As I've said before, it's why he's not a good choice for a puppet. The only leverage that works on a narcissist sociopath is blackmail. The oligarchs will regret their choice while Putin celebrates his.

Prison might work too.
What appears to be dementia could take him out of play. I bet his handlers are having an increasing difficult time.
Remember DJT chanting "Lock her up" before the 2016 election. (About minor error using ordinary email for non-sensitive messages, instead of govt servers.) Is that more coherent than he is today ? Don't think so. (Compare with inviting reporter to highly confidential meeting, excused by Trump)
Watch the videos from that time period. His memory has deteriorated (doesn't remember place names, names of people,etc). He has trouble following conversation and remembering words. His sentence structure is abysmal. Behavior and mood become more difficult to differentiate due to his mental illness
All I know is in 2016 I saw someone incoherant, shouting ridiculous things at his various opponents, name calling, etc. I haven't noticed any significant changes. DJT showed himself as self-centred, disrespectuous of others, and totally incompetant for higher office back in 2016.
I understand your point and agree that he was ridiculous in 2016. I'm not excusing his behavior or trying to minimize it.....then or now.
it's a "cluster" alright. Unfortunately we're all going to have to deal with the FO part.
Correct. ASPD and Narcissistic P.D..
And he's got plenty of maggot supply. It's his lifeblood. He sold us out to Putin, The Heritage Foundation and Putin to keep himself out of jail, and to always...have the illusion of power. He is vaucous, bottomless, a psychopathic narcissist.
"It" most certainly is an agent of destruction. And apologies above... I wrote "Putin" twice. Sub one for the intended, Elon.
Elmo has a very expensive, but very loud megaphone at his disposal. Alas, he's programmed it so it's only an agent for destruction, & any good from it is impossible. Too bad. Elmo could use X to scream at the administration to stop shrinking elmo's wealth. But he can't. It only fires racism bullets.
I work with a lot of financial advisors and it's mind boggling to me how many of them keep trying to find logic and strategy in his actions (even ones who think he's nuts). As if he were capable of those things. Our innate desire to normalize is amazing.
Human behavior is fascinating. I am mystified at the total lack of self awareness these sad sacks have.
Bill Ackman is a Trump-fluffing weasel who hopes he can weasel around acting responsible now so that nobody remembers his weaselly ways. bsky.app/profile/jooc...
Cluster B’s are ruining my attic ATM…
Hedge fund? So this Ackman guy is somebody the rich geniuses let invest their money? Hmmm ...
“We seek the removal of evil councilors.”
Did you notice what the stock market did today? Checked the price of eggs lately? The sky isn’t falling, Chicken Little.
Maths
Ackman knows this - which is why he says it’s “advisors” who have “made mistakes”. It’s not your fault boss, it’s those idiots who are failing you. But the eggshell strategy won’t work - it just enables Trump and makes those trying it look weak (to Trump specifically)
Ackman gives hope to morons everywhere that they, too, can become billionaires.
It is a dumpster fire by the mentally infirm. 25th amendment!
I hope The Simpson's prophecy comes true.
April 12th!!
it's obvious, this ACKMAN doesn't know shit, either.
And don't forget to add in dementia for that special Trump je ne sais quoi.
Nothing adds up with this POTUS
We have the worst Supreme Court in history!
I don't need to read anything to know about his abnormal psychology. He shows it every day.
I've been telling people this since 2016.
Ackman helped put him there...fkm...and his friends
Yeah, "hedge fund manager". You know what they do? You know what they produce, and how they help society? Yeah, nobody does. There's a reason for that. For the most part, it's a thing that rich people do to claim they have a job. Or perhaps "self managed fortune" is better wording.
It does matter if he fits dozen DSM criteria. We’re stuck with him and his autocratic aspirations. Unless and until more Republicans put country above career, we’re hurtling towards some form of martial law. I hope I am wrong!
The sad matter of things is that the right-wing oligarchs are arrogant sociopaths. They've been doing whatever they want for so long they think they're royalty. They moved our banks, factories and stores to China and now they're throwing a tantrum after their huge mistake. China won't give it back.
Agree
What’s the most common denominator in all this regime has done so far? PEOPLE WILL DIE.
Can't keep their money and support all this population, too. The machines are almost ready.
www.mentalhealth.com/library/dsm-...
Then why isn't he in a psychiatric hospital?
Because stupid people think he should be President.
Looks like the US will have to build a big fence all around after all. Just to prevent the lunatics from getting out!🤭
Rubbish in, rubbish out.
Malignant narsisscism, you said it from the very beginning George!
It’s not about policy. It’s about dominance plays, rewarding friends, and attacking enemies.
Wtf does it matter which of a dozen different mental illnesses or diminished capacities he might have? This is the sort of idle chitchat that prevents anything from getting done. Drop the argument about the flavor of brain worm, say he's nuts and move on.
