The Shallow State: Last night, our President "had a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage"

[Pluvious]

Yesterday evening, Trump had a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage. He made post after post after post. Short posts. Reposts. Hundreds of them. His gut was a simmering stew of agitation and desperation. His malignant pathologies rule him, projecting his malice outwardly.

What drives that malice, is fear. Fear of losing. Fear of being unable to influence the narrative. Fear of constraint. Fear of losing his self-concocted aura of grandiosity. Fear of exposure of a lifetime of secrets and lies. Paranoid rear. Parasitic fear. Fear of humiliation.

By any objective psychological or pathological standard, he's ill. But he has NEW fears now beyond pathology - losing his physical health, and his acuity. He hates himself for it; for showing limitations.

Neither you nor I can EVER feel the kind of desperation and rage Trump feels now. Because you and I are members of society and all its relationships and interactions, and we boast a full emotional spectrum. Not Trump. He is the entirety of his universe. He doesn't partake in events; he profits from transactions. He doesn't interact with others, he lords over others as if they were objects.

This is a man now terrified that all that he is, and all that he ever said he was - his entire lifetime of false constructs - is crumbling into the ash of a fake myth.

This is a rage-filled malignant narcissist -- in deep decline.

It's time to take actions to protect our Republic...

It feels like we're approaching a breaking point.

In the comments, people are pointing out this:

1. He's going downhill, but he's likely to do a lot of damage on the way down.

2. Looked up leqembi

Lecanemab, sold under the brand name Leqembi, is a monoclonal antibody medication used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[2][6] Lecanemab is an amyloid beta-directed antibody.[2]

It is given via intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection to people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia.[2] In clinical trials, it demonstrated modest efficacy in reducing relative cognitive decline compared to placebo.[7]

The most common side effects of lecanemab include headache, infusion-related reactions, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities, a side effect known to occur with the class of antibodies targeting amyloid.[8]

Lecanemab was jointly developed by Eisai, Biogen, and BioArctic.[9] It was granted accelerated approval for medical use in the United States in January 2023,[10] and fully approved by the FDA in July 2023.[6][11]

…

Lecanemab is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in people who have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, but not in people who already have moderate or severe dementia.[2][6][8]

…

Lecanemab may cause amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). ARIA is often asymptomatic, but serious and life-threatening events rarely may occur. ARIA most commonly presents as temporary swelling of the brain that usually resolves over time and may be accompanied by small spots of bleeding in or on the surface of the brain, though some people may have symptoms such as headache, confusion, dizziness, vision changes, nausea and seizure.[6][8] Compared to placebo, all doses of the drug caused accelerated brain shrinkage.[18]

6. "all doses of the drug caused accelerated brain shrinkage"

Thanks for looking that up - sounds risky for its "modest efficacy"

[slightlv]

18. Yeah, there's just not any kind of real treatment for Alzheimers.

They keep trying, but everything has such bad side effects for the little benefit you get. Plus, I'd argue there's been no benefit, as seen via trump.

I'd never heard of this drug treatment... but it sure makes connecting the dots easier when it comes to his physical attributes and his current behavior!

[shanti]

23. Sounds like it's not working n/t

[snowybirdie]

26. Our family

Turned down that drug for a loved one. Side effects and the need for MRI's frequently too much.Serious stroke risk too

[EYESORE 9001]

3. '... a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage...'

Does that hurt much? Sure hope so.

[Aviation Pro]

4. The pedophile is posting

Like a teenage girl.

[mtngirl47]

5. But her freaking emails. n/t

[Cirsium]

31. Right!

And Biden's auto pen, and cackling something something, and Hunter's laptop blah, blah, blah.

[durablend]

38. And Obama's freaking tan suit

[Cirsium]

41. I forgot that

The tan suit!!! I forgot all about that terrible threat to national security. Wasn't Dijon mustard involved somehow? Then I read that Biden ate an ice cream cone. When will the horrors ever end???

[popsdenver]

7. And it is no wonder

he sleeps until noon, and isn't playing that much golf anymore.......Ask any student, that is what Adderall does for you.
Take it to pull an all nighter studying for a test, then immediately crash afterwards. Same thing that happens with Cocaine......

[slightlv]

19. I'm going to be 70 in Februrary.

All my life, I've been a night owl. Now that I'm retired, my body definitely wants to live on its own schedule... which means up all night and asleep all day. I've got no problems with people who do this... I consider them kindred spirits. But I don't spend all night rage posting on a vanity forum. The worst issue I find is not being able to do my business because everyone else is asleep!

Trump is in the final stages of dementia, regardless of the cause. I just wish it'd hurry up and finish the job. I look at Orrex's posts, dearly wishing I'd see someone post in response, "Yes! Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead!"

28. As the late, great Rick James once said....

8. The Cracks In The Mirror

There once was a figure online,
Who ranted at quarter past nine.
Short posts by the score,
Then a hundred more—
A tempest in furious design.

Trump's bluster concealed something dire,
A furnace of flickering fire.
Not courage nor might,
But shadows at night—
A mansion constructed of fear.

He strutted with towering pride,
Yet trembled the moment inside.
For myths built so tall
Can suddenly fall
When truth will no longer abide.

He lived in a realm all his own,
A kingdom of ego alone.
Not bonds we create,
But deals he would rate—
A world where no empathy’s shown.

Now sensing his story unwind,
He rages at fate unkind.
For facades finely spun
Can all come undone—
And leave only ruins behind.

And so, as the nation grows tense,
With stakes that are nothing but immense,
We brace for the hour
When bluster meets power,
And history casts its suspense.

9. enjoyed that :)

[Mme. Defarge]

11. I logged in to rec. this!

[Justice matters.]

