This Won't Help, Ivanka!

No, you'd rather gloss it over, obviously. Can't say I blame you.

Go on, pursue your pedantry and ignore the larger point. You'll be Right©, no matter what.

And yet, you still haven't provided evidence that psychologists have said Trump may have dementia.

'Twasn't my claim to defend. I presented diagnoses of NPD, which apparently doesn't bother you, judging by your fixation.

Care to actually, you know, address my point?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Yep, she sucks so badly it hurts to wish for her to win rather than Trump. Unfortunately, she's the only "good" option available.

But yes, she fucking sucks.

At least vote third party and try to break the two party cycle. I by no means expect Jill or Johnson to be the next POTUS this time round, but it might send a message.

I'm not an American anyway.

Oh, it bothers me. But we weren't talking about NDP until you started ranting on about it. We were talking about Trump apparently having dementia, which nobody has backed up with any sources.

Everyone knows about the NDP comments, we've talked about it in other threads.

Min, care to post your source to the dementia claim?

Yep, you're Australian.

More of a message to the yanks of the board, instead of you specifically.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has NPD, or maybe even ASPD. Hell, a combination of more than one personality disorder probably. Regardless of the specific diagnosis, he is extremely narcissistic, that's for sure.

[The Grand Nudger]

NPD is the creation and maintenance of a false self, usually to brace or buffer ones actual self from the outside world, to the detriment of that actual self and all those around you.  It's called narcissistic personality disorder for the inordinate amount of effort spent on that self, not because the person is..as we use it in common parlance, a narcisist.  How could they be, they're not admiring themselves (precisely the opposite, they generally loath themselves)....they're attempting to convince -you- to accept and admire the false self. It's associated, with disassociative breaks and disorders (lol), depression...substance abuse...an inability or difficulty to empathize with others, and may in fact be genetic and inheritable (or a propensity for it may be genetic...as it's understood that a person can be conditioned by themselves, others, or events to present this disorder even if there is no family history of it - though it is most commonly thought to have it's onset in early childhood).

Being a narcisist, otoh, is just run of the mill assholery.

(I had a run in with a diagnosis back in my hooah days. Disassociative, NPD, depression, substance abuse. Spare those of us that have felt this the indignity of being associated with trump just because he's a garden variety asshole.)

I'm not "ranting", though your attempt at mischaracterization is noted. There's been nothing "wild and impassioned" about my posts here. Feel free to post examples to the contrary ... or use the language a little more accurately, the choice is yours.

As for whether his NDP bothers you or not, I can only go by how much attention you pay to it -- and so far here, that's been exactly zero.

I didn't realize that that meant the point couldn't be raised again in the context of Trump's mental illness. My apologies for thinking that his narcissistic personality disorder was germane to a discussion of his mental health. Whether or not it's dementia matters to me, if no one else.

He's definitely got something.
