Nixon was paranoid. No question. But this guy?

Donnie Two-Scoops?
Is there a term for 'beyond paranoid'?

EVERY institution or individual that doesn't completely suck up to him he thinks is trying to do him in.

They speak the truth about him and he sees only specious lies.

The man is seriously ill.
But I guess we all knew that by now.
Well, at least those of us who aren't congressional Republicans.
Hell, they know it too.
And we know they know it.

I despair.

6. Dark triad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

The dark triad in psychology refers to the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, which are called "dark" because of their malevolent qualities.

Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions (for more information, see psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism in the workplace).

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.
Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.
Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.

7. Tricky Dick vs. Total Dick

Take Nixon in the deepest days of his Watergate paranoia, subtract 50 IQ points, add Twitter, and you have Trump today. -- former Reagan advisor Bruce Bartlett