It matters to know what's wrong with him because THAT is how we control and get rid of him. Ignorance is how nothing gets done.
And I'm so very sure that a bunch of social media bullshitting is how we will arrive at actionable information on "what's wrong with him".
It's called symptoms and diagnosis...but, whatever. Mental Health, apparently, isn't your thing. It's not like 47's behavior is new, so, if you read, you'll know that there is concurrence on his mental status.
If you have ever been involved w/a narcissist, to deal w/or rationalize with them/ outsmart them/ manipulate them is to understand their abnormal thinking. Sadly, he is in control- "move on"? not an option. Working rationally w/him is not an option. Pleading to (lack of) common sense- not an option
And you believe a bunch of armchair internet psychologists will arrive at a useful diagnosis?
The diagnosis is useful. It’s beyond question or debate. And mental health professionals have been saying it for years.
Armchair psychologists are about as useful as field generals.
Top psychologists have deemed him a malignant narcissist. Here's the thing with narcissists... to sit them in front of a psyche, they will put their mask on. To see them in day to day interactions, you get the real deal. And,btw, DSM description is in layman's terms.
Play on words. Armchair psychologists. That *is* where they practice.
So sorry. My misunderstanding. I was told it meant "not a real psychologist".
It does. I just thought it was funny. :)
Trying to explain narcissism to those who have not experienced it is like trying to explain the color blue to someone blind from birth. Defies the logical mind. (But, after 100s of hours of seminars/ healing... once I understood... oh, did I have fun! Paybacks are a b!tch)
I'm right there with you. I survived narcissists, and the ppl who keep saying that it doesn't matter rather likely didn't & it shows. If you haven't dealt with a narcissist that has control over you, than you aren't prepared sufficiently enough to move against this one.
However, they are incredibly predictable people once you are savvy to their dysfunction. And yes, that is in fact a useful thing to know when one is your president.
Absolutely. To deal with this guy you have to understand him. He’s actually not that hard to understand. But you have to get over the hurdle of attributing normal reasoning to him.
It's something that therapy and online survivor groups helped me process. You spend years just not being able to describe it to ppl because it sounds insane (because it is) and rarely do ppl see the real person. When you finally get the pattern of behavior, it becomes much easier to manage.
SAME HERE! Mind boggling trying to grasp their mentality! I always say, "trying to tell someone what it's like being with a narc, is like trying to explain the color blue to someone blind from birth". We lived it and it took 100s of hrs to understand. But dang, I can pick one out in a crowd!
Entirely a thing. that description is perfect for the decoding of cluster magical reality for ppl who've not seen it. If anybody you loved has split on you because you disagreed with them about something minor, than you understand a whole lot about Trump's reactions to any kind of disagreement.
I am delighted to see that many of our allies have *finally* begun to realize that Trump's broken brain is what they need to be reckoning with, and that trying to understand him within the same framework as a Biden or Obama or Bush or Clinton is simply a fool's errand, a waste of time, & dangerous.
😅 The economy is being taken down because the Heritage Foundation's Christian Nationalist manifesto, Project 2025, called for it so that dollars are meaningless and the US goes strictly GOLD and CRYPTO. Here's more. It's a 6-month plan, folks. Why do you think fElon and Trump brought up Fort Knox?
Funny how he knew nothing about P2025 but he’s so consistent with it. 🤷♀️ Vought has some scary thinking and he’s getting away with it.
This brochure I put together is like a bingo card now. I didn't include the overtly polarizing topics because I passed these out in Florida.
Yeah, he is a classic personality disorder with narcissism
"bad math" trrummp cant add l +1. he has someone to do the math, like the 80 year old guy who went to prison for him in NY. He has advisors????? doesnt listen cause he is a stable genius. 25th amendment please ASAP
Collective abnormal psychology is what is unique about what’s happening now! The Republican Party seems to have come down with the same malady. Otherwise they wouldn’t join in a collective effort to destroy America.
The DSM-V does not apply to mass psychosis
The Republican Party has been going to the cocaine and sex orgies for years and that’s what they have on them
See this makes sense like why is NONE of them pushing back? Like I get the defense guys as they’re war dogs anyways but the rest of them are just publicly going along with this stupid plan.
"The defense guys" are much more likely to be grifters than "war dogs".
Totally fair!
I’m convinced he is a self-loathing narcissist.
He's a nut, pure and simple. His addled brain is the perfect tool for the evil geniuses from project 2025 to use.
He also has a clear history of delusions, indicated by past interviews in which he states that the government is flying plans over his home just to annoy him.
Self-aggrandizement....
Totally agree. This is what I’ve personally said in other social media. He’s a textbook case. 👍🏼
Fits him to a T.
Gosh it really does! And also: I see what you did there 😉
This also describes so many in this administration. He is just the biggest malignant narcissist of them all.
