Educating about narcissistic & antisocial personality disorders; the master manipulators, pathological liars and serial cheaters; the psychopaths and sociopaths

I keep reading people trying to make sense of Trump’s behavior with normal human schemas. This will never work. He doesn’t possess what makes one human. Quit trying to apply human emotions, qualities, traits, desires, motivations, reasoning to him. They don’t apply.

The pathological lying, manipulative malignant narcissists have been smearing and discrediting the Pope: Trump, Vance, Johnson, Thiel, Musk. The Pope’s moral authority threatens their exploitation without conscience. I’ve witnessed my Catholic GOP neighbors disparage the Pope.
Peter Thiel said yesterday that Pope Leo XIV is a “useful idiot” for the Chinese Communist Party because the pope wants safeguards on the development of artificial intelligence. This is the same Thiel who suggested last year that Leo and Pope Francis were tools of the antichrist. He is also JD Vance’s biggest financial backer

When you call out a narcissistic and/or antisocial bully on their attempted exploitative behavior and put boundaries on their behavior, be prepared for belligerence. They never admit to their transgression or apologize. They attack your reaction to their boundary crossing.

Bingo. And it is so hard for the 99% of us with a functioning conscience and the capacity for empathy and reflection to grasp. But it is our duty to do so at this vulnerable moment for the republic. Here is a peek under the hood (puppetonastringbook.com). @narceducator

If someone had actually tried to assassinate Trump, he’d be filled with narcissistic rage. He’d obsess about the injury from the attempt. This just adds to the evidence that it was staged. “Look at me! Unlike those other presidents who are revered, I’m so powerful; I survived.”
Could you imagine Ronald Reagan excitedly bragging about a photo of his shooting to a Communist in the White House?

Nobody kisses the asses of dictators and autocrats as eagerly and enthusiastically as Donald Trump.

Remember that the secondary abuse by the people who see the malignant narcissist’s abuse and know he is compromised, exploitative, and evil, and do nothing to stop it, is usually experienced as a greater violation than the primary abuse.
Replying to @mechauthor
Yes, the gaslighting feels surreal, outside the realm of normal existence. Trump’s psychopathology relies on the target feeling that their behavior is too evil to be true, so we must be the ones losing our minds.

This is why I keep saying that relying on the status quo and our democratic norms to deal with a narcissistic psychopath is a kiss of death. There are no rules. You need to be two steps ahead of their next violation. 1/6 was small potatoes compared to what’s coming.
saw a tweet somewhere a while ago that said something like "if you're playing chess with your enemy and he keeps punching you in the face, you're not going to win by getting better at chess" and thats been rattling around in my head recently

Drug choice and titration for behavioral control in an elderly, dementia-laden brain in a male with severe Cluster B personality disorder pathology and significant medical issues would be among my least favorite pharmacotherapeutic challenges, exacerbated by paradoxical effects.
I don’t know who took this picture, but they should win a prize for it. This was trump getting off Marine 1 last night.

What in the actual hell…
So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews

If your personal mantra is “Make it fucking stop,” we can be friends.

Performative, bullshit delusional narcissistic spew plus cognitive impairment plus drug dependence plus stress of accountability leads to looseness of associations and flight of ideas. This represents a formal thought disorder with narcissistic delusions. Trump is psychotic.
Look at UK PM Burnham's face while Trump rambles on and on. Knuckle cracking. Eyes scanning the room like "Is anyone else seeing this?" Absolutely hilarious. Must-watch.

I’ve previously talked about the corporate destruction of medicine and pharmacy in the US. The downside of aging is more personal contact with the very professions my MD husband and I are trained in. Here’s a vent that's built up over the last several months. 1/

The sickness plaguing us goes well beyond individual illness. Medical professionals and patients are disposable. Capitalism and corporate takeovers have killed independent ownership, human relationships, personalized care, and empathy.// From the Giroux piece I posted earlier:
