Trump is a massive sociopathic narcissist

Post Reply New Topic

Oh no, someone insulted Trump again?! Here comes Jacoby to the rescue to try to divert the subject to the Clintons.

Right because identity politics by poor white males is totally never a thing and has no relevance to Trump at all. (and did you actually read what I wrote about Clinton?? Have I ever said I'm a Clinton supporter?)

I think Bobby Dylan nailed it on this one like sixty years ago:

From the poverty shacks he looks from the cracks to the tracks
And the hoofbeats pound in his brain
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back with his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

i come from loser family a lot like this and got out and I'm sorry I have no sympathy for reactionary people who can't compete in the modern world and want to hold everyone else down so they can feel great again.

'What difference at this point does it make?' = hillary is a sociopathic narcissist too!

I think he is a narcissist, maybe a sociopath but not necessarily a sadistic sociopath.

I see Clinton as demonstrating some signs of narcissism. After all if I were in her position and I knew all the scandals that were being put on me I think I would simply drop out, live a nice peaceful life by myself. It takes someone with supreme confidence to run for president, especially when they know that half the country already hates them To me this does show some intractable narcissism on her part.

I probably won't be voting for either Clinton or Trump. Just don't let Trump fool you. He cares about no one but himself.

Narcissism is a spectrum. Classic NPD narcissism or unstable narcissism is about maintaining an ego you can't really support, which makes it fragile and vulnerable. It's low self-esteem trying desperately to pretend to be high self-esteem and dependency on the validation of others to prove it. ---That's what I mean when I say Trump is a narcissist.

There's also stable narcissism -- which is about when someone genuinely thinks they are better than everyone else and feels entitled to more important treatment. (I think there also has to be an element of really craving admiration) In this sense of narcissism I think you're probs right that Clinton is a narcissist and politicians in general are pretty narcissistic.

Sadism and sociopathy/psychopathy are different things -- it's just that if a socio/psycho does happen to be sadistic there's not much conscience/empathy to restrain them and for psychos not much fear/anxiety either... so their more likely to *act* sadistic if they have more sadism than normal people.

I don't think Trump's sadistic I think he lashes out from narcissistic wounds and acts like a douchebag to push power in people's faces. I also think he'll hurt people to get anything he wants with no remorse (and with that ego there's no end to what he wants). But I see no evidence he likes to hurt people because fun

I guess this question is answered...

The October surprise (2005 video) is not a really surprise.

At least Trump isn't scared of a cartoon frog.

*sigh* I miss the good old days when Pepe was a delightful fellow who peed with his pants down.

Anyways, Trump has many deplorable Nazi supporters who ignore his Zionists tendencies.
In the same way, Clinton has many supporters who ignore her neocon tenancies. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.



"Of course there are differences, but they are not fundamental. Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party."
- Noam Chomsky

This all reminds me of a poem I remember hearing once. I wish I could remember who wrote it.

Everybody knows our days are numbered. Everybody knows with their fingers crossed.
Everybody knows the war is over. Everybody knows the good guys lost.
Everybody knows the fight was fixed. The poor stay poor. The rich get rich.
That's how it goes.
Everybody knows.

The song is Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen. Here's my fave cover by Whispering Tree. Whispering Tree also did a song called Go Call the Captain which is really relevant here

Ive been thinking over the Trump issue and came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter. I mean its like this: people condemn narcissism/sociopathy/low empathy/selfishness in social equals on the same level. But they still reward these characteristics every time when looking for strong people to support them against their enemies. I don't think Trump voters really have any illusions about Trump besides thin rationalisations which are more about deflecting criticism than stuff they actually believe themselves.

The real illusions are about themselves. Their voting for Trump because they want to see immigrants and black people and women put in their place. Its not that any of these policies would actually help them materially--- it's about pride. The truth is that a lot of poor white males don't have any abilities or talents to make them special or valuable but they still expect to have it --- and the only value/status/feeling powerful in life they ever got for being white guys. They just can't face the reality that's who they are.

Let immigrants compete and stop putting down black people and low ability white guys with ego expectations which won't happen are the absolute lowest and have to face it. Let women have a really choice who they want as partners and none of them will settle being chained down to losers all their life. So Trump comes along as a bully putting all these people down and they cheer. Because they really are a lot like Trump inside. It's just Trump kicks people around to stay king of the Trump Tower and they kick people around to be king of the trailer park which they want to pretend is Trump Tower.

They like Trump because they think he's their sociopathic narcissist. And theyll never admit hell just screw them over cause (1) they have no hope for themselves they just want other people put below them and (2) they can't admit that once again theyre just a tool. That's why I think we exaggerate the harm done by powerful people because the ones like Trump that really make life suck for all of us only get power by giving bitter people what they want.