Yep, textbook.
100% The details don’t matter. The details aren’t what’s useful to him.
He’s already made a big mistake. There’s no coming back from this. America’s reputation has been totally destroyed in less than 4 months.
Bring it back George. You know you want to. I know we need it.
Ackman needs to crawl back under a rock. He is responsible for this mess too.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. He’s losing money and now he’s whining about it. Too bad!!!!
Instead of complaining, he could declare willingness to assist any GOP Congressperson primaried for standing up and/or cover personal security if threats are what's stopping them from doing their jobs. That might actually get some spines partially solidified.
Who's going to be primaried when there is no Govt anymore?
While I fully recognize collapse is possible given how things are going, so many of our recent political problems stem from people thinking they could check out b/c it would be fine either way... and that makes me very skeptical recognition of the govt. by the populace is going to abruptly cease.
"Before he makes a big mistake"? Lol, these morons are so delusional, the baby and the bath water are out already .... duh
Admitting error is a bridge too far for many. They’d rather blame everything from math to space lasers
News media is in deep deep denial about what's actually going on because to admit to what's happening is to expose their complicity
Well, damn. As a gay person I thought I held power to cause calamities.
open.substack.com/pub/albertth...
Read this during soccer practice. Thx
You can’t reason with a malignant narcissist. Unlike the proverbial evil aunt or mother-in-law, you can’t excise this one from our lives and pretend he doesn’t exist.
And Europe is being taken down by another mad man I mean, why do we allow this?
To me, Ackman is a jerk!!! He was all in giving over $400,000 to the orange terd. Then, he has the nerve to complain how mad and shocked he is!? Yet, he still believes in orange terd's policies. Especially the DEI policy. Someone tell him the toothpaste is out of the tube!
The math was correct. The logic was idiotic.
I was married to a malignant narcissist for 23 years and so clearly see the similarities! PS He’s a Trumper 🙄
He wiped out a solid year of gains in two days. And it didn't even stop after that.
Republicans suck at everything except complaining since 1989 Democrats have created 51 million jobs. Republicans 1 million jobs. That’s right the Republicans are horrible for the deficit always have been because they give these rich motherfuckers tax cuts. That’s just about to happen again. Felon
They talked shit about Biden. If Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema would’ve been on board, Biden would be president right now, remember how many times they said no the Republicans said no and the economy still is through the roof, Trump killed Obama’s economy, and Biden’s economy.
I am intimately familiar with the DSM because I was a therapist for 25 years. But no one has been listening to the professionals screaming into an abyss for years.
I started to pay respect more for therapists, psychologists, & psychiatrists after took a course a few decades ago*. Also, it helps me to understand better about people and their behaviors. *Course: “Intro to Abnormal Psychology” Thx u for providing services to the people who need the help
It is sad that people lack respect for masters level health care professionals. It requires much study. And psychiatrists are some of the most learned physicians that we have as the brain is complex and they help many people with organic brain diseases, such as schizophrenia, live decent lives.
He has already made the big mistake
Yep, Trump is incapable of admitting he may be incorrect or that the course he is charting may not deliver what is required (for other people)
It’s been clear for some time he has narcissistic personality disorder and clearly attention seeking ones as well. Also batshit crazy but won’t find that term in the DSM.
Cluster B personality disorder is what we used to call being an antisocial asshole.
In effect, shit for brains. Why are people convinced that an aging conman with a clusterfuck of enablers and toadies is doing anything but committing global economic suicide so he can once again say, "Only I can fix it"? Time for a serious mental health intervention.
Right Right Know your enemy and know your self and in a thousand battles you will never be defeated - Sun Tzu Art of War 600 A.D.
Why does Ackman think that Trump is just acting on "bad advice"? Trump campaigned on levying across the board tariffs on all our trading partners. He is even floating the idea of replacing the Federal income tax with tariffs.
I've seen snippets of him praising tariffs for 40 years. If he's acting on bad advice, it's from a long-term acquaintance.
You're just pissed it's working George. Go on. Wet your dooty and tell me how terrible life is since the new leader with a spine, a plan and no one like you on his side trying to root for your country and your president to be successful. You're the reason you got obliterated in November.
Russian bot
Good debate. Thanks
People in behavioral health been saying this for years. There is no fix for what is wrong with him. He must be contained.
Yeah, nothing about that was math.
Wondering if the $6 trillion going to pay down the deficit.
He thinks he’s a king, a king of the world. The law doesn’t apply. The people do not matter. And he’s got the nukes.
Well they listened to Ackman and made a course correction, turning to steer directly into the iceberg this time!
Those of us who have been educated by Dr. Bandy X Lee have known this since the beginning of his first term.
Wake up. They are laughing their heads off in the Kremlin.
What would get the administration’s attention is if all these billionaires and hedge funds said they were going to back the Dems in the midterms. Show some b@lls!
