Let's talk about Trump's personality for a minute... something that we can actually substantiate through observation and statistics.
First off, look at us all spinning our heads debating Trump's alleged crimes, false statements, outlandish and often disgusting behaviour..... We all know Trump is narcissistic, and spouts crap off the top of his head. He does a great job of distracting us from actual issues. But is this all intentional? Perhaps..... but maybe it is just a symptom of a larger problem. Politics, egomania, and narcissistic personality disorder.
There are several qualities that one must express to be clinical diagnosed with egomania according to psychologytoday (
https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/in-excess/201404/long-self-life).
Meeting at least 5 of these qualities is enough to be considered an egomaniac which is also characterized by narcissistic personality disorder. Allow me to detail a few of these qualities:
1. A grandiose sense of self-importance
2. Preoccupation with success and power
3. Need for excessive admiration
4. Exploitative
5. A belief of being unique
Trump clearly meets these qualities, and then some. In fact, Trump boldly flaunts these qualities, indicating he has some form of extreme egomania. It is not uncommon for politicians to be egomaniacs (some think it is a requirement), but it is my opinion that trump has one of the most extreme cases of egomania in our history.
Couldn't this explain why trump lies about such simple facts as the weather? Trump is so preoccupied with himself that not even the weather will stand above him.
Couldn't this explain why Trump's base is what it is? People who will call him "Supreme illustrious leader", for instance - fueling Trump's ego.
Here we are arguing about Trump's supposed sexual assaults, racism, bigotry, etc, etc.... when all we are doing is subscribing to his ego. We should stop bickering about all the bullshit spewing from Trump's orifices and focus on real issues at hand. I think many American's don't even know what those issues are because we are just as preoccupied with Trump's ego as Trump is!
If you shake a stick at a dog, it will bite the stick.
Trump is an egomaniac and a pathological liar - the sooner we can all get over it, the sooner Trump will get over it as well.
