Trump's reaction shows Bob Woodward inflicted a 'severe' narcissistic injury: psychotherapist

Details from Bob Woodward’s latest book, “Rage,” appear to have seriously harmed Donald Trump’s ego, according to a psychotherapist who co-authored a book about the president’s mental health.

Explosive details from the book went public on Wednesday, and Trump spent much of Thursday morning on Twitter.

“Our president tweeted and retweeted self-adulatory content 34 times, so far, in one hour. The narcissistic injury induced by Woodward tapes is severe,” wrote Elizabeth Mika, the co-author of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” in response to the president’s Twitter spree.

“Self-adulatory, contemptuous of his critics, and/or threatening content. Rage is a natural response to narcissistic injury,” she continued.