Americans need to realize that the orange one intentionally is trying to crash the economy so he can buy up the fallen stocks. He has stated this intention in the past.
Having survived two full blown Malignant Narcissists, I will tell you from experience that the ONLY way you can ' deal ' with them is : Get your exit plan in place. First. Then, get in their face. Loud. Hit them with rapid fire truths. As their mouths gape, walk out the door.
Most people will tell you to walk away and not confront a malignant narcissistic But I did the same as you and confronted him Took three years, but he finally gave up and went away
Good for you !! I also left a 14 page detailed letter about all the damage he did, and how that rippled out to affect others. I also sent copies to his siblings. I wasn't waiting for Karma...
Impressive!
Good advice for dealing with a narcissist. What do we do about the masses who hang on his every syllable as though he was god? And the lap dogs in congress who off the record, are aghast at what's happening, afraid for their safety & that of their families, and refuse to denounce him?
Unfortunately, we can't do anything for them. The entire country is now experiencing malignant narcissism. Every form of it. Gaslighting, projection, triangulation, trauma bonding, etc.. Those you mentioned that hang on tight are trauma bonded to him. He created the lies of trauma...
It's frightening how gullible & weak people are- especially those in power. Like Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project says, no one was a Nazi in 1946. Cooperators were suddenly "a confused patriot or victimized civilian". "Authoritarianism thrives on the lubrication provided by the elites."
Yep. Exactly.
Thank you sir.
Never did I think that America would — or could exchange our democracy for a pathocracy. Trump is a textbook psychopath whose goal isn’t only to enrich himself but to inflict as much pain as possible on others. Cruelty seems to be one of his main tenets. #TrumpIsDeranged
No he’s a textbook malignant narcissist. i’d honestly argue they can be more dangerous than psychopaths. www.carlacorelli.com/narcissistic...
Absolutely. He is a non-sustainable liability for the PLANET. Everything he touches DIES.
The only person who has said this as much as I have may be George Conway. Can’t believe we’re a decade into Trump and so many people still have NO DAMN CLUE what Trump is — even though too psychologists have been explaining and proving his pathology for years.
Can we please stop calling the orange temper tantrum throwing toddler "the president"? He's a narcissistic, vengeful imbecile w/ 3rd grade grammar that should be in prison for inciting an insurrection, wilfully mishandling highly classified documents & being a 34x convicted felon on other charges.🤬
It will be some kind of miracle if we survive Trump, and these sociopath groupies he surrounds himself with--but, if no miracle be descending from the heavens, we will just have to produce one of our own. Trump has to be removed...only the wealthy can afford to leave, so he has to. Resist!
He's a malignant narcissist.
Now Trump is going to put tariffs on pharmaceuticals. He is tarrorist terriffist?
@gtconway.bsky.social its not a mistake. It’s a design by intent, by the people far smarter, and more evil than Trump. (This is some DARK stuff.) demodirge.substack.com/p/republican...
Simple answer is that Trump is a moron.
As a therapist, I can assure you that mental illness and intellectual disabilities are not mutually exclusive.
Why before April 9?
Yeah I’m sure it’s the advisory’s fault lol
WHEN YOU HAVE A NARCISSIST THINKING HE'S A STABLE GENIUS AND KNOWS ECONOMICS THIS WHAT YOU GET BANKRUPTCY COMING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SOON!!!
Ackman = Yuckman
i wish i hadn't read, what you said to read
Its Queens playground stuff
Before he makes a big mistake????? His whole existence is a big fucking mistake!
Trump is a very good example of HPD. Kind of a top of the line histrionic in fact.
Trump is a cluster bomb of destructive behaviors. That’s what Republicans love about him.
The sociopath in me loves the sociopath in you? That is the whole ball of wax in a nutshell, to mix metaphors.
Please don’t use the above list as a reason to excuse Trump, who is sui generis.
No excuse. To quote the forensic psychiatrist on TV's "Law and Order" show, "Narcissists know the difference between right and wrong; they just don't give a damn."
💯💯💯💯
It can't be excused. Almost every totalitarian murderous dictator has been narcissistic sociopaths.
Ya’ll are missing the whole point of George’s statement. Pointing out that chump is a malignant narcissist doesn’t excuse him. But it helps to know that to understand him better. Understanding something does not equal excusing it.
Nobody is excusing it. But it’s 100% the explanation for why and how he will never change. In other words, don’t expect it to ever change. To the contrary, narcissists also just double down on their asshole behavior when called out on it. Sound familiar?
Pass this on to all my cuz’s. 😃 The General Strike! Read about it, sign the strike card, pass it on (on all your socials, word-of-mouth, everywhere!). Follow @generalstrikeus.bsky.social for updates! generalstrikeus.com
Done!✅ 😊
Excuse It? 25th It!
