Trump once again demonstrated his out of control narcissism in this:
US President Donald Trump said the news was “very positive”.
“I think that their statement and the statements coming out of the South Korea and North Korea has been very positive,” he said.
“That would be a great thing for the world. We will see how it all comes about. I thought that North Korea were terrific. They went into the Olympics and went in with good spirit. They did well. Let’s see if we can carry it over.”
During a later press conference with the Swedish Prime Minister, Mr Trump was asked why North Korea had agreed to talks now.
“Me,” he replied.
After an awkward silence, Mr Trump said: “Nobody got that”. Source
I expect Kim Jung Un heard this loud and more clearly than some may like to imagine. After all, what world leader would say such a thing in front of TV cameras besides one suffering from a delusional mental disease? All this did was confirm what Kim already has to know.
Trump is about to go face to face against a formidable opponent who is armed not just with all the nukes it takes to be taken seriously on the world stage, but with an incredible amount of knowledge about what makes Trump tick.
All Kim and his advisors have needed to do was Google Trump malignant narcissism and use Google Translate to read what eminent American mental health professionals (and not so eminent ones like me) have to offer by way of insight into Trump’s psychopathology, his strengths and most importantly, his weaknesses.
For example, from the Jan. 14, 2018 New York Magazine article The President Is Mentally Unwell — and Everyone Around Him Knows It
The unanimous assessment of those in Trump’s immediate vicinity is shared by clinicians viewing him from afar. On Wednesday, in response to Trump’s tweet about the size and potency of his nuclear button, 100 mental-health professionals signed their names to a statement reading, “We believe that he is now further unraveling in ways that contribute to his belligerent nuclear threats … We urge that those around him, and our elected representatives in general, take urgent steps to restrain his behavior and head off the potential nuclear catastrophe that endangers not only Korea and the United States but all of humankind.”
트럼프의 바로 근처에있는 사람들의 만장일치의 평가는 멀리에서 그를 보는 임상의들에 의해 공유됩니다. 수요일에, 자신의 핵무기 버튼의 크기와 효능에 관한 트럼프의 트위터에 응하여 100 명의 정신 건강 전문가들은 성명서에 자신의 이름을 서명했다. "우리는 그가 호전적인 핵 위협에 기여하는 방법을 더욱 분명히하고 있다고 믿는다. 우리는 그와 주변의 선출 된 대표들이 자신의 행동을 억제하고 한국과 미국을 제외한 모든 인류를 위험에 빠뜨릴 잠재적 인 핵 재앙을 피하는 긴급 조치를 취할 것을 촉구한다. “
For most of his presidency, the conversation about Trump’s mental well-being, and consequent capacity to perform the duties of his office, has been characterized by a willed naïvety. The president’s signs of senility aren’t subtle. His narcissistic self-regard is not mildly delusional; his impulse control is more than a little bit lacking. In October, a Republican senator likened the White House to an adult day-care center; said that he knew “for a fact that every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him”; and insisted that, in private, most of his GOP colleagues shared this assessment. Wolff’s reporting suggests that virtually everyone in Trump’s inner circle has witnessed signs of his mental decline, and believes him to be unfit for office.
그의 대관 장의 경우, 트럼프의 정신 건강에 대한 대화와 그의 직무를 수행 할 수있는 능력은 기꺼이 순진한 것이 특징이었습니다. 노 대통령의 징벌은 미묘하지 않습니다. 그의 자아 도취적인 자기 존중은 온화한 망상이 아닙니다. 그의 충동 조절은 조금 부족합니다. 10 월 공화당 상원 의원은 백악관을 성인용 탁아소에 비유했다. 그는 "백악관에서 매일 매일 그를 포함시키려는 상황이다"라는 것을 알고 있다고 말했다. 사적으로 그의 GOP 동료 대부분이이 평가를 공유했다고 주장했다. 울프의보고에 따르면 사실상 트럼프의 내면에있는 모든 사람들이 정신적 쇠퇴의 징후를 목격했으며 그를 임기에 부적당하다고 믿고 있습니다.
