Is this just another ego pad for Trump?
It's like a Dictator having all his Yes-Men around him telling him how great he is while he's torching the country...
Trump doesn't need anyone telling him how great he is.
He is a
narcissist, so he actually does need people praising him.
its an interesting proposition.
highly unlikely.
a true narc lacks the ability to judge his own behaviour.
see, we "outsource" most of our sanity.
we interact with other people and then we say or do something and then there are consequences and so we "readjust" our personality.
and in the sort of real "person to person " interactions Trump has been engaging in for decades, you get a lot of feedback, you get a lot of learning.
and in the "people" industries like TV and entertainment and running hotels and in politics when you are pressing the flesh, you would get destroyed if you were unable to socially calibrate and behave in an acceptable way.
if we contrast this with the interactions on this forum though, we see the problem for the true narcissists.
a true narcissist (and gweg and longy seem to behave in this way) interacts on line and there is very little in the way of calibration. there is no opportunity to "press the flesh" from a keyboard in your mummys basement.
and i think gweg and longy have actually drifted. without this human interaction, you will always drift and you will drift towards your area of greatest personality weakness.
i think both longy and gweg are narcs and they would do well to get off the keyboard and go run a business like trump and have some of those impurities burnt out of their personalities .
i mean, how many times can we hear about the size of the presidents hands or allegations he cheats at golf. this is pedantry and OCD that is in a downward spiral