No, never an excuse. It's explanatory. And he is 78 and never sought treatment so his pathologies will not change and will get worse as he declines further. He has no excuse. He had all the resources to get treatment and did not. Very few ppl w NPD ever get treatment. It has to be lifelong, ongoing
Explanatory about him, but also apparently giving joy to tens of millions of Americans who are either just as effed up, or who can only find gratification in watching the suffering caused by this deeply ill man.
Well look at it this way. Trump is the abusive, narcissistic boyfriend/husband and his supporters are the gaslit victims/wife/girlfriend who keep blaming themselves for his bad behavior and making excuses for him.
Whose got the codes briefcase 🙏🏼⁉️
I don't excuse him on the basis of mental impairment. He is certainly unique. I certainly don't excuse the people around him and in Congress who know full well how impaired and despicable he is, but follow along anyway for their own agendas, and out of greed or fear.
What then, he’s a mean witch? We have science to explain phenomena and that list is accurate and appropriate.
There are plenty of appropriate responses per psychology to address his responsibilities. Every person has responsibilities.
He’s all those things highlighted in yellow AND those that are not highlighted in yellow!
He checks alllll the boxes
Malignant narcissist. Some parts of the brain never developed.
There are different types of narcissistic PD. Most psychiatrists say he is a malignant narcissist with anti-social personality disorder. He completely lacks any ability to empathize with a person which rules out BPD. he's a demented sociopaths.
That’s Cluster B, two ways of saying trump is a certified sick fuck snd should be neutralized.
The Dark Triad - check it out
Yup! That is why I will continue to see him & MAGA as this (except it seemed Joker was against the rich, and in our unfortunate timeline he’s on their team 🙄..well, until his delusions of grandeur & lust for more power screw them over too):
I would have highlighted all of the above
So if this were a multiple choice test, the answer is - All of the above
This is not an excuse. It’s just sad how manipulative behaviors seem to be in charge
Trump is in Cluster F disorder. Everything in the DSM manual.
So because I have borderline, I'm like Trump and his band of murderous racist assholes? I thought conservatives were the ableist ones who hated the mentally ill. Guess it's everyone.
The highlighted behaviors above I termed “destructive.” Are they not? Pointing out destructive behaviors is not stereotyping people. We do people lots of good by helping them see their destructive behaviors. What good would we do anybody by excusing destructive behavior as a disability?
Ah yes. Trump is here reading this for sure. That makes sense. 🙄
There are so many different combinations of diagnostic criteria to make a BPD diagnosis. Just because you may have the diagnosis does NOT necessarily make you like him. Especially since he has so much overlap with the other Cluster B diagnoses. Of course, the DSM-5 no longer has these “clusters.”
And I'm assuming everyone here is a doctor and has access to his medical records before they make these blatantly ableist statements?
Trumps issues are pretty obvious
"Attention seeking behavior" means he obviously has histrionic personality disorder? Guess every single person on social media does too.
Someone in this thread said he has BPD bc he's "emotionally unstable". Please tell me how one piece of diagnostic criteria that could apply to everything from being hungry to tired is "pretty obviously" borderline. All I see is that it's pretty obviously ableist
BPD is the one Cluster B disorder he displays the fewest traits of, if any!
Traits aren't a diagnosis
Narcissists (ASpd) never get diagnosed because they’re not sick, you are.
You’re absolutely right to bring this up. I’d just add that learning more than I knew before—especially by reading the Mayo Clinic’s guide to personality disorders—helped me start to understand my dad, who passed away over 15 years ago.
It seems like our understanding of personality disorders is still developing, similar to how knowledge around other neurodevelopmental or spectrum-related conditions has grown over time.
It is always tempting to use these guides as an “Aha!” checklist, & I think we need to be patient with each other when we make assumptions. I believe it is possible to opine that Trump has a narcissistic PD, but to acknowledge that this is an opinion made without an official diagnosis.
And we do need to be careful that we don’t throw labels around, & that we don’t cancel each other when inevitably, we do just that.
I think there's a big difference between thinking our family, who are genetically linked to us and who we actually KNOW, may share mental illnesses with us and .. you know, diagnosing a reality tv star
💯 But it’s a very tempting easy mistake to make, which is why I think you were right to point it out, but that maybe we can be understanding of why people do this, especially for a man who is literally destroying services for people with PDs & other disabilities.
I’m a psychiatric nurse yeah Trump gas these traits definitely, no one said anything about you. Shouldn’t take things personally. Trump is a bad person and he’s mentally ill.
"Don't take things personally" is perhaps the stupidest advice I've ever heard
In simple language - Trump is a madman.
When will the quote unquote experts realize his only strategy is coming from the voices in his head?
Please. For Trump it’s all about revenge and this time it’s for criticism he took over tariff negotiations during his first term.
