He’s a malignant narcissist, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve written this. Not just me here on Daily Kos but eminent mental health professionals like Duty to Warn founder John Gartner, Yale Department of Psychiatry forensic psychiatrist Bandy Lee, and many others. Just Google Trump malignant narcissist.
Situations he can’t control that don’t go his way make him dangerous. Generally he uses projection without abandon, perhaps instinctively, without realizing how transparent he is to any rational person. You don’t have to be a health professional to see this. Those of us duty to warn therapists who track, analyze, and warn everyone about how this impulsive, sadistic, and manifestly ignorant president may someday make a dangerous decisions that will cost many lives.
This should terrify any thinking person.
Now this poll just came out from his beloved Fox News.
The threes in the poll make all the difference because even though his numbers are one or two points away from 40, it is the threes that jump off the page. This is especially true because Joe Biden, even with a zero after his five still stands in stark contrast to Trump’s three.
Though the listed numbers are within the margin of error of +/- 3 (which only statisticians pay attention to) Biden is only 10 points above Trump he will only see the five and the three.
I predict that this will get to him. It will get to him a lot. As of this evening I’m not sure if he’s seen it yet. At least there’s no tweet about it. As I head to bed this is his latest tweet:
I’ll set this story to go on tomorrow morning at 5 AM before I wake up (I live in Oregon) and check his tweets first thing in the morning.
I am curious whether he will lash out at the fake Fox News poll, whether he will ignore it, or how he will somehow manage to dig himself out from under this dismal poll.
If you live in earlier times zones you’ll know before me. You can check his tweets here. (You don’t have to be a member of Twitter or a follower of Trump to read his tweets.
