Self puffery is not narcissism. The real textbook example of narcissism and the wake of damage they leave is Barack Obama.
Barf alert necessary.
He was on Morning Joe. A complete idiot.
Here is why I support Donald Trump, enthusiastically: Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.
But maybe I am being inaccurate as to the Atlantic author. He may just hate America, and simply wants to attempt to discredit an American patriot. He might even be an Obama supporter--that is one who is obsessed with hatred for America.
My dog has more common sense than any Psychologist...
The two I know are crazier than bat guano...
And some of the most obnoxious people I know...
Another psychologist said that Trump was a “nationalist” not a narcissist. He loves and cares about his country & wants to personally do something to keep it from going down the tubes while narcissists care only about themselves. I don’t have the link .... but it was an actual article.
It appears the “narcissist” vs “nationalist” depends on which side of the political fence you find yourself. Interesting that Obama appears to be a classic narcissist & Trump is nothing like him.
As one who has an undergraduate degree and a 2 year post graduate degree in psychology, I tired of the mental masturxxxxxx in the profession and went to law school instead of getting a Ph.D. In my opinion,the author empitomizes the mental self pleasuring I despise.
People are incredibly complex, yet they posess a human nature in common with all other human beings.
Modern psychology and apparently this author is seemingly unaware of both facts.
The Atlantic Ocean has a web site and a defunk magazine?
It’s truly surprising how all these anti-Trump atricles sound as though they were miraculously copied from anti-Reagan articles written in 1979 and 1980 by similar people. Whenever I read one, or part of one, I become more and more sure that Mr. Trump will be a truly great President in the tradition of Renaldus Magnus, forvwhom I am proud to have voted in 1976, 1980, and 1984.
And I'm a BIG Old Hickory fan.
Dizzy Dean said famously “it ain’t braggin’ if you can do it”. Make $10b- check. Date the hottest chicks anywhere-check. Build world landmarks-check. Become POTUS- check. We’re gonna need a new word for the alpha of alphas. Narcissist isn’t working, it’s way beyond that.
A Psychologist is always somebody who couldn’t do the work to become a Psychiatrist. “How do you feel about that?” Learn that phrase and you’re a qualified Psychologist.
Psychologist - heal thyself - then see if your drivel is rational....
Barack Obama is the ostensive definition of a narcissist.
sounds like this psychoanalyst has too much education and not enough smarts!
I actually get the feeling that there is some merit to this. But in my mind, ALL presidential candidates are something like this. Hell ALL politicians are. That said, Trump is the most different candidate we have had in modern times, and he is better in every respect compared to Hill or Bern.