And what if Trump stays the current course...what then?
China will blink. No way they want 104% tariffs. They're mad at Trump for doing this, but they're not idiots. China will blink, Trump will cancel the tariffs, the stock market will come back, his billionaire buddies will make bank, & MAGA will hail him as a genius. Then it's on to the next crisis.
The stock market won't recover for a long time, probably years up to a generation. The reason is because he changes his mind often and continues to create uncertainty in the market. Countries won't want to do business with the US; they'll look to alternatives. Smoot-Hawley+Depression lasted ~10yrs.
I don't think so. They count time in centuries and millenia. We aren't that big a market for them, and they can sell their goods elsewhere, and buy elsewhere as well.
Watching asshole Ackerman trying to justify and cope w/ the consequences of having supported a mad man makes my blood boil. Latest example of dumbfucks who think they’re so smart. These assholes skipped all history lessons. And we all pay the price.
I think you mean “yet another big mistake.”
I'm in the UK. Never heard of Patti. Different countries, different casts. Top, absolutely right on the nail. 👍😀
Solid
Patti, I'm not familiar with your work, but you just gained a fan because you are standing on fkn business!! I stand alongside you, get fucked you orange cunt
Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on. C’mon people, let’s be Real! The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
Can we not make this about NPD? Most people with cluster b disorders have it as a result of trauma, and are victims, and can be good people if they learn to cope with their trauma. Demonizing NPD like this only makes it harder for those who suffer to actually get help.
I mean, what even is the goal of this post? To say trump shouldn't be president because he has NPD, and not... Yk, him trying to genocide people, destroy our countries institutions, and crash our global economy? There have been plenty of narcs & sociopaths in office, not all of them bad.
THANK YOU So tired of this kind of crap
Yeah, I hate so fucking much that every supposed mental health advocate only seems to care about the societally accepted ones.
It's way too common
In the case of Donald he has Cluster F personality, the chapter still being written!
hahah lol .. that's funny .. do you really think they are going to admit a mistake
Mind fuckery
way beyond a text-book case here
indeed, when your bad behavior is encouraged and rewarded by tens of millions of people, only a monster can result
👍
His dad taught him well.
He would be powerless without synchopaths
Exactly! It’s just mind blowing how many supposedly smart people can’t see that. It’s been evident for years.
It's been evident his whole life. That's why his parents sent him off to Boarding School.
Military school. And it did not help.
Military high school made him disrespect those who chose to serve. Imagine going to a military school and then dodging the draft? It's no wonder that he considers soldiers "suckers and losers."
I certainly wouldn’t put all the blame on the military high school. He disrespects everybody, not just the military. He’s been a malignant narcissist since he was in grade school.
I put none of the blame on his high school. I'm saying that as a military HS grad, he should have felt particularly guilty about refusing to serve in Vietnam. He replaced that guilt with a disrespect for those who did serve.
Got it! Great point
I re-read my post and it was confusing.
Well, I was reading it pretty fast anyway. I’m not always the most articulate.
Yep.
I understand why he is mad at us. But the whole world?
It's a death cult that's begun the vigil for his natural demise. He's raging about it, so everything around him has to die.
I doubt it was bone spurs that made the felon 4F. How about those heavy duty psych meds his daddy Abwehr Leiter Trump had him on. 36 months free of drugs to be in the U.S. Military? Heck, the insufferable fascist had no choice but get his toy soldier gig with KGB.
He will never admit a mistake. His ego would take too much of a hit.
Funny how Ackman is changing his shoes now that he's losing a lot of money.
Your are spot on. Narcissists are about two things, attracting adulation and avoiding accountability...They are dramatic impulsive erratic, emotional, and above all lack empathy.
Absolutely right! Pathological narcissist is not that difficult to diagnose when it’s this profound. Even for laymen.
Brilliant observation, George
bill ackman needs to make a course correction out of the public forum.
I am King! I am the law! To Joffrey! Long may he reign!
Exactly. King Chump has an insatiable addiction to power, acquisition, adoration and control. Everything he does is about that. Always. He does not care about normal people things.
📌
"Before"? The mistake was made when this insane sadist was taken seriously, so that is 10 years. Mr. Conway is correct. The Chief Felon is crazier than a shit house rat.
Why doesn't everyone who has a spine leave "X" already? If you want to retaliate, retaliate!
Exactly!👏👏👏
deliberate bad math
THANK YOU! You are SO freaking correct! Delusions of grandeur.Thinks he's so special, so anointed, that everything he does is golden and will be golden. and he keeps so many "yes" men around him, they support the delusion and even SHARE the delusion see Folie a Deux (or Shared Delusional Disorder).

I thought it was Cluster F. (Cluster fuck)
Spot on
He’s going to torch everything until he is stopped.
He’s literally planning on chopping down half our trees and calling it an “emergency“ - the one he created.
