Donald Trump is a pathological narcissist.

[Jehanne]

He meets the DSM-V criteria for narcissistic personality disorder:

who now has the power to end all sentient life on planet Earth:

and whose order to destroy the World must be obeyed without question:

I don't care for Trump and I don't feel any more empathy for him on account of his disorder. But yeah, we're pretty screwed here. I just hope his life style choices will catch up to him sooner rather than later. (Not that Pence would be such an improvement but he might not be such a whacko loose canon.]

Hearing this guy talk is just incredible.

Every other thing he says is a reference to how great he is, and how much people love him. He can't go one minute without putting his foot in his mouth or saying something foolish. In a sane world there would be some sort of test that determines anybody that finds him inspiring to be functionally retarded.

He said that Mexico would pay for this wall he's supposedly going to build, but now the Mexican president has made clear that it won't, and that there's no negotiating it at all. It's so funny to know the right-wing called Obama weak during his presidency, yet Trump hasn't been in office a week, and already Mexico is calling his bluffs and laughing at his power plays. When you're a US president Mexico doesn't take you seriously, you've got some big problems. He's scrambling on some way to save face on this promise he knows he can't keep.

When his face shows itself on the television, I change the channel. Screw their ratings.

Trump is erratic and a monumentally self-aggrandizing narcissist and he's using his *choke* "management style" to push Pence's far-right Christian-conservative anti-everything agenda. I would feel better about Pence having the nuclear football than that ass hat cheeto that was elected and that's the only positive thing I can say.

Well, and I guess having Trump get impeached and showing people exactly how Pence would behave as President could stifle his ability to run for President himself...

Looks like some republicunts are starting to catch on. Way too little and way too late, assholes.

Carl Bernstein: Nervous Republican officials are questioning President Trump’s ’emotional stability’

“It is unlike anything that I have seen in 50 years of being a reporter,” said Bernstein, who first made his name by breaking stories on the Watergate scandal while working for the Washington Post. “I am hearing from Republicans, and other reporters are as well, that there is open discussion by members of the President of the United States’ own party about his emotional maturity, stability.”

Anyone with more than half a brain saw this coming several months away. He made it very clear on the campaign trail this his number one priority is to stroke is ego.

Simon Scharma top British historian compares Trump to the rise of the Nazis

“Not standing up to this prejudice leads us down a dark path, where the rights of minorities are stripped away, and abuse becomes a way of life.”

Their most recent press release referred to "Teresa May", a porn star, instead of "Theresa May", the British Prime minister:

Perhaps that is where Trump's true thoughts lie??  I am still holding out hope that he is a closet liberal who pulled off the biggest con job in the history of the World.  I think that he is hoping that the Congress will flip back to Democratic control and in 2020 he'll campaign against the possibility of a 3-headed hydra controlling the US government and why The People will need to vote for him to maintain control.  As I guessed in October (and, publicly stated on this board), he played the climate card and that helped him crest at the exact moment in time and in the exact places to win the Electoral vote.  I think that he is smart, even in spite of the fact that he likes to act dumb.  The US Presidency was, for him, just another mountain to climb, having succumb to boredom with women and money.  Plan B, in the event that he lost, was to leverage his notoriety for more money and media opportunities, but to his surprise and everyone else, he pulled it off!!

I knew Trump was a narcissist back in the '80s when became a celebrity tycoon. I have disliked him for decades.
