Trump is a malignant narcissist, which means among all the characteristics of those with this personality disorder, he lacks a capacity for empathy and is incapable of introspection.
Most narcissists aren’t pathological liars, or bullies, or misogynists, or hedonists, or prone to believing conspiracy theories. Certainly most narcissists can be said to lack intellectual curiosity, something that alone should disqualify him to be president. However, one of these characteristics makes him potentially dangerous as president. This is his impulsiveness in combination with his having something of split Jekyll and Hyde personality, the later being mean spirited with a streak of evil a mile wide. When the meek and mild Dr. Jekyll transformed into the dangerous bloodthirsty Mr. Hyde nobody was safe.
Now we get to the Tweets and what that tell us about Trump.
After Trump met with Obama he Tweeted “A fantastic day in D.C. Met with President Obama for first time. Really good meeting. great chemistry. Melania liked Mrs. O a lot!”
Normal amiable Dr. Trump. Then Mr. Hyde takes over and writes, first bragging (albeit mildly for him): “Just had a very open and presidential election.” But he couldn’t leave it at that: “Now professional protestors, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair.”
Not worth of a horror movie monster, but still
a hostile turn from his earlier Tweet. He also showed this in the opposite direction when he Tweeted about the “failed New York Times” and then praised them effusively during the meeting g with their editors and writers.
A bit less than half the country clearly have elected a president with a more benign version of the split personalty made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson in his classic book about a dual personality. Adapted from my “Two Tweets prove Trump really is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
Stevenson’s Mr. Hyde was a vicious murderer who reveled in the blood sport of killing. He was an outright psychopath. However, and this is important, he was not delusional.
Here’s where Trump’s latest Tweet opens the possibility, perhaps the likelihood, that he has a third aspect of his personality.
The very notion that there could have been literally millions of people who not only voted illegally, but only voted illegally for Hillary, is beyond rationality.
Of course, here’s a man who couldn’t wrap his mind around the science of climate change, so we have not come to the expect the level of rational thinking that most of us learned in junior high school science.
The full transcript of his remarks to the Times reveals that Trump appeared to have little knowledge of the issue and continued to express skepticism at the near-universal scientific consensus on climate change.
“You know the hottest day ever was in 1890-something, 98. You know, you can make lots of cases for different views. I have a totally open mind,” he said, later adding that “it’s a very complex subject. I’m not sure anybody is ever going to really know.”
We also have to add into our understanding of Trump the statement he made about the thousand of Muslims across the river in New Jersey who celebrated the fall of the Twin Towers. It was an easily debunked lie. Who was that Donald Trump?
It would appear that the celebrating Muslims Trump may be the same personality that wrote this latest ludicrous Tweet. This is a downright delusional and paranoid Tweet. We know that Trump is a pathological liar, therapists have speculated about whether he can even discern the truth as he’s spinning a lie. I even wrote about how when some people lie frequent the brain changes so they can’t tell the truth from a lie.
Did Trump believe this Tweet when he wrote it? If he did, ladies and gentleman, we have an even bigger problem with the president elect than we thought we did. The only other conclusion is that he meant it as an attempt at hither-to unseen humor, as self-satire. If the media nails him for this Tweet I expect Kellyanne Conway will claim it was meant as a joke.
But we know different.
What this all adds up to is that the next president of the United States may have a psychiatric disorder far more dangerous than what has been suggested by psychotherapists, including by me in my 20 some Daily Kos articles about the psychology of Trump.

If true, this would mean that Donald Trump still won the contest despite widespread vote fraud and almost certainly won the popular vote.
“We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens,” tweeted Phillips after reporting that the group had completed an analysis of a database of 180 million voter registrations.
“Number of non-citizen votes exceeds 3 million. Consulting legal team,” he added.
According to current indications, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by around 630,000 votes, although around 7 million ballots remain uncounted.
Virtually all of the votes cast by 3 million illegal immigrants are likely to have been for Hillary Clinton, meaning Trump might have won the popular vote when this number is taken into account.
Vote fraud using ballots cast in the name of dead people and illegal alien voters was a huge concern before the election.
On the morning of the election there were 4 million dead people on U.S. voter rolls.
Holy shit, if there is where Trump gets his facts.

Nobody seems to be getting it…. This goes so much more beyond into the rumors that Ronald Reagan may have based important decisions on Nancy’s astrology. Trump is believing lies spun by Alex Jones who certainly has an agenda.
To restate it here: This is an important Tweet but not for the reasons most everyone is saying. It shows he is more psychologically unstable than psychotherapists like me ever thought. Not only does he have a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde personality, or technically called "a splitting of the self"; but a third personality that is delusional and paranoid. That is who posted this ludicrous Tweet. We must stop using layman terms for psychiatric disorder. He is not, for example "thin skinned." He is dangerously reactive when he percieves a slight to his ego. We must understand that this makes him more dangerous than psychotherapists (and others) previously thought.