If you’re in DC tomorrow, join us outside the GSA building where Musk’s DOGE minions are illegally camping out. We’re having a dance party. Should be fun. 1800 F St. NW, DC www.popville.com/events/dance...
Trump doesn't care-his malignant narcissistic personality disorder tells him he's king, all others R his subjects, tariffs & the stock markets R his toys. The firing of NSA Cmdr/Cybersec & Dep. Dir. R NOT a coincidence - Trump is trying to eliminate any electronic path of stolen wealth to avoid jail
Kennedy pissed off the wrong people. Trump has pissed off the entire world. The necessary thing needs to be done, and quickly.
Chris Hayes has posited that the toad wants to back to days of McKinley. I'm wondering the about Czolgoz factor in that scenario.
Need a bunch of Luigis
CLUSTER B personalitydisorder .. I knew someone. Recognised it immediately. No ability to change. In short, belief in a false self. Dig deeper, the monstrosity unleashes itself. Flight or fight.. Personally fly 🕊 Publicly FIGHT 💪🤜🤛👊
Oh that's so quaint... expecting anyone near proximity of Trump to admit a mistake.
Pfffft. Bad math my butt.
"William A. Ackman"--no one calls him that in the business world. . is he trying to diss Trump incognito? He's losing big time and now he's speaking up? Tariff Day tomorrow for you "William A. Ackman".
Why does everyone believe it was an error?? It’s exactly what they planned.
Also it's not his advisors, it's the moron at the top.
Mental health practitioner here, I’ve been saying this for 10 years !!
Course, correction, my ass! They need to take down all the fucking tariffs and try and reestablish some sort of diplomatic discourse with our trade partners all over the world. What am I saying that’s not gonna fucking happen Game over man!
Admit their error. 🤣😂😀🤨🥺🤮
And what is the psychological condition of the 49% that put such an obviously disordered man in office? That is the real question
Racism and their dads or (any loving adult figure) didn't hug them as children, so they joined a paternalistic cult in search of some glimmer recognition from a father figure. They all need therapy. Can't think on their own. No individual personality/self. Just the cult identity...and the racism
Perhaps mental acuity testing as part of holding office, performance reviews, fiscal transparency assessments with dark money accountability.
📌 THIS must be stated every day.
Gee, it seems like somebody has been saying this about Trump for a couple of decades, but especially since the golden escalator in 2015. I was in business with his mental illness doppelgänger, and I said then that it wouldn’t end well for anybody. I’ve been 100% right so far.
THANK YOU, GEORGE!
Your diagnosis is in Clusterfuck B(itch)
Made it up for clout. Trumps DJT stock is locked in vesting for fair while. I don't get why people feel the need to make shit up when the reality is so damning.
On point. By the way: www.yahoo.com/news/fact-ch...
Thanks for pointing that out
Source?
Got it from here but also seen other posts from different people on X bsky.app/profile/rick...
Yes
As a mental health professional, I love how you've taken an interest and get it in a way many don't. I HIGHLY recommend you read the book The Sociopath Next Door, too (If you haven't already).
It's a good one!
Not all sociopaths are bad people, though.
Thanks for the tip!
I also recommend Robert Hare, particularly “Without Conscience.”
Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't read that one
Bill Ackman has been a massive Trump supporter. Guess he doesn't like it so much now that the bad stuff might happen to him along with the poor folks and brown people. Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker!
Vote for a clown expect a circus 🤷🏻♀️
I agree this is a dementia patient acting out, unfortunately I have seen it around me in my family but fortunately they were not elected to the presidency when it was going on
The press needs to report that these tariff attacks and retribution against law firms and govt employees are due to Trumps mental illness. His malignant narcissism drives him to act without much thought other than to bully ppl.
The same press that hammered Biden on his age but ignored that The Madman is only about two and a half years younger as is actually dementing?
Exactfuckinlee The problem is we viewers have not made Donnie’s delusional thinking a driving meme that sells papers. The financial experts are calling Tariffs stupid policy and we need to tie his mental impairment to that stupidity
He has plenty of help.
The press is enabling him by calling these tantrums “policy”. Yes the Republicans are scared of the maga base and Elons money but the press needs to call out his mental illness.
Same press that's afraid he's going to kill their mergers/acquisitions, like Disney (could have easily won, but they chose money first). Always follow the money. And if that doesn't work, we know he uses mob-boss tactics, threatening people's lives + the lives of their families.
Agree they are scared of the bully, we as consumers have to call them out in print, on line and in the phone. We are after all the consumers and they don’t want to be Tesla
As a 🇨🇦 who has, literally, spent thousands of hours, days at a time, holding power to account on behalf of 🇺🇸, I'm done. I've spent YEARS of my life....Time for me to focus on 🇨🇦, which has been not only contaminated by but also severely injured by 🇺🇸.