13. Picture his Atlantic City casino collapsing in dust...

in a never ending loop... until there's nothing left but a cloud of dust.

[mr715]

27. That gave me good tingles. nt

[Skittles]

30. righteous!

[regnaD kciN]

10. In other words, a day like any other...

[llmart]

12. I think his biggest fear right now might be death.

He's probably gotten the real truth from medical professionals and he doesn't like what they're saying. It's the one thing he can't control. Narcissists truly believe that they will never die - that the world just couldn't go on without them.

[Pluvious]

20. The scary thing is...

"... the world just couldn't go on without them."

This hyper-malignant narcissist has the power to literally make that TRUE

[Skittles]

33. yup

it must just kill billionaires that they have to eventually die just like all of us and there's not a fucking thing they can do about it

[ananda]

14. She meant HYPERMANIC.

"hypo" is low.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Clinically it is stated this way when it is not a full blown episode requiring hospitalization

because there are major threats to self or others. And major disruptions to social or job functioning.

I could argue however that if any one else did this they would lose their jobs.
And Trump is a threat to others.
Any one else would probably be hospitalized.

So we could certainly argue that you are correct.

[ananda]

35. Well, it really was HYPER.

Period.

Clilnical schimical.

It's trump, dammit.

[Irish_Dem]

36. Well, not really compared to severe manic episodes.

The kind where the police have to be called, and patient put in hand cuffs.
Then pink slipped and taken to a locked psych ward and patient put into
restraints and medicated up to their eyeballs so they don't kill anyone.

Most people have never seen this kind of manic episode.
It is scary for sure.

But yes I agree, Trump was crazy as a loon the other night.
And he should lose his job and medicated.
Kids should get guardianship and take away his keys.

And I can argue that Trump is killing people every day.
And a threat to humanity.

[electric_blue68]

42. From 2 acquaintances, and some reading I've heard of hypomsnic, manic....

Just read about delirious mania (hallucinations, delusions), but I've never heard of homicidal dangers...
unless;
?the hallucinations, delusions are causing extreme actions in an false sense of self-defense.

Hope my question is clear!

[Irish_Dem]

43. Yes people who are paranoid and psychotic are much more dangerous.

And then if they are having a manic episode on top of that, the risk level is quite high.

Yes exactly, they believe they are defending themselves against imaginary dangers.
So they will fight as hard as they can and kill others to save themselves.

If they are experiencing command hallucinations the risk is even higher.
This is when a person hears voices telling them to commit crimes.

Some time back there was a killer on the loose with psychosis and command hallucinations.
He had already killed a number of people.
The police were hunting for him.
Normally I hope the police can safely apprehend a mentally ill person, but in this case
to save police lives they were probably going to have to shoot to kill unfortunately.

In terms of Trump, he appears more and more paranoid.
And is exhibiting irrational behavior, no filter, bad judgement, etc.
His behavior looks manic to me as well.

On top of his drug addiction, narcissistic and psychopath personality disorders.

In addition he has no limits, the US has given him power to do whatever he wants with no consequences.
And he has the entire US law enforcement, military and federal government at his disposal to harm others.

Yes he is quite dangerous. He always has been, his criminal history tells us that.
But now the risk level is much higher.

[MustLoveBeagles]

45. He scares me sometimes

[Irish_Dem]

46. Yes this is the appropriate reaction.

Most people dismiss Trump as a harmless, stupid buffoon.
They do so at their own peril.

[MustLoveBeagles]

47. He's stupid and a baffoon

He's still dangerous especially if feels he's backed into a corner.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. Maybe his cocaine dealer Hernandez sent him some product to thank him for the pardon

I'm sure Don Jr. would have been able to take it into the White House without being searched.

[barbtries]

16. that was really good.

Are you the shallow state?
Do you know if the shallow state is on Bluesky or perhaps has a substack?

earlier on BlueSky i mentioned he must have been manic to produce that many tweets and added that he's probably afraid of dying if he goes to sleep.

this was so well stated and I have to say I agree. the man is decompensating and decomposing before our very eyes.

[canetoad]

21. Looks like a BlueSky account

[Pluvious]

22. Our Shallow State is on BlueSky...

https://bsky.app/profile/ourshallowstate.bsky.social

AFAIK they don't publish on Substack

Blasting over 400 "truths" on his failing platform is pretty insane

Historians will be at a loss as to how our Republic put up with this insanity for so long

[Happy Hoosier]

17. And Adderall. Lots of Adderall. NT

[H2O Man]

24. Recommended.

I think that last night was the calm before the storm.

[yardwork]

34. Batten down the hatches.

[milestogo]

25. Maybe one of these bleeds will do the trick.

[Moostache]

29. I hope he is 100% aware of EVERYTHING happening to him...

I hope he KNOWS that he is demented and losing his cognition and ability by the second...

I hope he FEELS every memory fading from grasp and the inability to recall things that he can picture but no longer name...

I hope his family SEES his decline from minute to minute and they are denied the relief of him passing quietly...

In short, I hope that all the SHIT I have lived through and seen with my grandmother and father's battles with this scourge are visited upon the Trumps with an accelerant and a strong kicker because FUCK them all, they entire grifting disgusting clan.

[ultralite001]

37. Krasnov is terrified of Death...

+ knows he is destined for Hell…

No amount of $$$… “good” deeds… or bullying is going to change what he knows is his fate in his mind’s eye…

As long as he can stay awake, he believes he’s safe…

[durablend]

39. Pretty sure they don't want him 'downstairs'

[ultralite001]

40. "They" are not going to have any choice...

44. A brain bleed might solve all our problems.
