Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. He is a defective person. He has deep insecurities and even deeper cravings. He disguises both with bluster and bravado. He has a lifetime of secrets and lies - about inheritance, grades, health, wealth, acumen - and he used them to build false constructs. The Apprentice was big for him; it allowed him to act out his idealized self. And - it identified something he was actually good at - being a reality TV show host. His disorders include narcissism, sociopathy, paranoia, and sadism. He doesn't process anything strategically. He is transactional. He doesn't think. He feels. It's in the form of impulses and cravings. Grandiosity is his greatest CRAVING. Humiliation is his greatest fear. Protecting his secrets and lies is paramount. A certain number of his supporters have malignant normality - they see a distorted reality through his behaviorally disorders. That's the cult, and they constituted his POWER. His enablers - GOP officials and RW media - rely on him for power and profit. If he falters, they falter - and if he falters bigtime, they evaporate. They serve as his CRUTCH. Again - his grandiosity is his craving, his base of supporters is his power, and his enablers are his crutch. What happened in the election was the result in Trump 2.0 being different than Trump 1.0. The difference was borne from his narcissistic come-uppances. In the civil defamation suits, he was narcissistically battered (exposed as a predator and $90M judgment); and in the Trump Org civil suit, he was narcissistically pulverized (exposed as a fraudster and $350M judgment he struggled mightily to post bond for and couldn't until it was reduced). In the Manhattan criminal case, he was narcissistically traumatized - true humiliation, because it branded him a criminal. Plus, the process was brutal for him - he had to physically be there, observe rules, watch nobody show up to court for much of his defense, watch old friends like Pecker and Hicks speak truth against his narrative, AND he presented no defense because he's impotent as a witness, and - after all that - he lost - to a jury - unanimously, beyond a reasonable doubt, on all charges, after a very short deliberation. He had to see ALL this in person up close, and this is a guy who always controls his environ. He faced many other charges and ran for office again to stay out of jail. When he won, he was going to be vengeful to the max. It was in the cards. BUT - who would he be vengeful TO? His pathology does not let him see past himself. So - he hates Democrats, Republicans, Independents, giraffes, bunny rabbits, and he CANNOT feel or process empathy, shame, or contrition. You honestly couldn't give power to a worse person. He got old and ill and is now owned by his aberrant pathology. And the GOP was weak. And the cult was addicted to dopamine from owning libs thanks to Fox. His mantra became "I can do whatever I want." And he did. And he overreached. Economically. Humanistically. Globally. Yesterday, that overreach took him down. Enough truth filtered through the echo chambers. The frustration and negativity became too much for too many. His profiteering and his insensitivity about it, so abnormal, was beyond the pale. Why am I posting all of this? I am doing it because we suffered so much because we were so collectively oblivious, quick to normalize, and we underestimated everything - including the power of grift. If left to his own devices, he would have rewritten history. Where would we be then? Yesterday's result is cause for celebration. But it's paramount that we see HIM - not for who he is, but for WHAT he is. It's paramount we understand him and how we got here and how we never let it happen again. I see very little introspection occurring. Everything is analyzed in simplistic terms. As always, there is noise - false narratives and other nonsensicalities - obfuscating the full truth. I made this post - in a noise-free zone - to push the narrative that I think matters most, that I hope we get around to discussing soon. Or eventually. History does not HAVE to repeat itself. Rip the Band-Aid off this guy. Thanks for reading.