The same press that has barely held him to account since he began campaigning in 2015? Same press that's Republican-owned, donates millions to his campaigns? Same press that lets him be LAWLESS while Dems have to be FLAWLESS?
We as consumers of the media have failed to consistently call them out. We need to put their names on signs in the protest marches. We need to call them out in print, on line and on the phone. They don’t want to be the next Tesla
Exactly
As a collective, yes. But as an individual I am one of those who has been on the frontlines, on several platforms. I'm a big believer in collective, power-of-the-people. I'm going to focus on my beloved 🇨🇦 I genuinely wish the best for 🇺🇸
The maga memes get broadcast cuz they attract viewers
Keep up the good fight that way. The louder we are now the bigger the impact we can have
👍
This is all on magats and the press ! Hope they enjoy what’s coming 🙄
Could not agree with you more. The biggest culprit is this schmuck bsky.app/profile/sane...
“The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump”. Read it! They need to put his arse in a mental facility, along with his delusional regime.
Nothing less than prison!!!! How many laws has he broken at this point?
And convicted of…
Deporting legal citizens w/o due process, for one
There’s not enough space for me to count the laws. Check w Mark Elias and Democracy docket
2026: 218 Dems in the House and 67 Dems in the Senate. Impossible? Absolutely. But impeachment is the only legal way to save the country and Trump isn’t doing himself any good. Change “hands off” to “remove Trump”. Third time’s a charm.
Not trying to be negative but he had less protection last term and was still impeached without any actual consequence. What would be different this time while he has more protection?
Billie Holiday sang in the song “Crazy He Calls Me”: “The difficult i’ll do right now; the impossible will take a little while.” Yes, what i am suggesting is impossible, but Trump has become irrationally destructive, Republicans may become disillusioned, and no one has offered anything better.
I’m with ya
67 Dems in the senate, the jury is no longer rigged in his favor.
Ngl I skipped over it bc that seems unrealistic. But thx for clarifying
I'm honestly kind of here for the big mistake
bsky.app/profile/niff...
Nobody else is seeing this as an attack on the economies of all NATO COUNTRIES???
Thank you George!! Yes, malignant narcissism with psychopathic features, is what we are dealing will.
We’ve known this.
I hope billy ackman is losing millions upon millions of dollars for his clients. Scumbum.
Ackman still thinks he’s dealing with an intelligent, rational administration that wants what’s best for America.
It’s all a warped plan to gut the economy then declare an economic emergency then call for martial law to control everything!
Yep - that's his plan for getting a third term!
Scary. I wonder what will make republicans turn on him and how much do we have go through first?
Precisely. Read this bsky.app/profile/prof...
I think he's already made that mistake
I'm telling you Trump is purposely destroying the wealth of billionaires he envies. He wants to be the richest one among the billionaires and he is willing to destroy their wealth. It's similar to what Putin did to the oligarchs.
finally, someone clocked it.
They're dumber than he is or to afraid to say anything because he might call them a bad name. It's way past time for repubicans to grow up and grow some balls. Article 25 his ass and put him in a padded cell already
Hmmm...sounds a bit like something Tony Soprano might say. Sounds like the last thing Putin says to a person before he has you thrown off a balcony.
I love all the pointing out that he has mental disorders. But ... has it been useful? Like, most of us know know (though I do appreciate you narrowing down which disorder he was). But the rest of folks don't care. Carry on, i support. But not sure it works/matters. (?)
This and compromised.🤷🏼♀️
Trump Musk Tariffs Canada Ferris Bueller History lesson bsky.app/profile/desi...
Somebody needs to send this directly to Trump.. say dear trumpy do you know any history?.. how about this sweet little snippet. And for all the gen z and millennials that may not be paying attention.. this is a perfect cliff note. 💙✌🏻
Ackman's narcissism and hubris has bitten him in the ass and I'm happy to be here to see it. He and a whole bunch of billionaires, driven by self-interest, not wisdom, ignored 50 years of Trump's bumbling and failure and handed him the keys to the economy. No one deserves the comeuppance more.
Ain’t that the truth!
Absolutely. Was waiting for someone to address that here. He knew.
Apparently, Bill, "there is a club, and you ain't in it!"- George Carlin
It's April 9th. Now what????
You lived next door to a Russian mobster and you don't think he's a russian operative? Saudi?
George you’re nuts .
Oh it’s a cluster alright. I don’t know about cluster B, but it’s definitely a cluster.
The only BIG mistake they made was to give this Demented four year old the reins. OF THE WHOLE WORLD. BIG MISTAKE.
I can't believe someone got as rich as ackman and is still such an easy mark. Trump isn't being guided by his advisors on this. This is all Trump, baby.

Yes, we know. Maga supporters haven't come to that realization yet. Many of them can't or refuse to educate themselves.
Stupid is as stupid does.
