| How to Spot a Narcissist (Trump Persuasion Series) |
| 2016-02-25 |
| h/t Instapundit Donald Trump is the most famous narcissist in the world. That fact probably seems obvious to you, given Trump's continuous self-promotion. Mental health experts agree with your assessment. Trump hits most of the checkboxes for the diagnosis. The biggest tell for narcissism is a belief that you are better than other people. For example, if Trump believed he could run for President -- with almost no political experience -- and dominate the Republican party in only a few short months, that would be an example of... Okay, wait. That one doesn't work. Apparently his self-image was spot-on in that one specific case. It was the rest of us who got that one wrong. But still, Trump obviously has an inflated self-image. For example, there was the time he thought he could transition from being a real estate developer to being a best-selling author of a book about negotiating, but then...shit. Okay, that example doesn't work. Okay, how about this example: Remember when Trump thought he could transition from developing real estate and being a best selling author to becoming a reality TV star and then...okay, forget that one. That sort of worked out for Trump. Um...okay, I have one. Remember all of the Trump real estate and casino businesses that failed? I think there were a handful of big failures. That's a terrible track record when you consider Trump's hundreds of successful projects that...shit. Okay, that example doesn't work when you put it in context. But the ego on that guy. For example, Trump thinks models are attracted to him. Models! Ha ha! And they are, but my point is that I forget what my point is. Something about his ego? Yes, that's it. Anyway, Trump thinks he is smarter than most people just because he has a high IQ and went to great schools. Usually that does mean you are smarter than 98% of the public, but in this case it was probably just luck, because obviously all of us are smarter than Trump. I mean, look at his haircut! |
