Let's be clear about malignant narcissism

[vlyons]

Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist, which is a psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial behavior, aggression, and sadism. Grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels, the malignant narcissist undermines families and organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate.

No doubt, we all knew what a dangerous, vile, and degenerate person he is. At his advanced age of 77, there is little hope that he will ever be cured of this personality disorder. The best thing for us, and all the people around him is to incarcerate his sorry ass.

Thanks for letting me vent.

1. I agree

Hopefully he will be prosecuted convicted and incarcerated with an appropriate sentence like the leaders of the proud boys, oath keepers, and other ring leaders of the insurrection that he mounted against our country.

2. To be a cult leader,

the first criteria is being a malignant narcissist. I watch a LOT of ID channel, I know one when I see one.

4. Vent anytime. 77-year old cretin will never change his ways. n/t

6. There's NO hope that he'll change

Malignant narcissists don't change. The best they could do is to put on an act and pretend to be a normal person, which they all do when it helps them achieve their goal. They couldn't change if they wanted to.

It took me a few decades to extricate myself from the one I was married to, and the most important step was learning and accepting that he would never change. In retrospect, I was lucky to live through that last year when he realized I knew what he was.

8. Getting these guys when they're very young

mean you can teach them norms and how to fake it and how to spot danger signs within themselves.

You can't teach them empathy. They will always want the focus on themselves. You can only teach them enough of the social norms to keep them out of prison.

Prison is where most of these people end up.

And if you ever meet one in real life, RUN. Don't take the job, don't accept the promotion to that department, don't go to the family reunion, don't date them, and fer drissakes, don't marry one.

They don't have friends, family, and associates, they take hostages.

9. Vent away, my friend. You are just speaking the truth. I will only breathe easy once he's

behind bars. But I'm not holding my breath. We have a long way to go before we can sleep easy.

10. Vent all you need to,

That's why we're here.

13. Rick Perry is jealous again.

Trump hogs the spotlight. He's costing Rick the best years of his life!

12. They undermine and manipulate every relationship they encounter.

I have seen this first hand in a clinical setting Two in a group is a sight to behold and when they become isolated they can become violent. It appears Trump is capable of physical violence as well as emotional abuse. In the end no one wants to get too close (watch your back) and are best left alone with a caretaker who knows the calamity they can commit. What a dismal ending you cannot take them at their word. Right now Trump is in his element as long as they have an audience you feed the disease.

After spending time and money I figured out I did not want to be a clinical Psychologist and definitely NOT a caretaker.
