I don’t like about him. There are things I like. Going on reality TV and pro-wrestling while already a smart and wildly successful businessman is very weird, in my opinion. He did it because he likes that dog squeeze. Pretty bizarre. It would be so much easier if he was just a businessman. I can even take the crudeness much better than that.

Obama’s arrogance, bullying tactics, disregard for constitutional governance and destructive presidency is something that can’t be repeated.

Not even by someone who we think is on our side.

Being equally as bad or slightly less bad just makes the behaviour normal. We will swing from bad to worse until we no longer have the right to fix it.

Those who want the ‘White Obama’ as a means of payback think they are bringing about the end of the status quo. What they will get will be rule of emporers.

Sure we can blame it on an ineffective Senate. Is Abolishing the Senate a cure? We can even blame it on the courts and abolish that too. We can eliminate the house and all other forms of representative government due to disfunction.

Or, we can force it to work by putting someone in who actually knows how it’s supposed to work. Someone with ability to explain it. Someone with the courage to force the branches to do their jobs.

Class envy. Since the emotionally weak and insecure are jealous of Trump’s success, they just insult the man and those who support him.

I noticed that too, but Savage Rider thinks Freepers aren’t smart enough to realize the irony which is that ....

The Guardian is a breeding ground of the worst of Narcissists.

Am I an establishment conservative when I think that the business expertise of Trump on casinos, golf courses and hotels won’t help America be great again?

No. You're more like the socialists who believe that things--healthcare, food, education, housing--can literally be free.

The government is a business, with a very defined product line. It must operate like a business, and, in fact, uses the language and processes of business to describe its operations. I know this because I do work in government, and in my particular career field, I am being trained and developed as an executive leader. People with my background can and do step into CEO positions when they leave the government. (That will not be my path, but it is an option if I want it.)

So, given that government is really a big business, doesn't it make sense to give the top CEO position to someone who does, in fact, have that top-level CEO experience? Someone like Trump, who has already effectively demonstrated that he has the diverse skill set required of the country's top CEO?

I know that I sure as heck don't want that position going to some ideologue who has no real-world executive experience at all. Whenever we elect ideologues like that, the country never does well as a result. Clinton, Johnson, Obama--they've all left the country worse off. An ideologue who passes himself off as conservative will *not* do better, since he does not have the skill set.
