Donald Trump just convinced me to vote for Hillary if the nominee

90. Well, Mr. 'I know a whole lot about people,'

That's called a tell.

The amazing thing is that you just told me that you have a lot in common with Donald Trump.

You're both narcissistic, make up things as you go along, and believe something to be true until some other truth occurs to you that serves your purposes better.

Nobody who says this: 'I know a whole lot about people,' and 'I can plainly see that you are...',

has either much knowledge about 'people' (which is a vast and diverse subject which none of us can really know that much about during a human lifetime) nor sees things that plainly are.

One thing you could benefit from learning is that a President of the United States is not a king. Another thing is that, just because a President of the United States attempts something does not mean it is going to happen. And the third thing is about people, probably the most important thing of all these, and something I doubt you quite understand: people can fight. People like me will fight vigorously against, for example, the 'mass deportations' that will never happen, because of the ludicrous level of resources such a thing would require, as well as the fact that, well, lots of people like me would fight to the extent necessary to prevent it from happening.

And finally, people with healthy self-respect, who have had to make their way through a lot of hard knocks and maintained their fundamental values through the process, tend to be the most respectful of the needs of others.

It's pretty hard to change a narcissist's outlook, and I imagine, if you read this, you'll be fuming right now. Going through all the ways that this scumbag who doesn't know a damn thing but is so full of himself is going to get what's coming to him someday, thinks he can get away with that, etc., and feeling better and better about yourself as you work out more ways in which I'm so pathetically wrong and worthless.

But I had to give it a try. Because I'm not a narcissist. I value the well-being of others at least to the extent that I value my own.
