Furthermore, I think the Dotard is already showing signs of narcissistic collapse. He's doing all the things every narcissist I've ever known would do before they went into a towering, dangerous rage. And I've known plenty of them, up close. As in immediate family.

With a garden-variety narcissist, empathy might be tolerated (they don't see it as help, really), but it's the worst thing you can offer to a malignant narcissist.

A malignant narcissist is exceedingly dangerous when they have suffered a narcissistic injury. They will want revenge, and even your empathy can be seen as piling on to the injury--which *WILL* have them turn you into a punching bag--either literally or figuratively. Actually, no matter what you do, you become a target for their hate and rage when they spiral out of control. So does anyone else in the vicinity.

Always.

That's why your best bet is to maintain as much distance as you can from that type without having to leave the planet, until they cool off.
