Psychopaths are characterized by the ease with which they lie, the smooth disregard and lack of concern they show for being caught in a lie, the expertise by which they mold the narrative to suit their manipulations, and the absence of any emotional connection to their deceit.

Generally, saboteurs don't broadcast their actions, unless, of course, they're malignant narcissists.

This is Trump’s inner world projected onto the physical one we inhabit. Trump controls the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

The fiasco with Trump’s war with Iran better have Republicans convinced that malignant narcissists are highly dangerous as leaders because their extreme grandiosity is compounded by a lack of conscience, paranoia, and sadism. 🧵

Beyond the loss of freedoms and rights, the injustices, and all the criminality and corruption, Trump and his administration have destroyed innumerable careers of competent, ethical people. No “human being” exploits and destroys for self-preservation and survival like a malignant narcissist.

Republicans manipulatively justify their obnoxious and exploitative behavior with logical fallacies.

Our government is paying our tax money to criminal sociopaths. This is malignant normality — coined by psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton to describe a societal state where destructive, unethical, or fundamentally abnormal behaviors are normalized and ultimately accepted as standard practice.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes. It has to stop. Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15. We must stop it. Join the fight here: 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com

It's scary to have a President this divorced from reality.

The enablers of malignant narcissists eventually become the malignant narcissist’s targets. Someone must always take the fall for the incompetence, failures, and wrongdoing of the narcissistic psychopath. Not only do they need deflections, but they are also paranoid of subversion.

So Musk’s DOGE was composed of smug, contemptuous, grandiose and exploitative young males with no empathy, no remorse and no guilt.

If you don't think the malignant narcissist would suggest a threat and then launch a drone attack on his own country to blame Iran, you don't understand his psychopathology.

So there's a very long list of countries to attack?

In a functioning democracy, Trump would have had to go to Congress and make a case for war. In a dictatorship, Trump kills whomever he wants to.

The dysfunctional narcissistic psychopath is intrinsically dichotomous and hypocritical. Their narcissism is always at odds with their psychopathy. They seek adoration, idolization, and reverence (peace prize), but their behavior is only ever immoral and criminal (war starter).

The political, religious, cultural, and financial implications of what malignant narcissists do are secondary to their quest for omnipotent power over people. Their psychic survival depends on the dominant drive of protecting their aggrandized self at any cost to us or the world.

The Dark Triad: narcissism, psychopathy, sadism.

Narcissistic psychopaths are pathological liars. Trump’s been doing it in the open for 10 years. The question is what’s wrong with Republicans?

We should be worried about the “eight wars resolved” hyperbole given his rhetoric about: Iran Venezuela Cuba Colombia Greenland Mexico Canada Panama Iraq Syria Nigeria Somalia

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are two lawless criminals who will kill civilians to distract from their own corruption.

After a decade of narcissistic projection, if Americans didn't know that Trump was going to do everything he accused Kamala of — from being incompetent to starting wars to destroying the country — then they’re ignorant, stupid, coercively controlled or some combination thereof.

Minnesota effectively fought back against ICE so now we have to pay for their narcissistic injury. They catastrophize a fraud case that's already been prosecuted. Trump, the king of fraud, fabricates a smear campaign with narcissistic projection, the truth about him. Wash, rinse, repeat.

We will not be sanctioning Russia for dropping bombs on schools and hospitals. We will be sanctioning Minnesota for allowing its wine moms to blow whistles at ICE officers. by JD Vance

This speech by George Conway on “the spirit of liberty” contends with this moment in the destiny of our precious democracy. This is a generational address delivered with the intellect, character and integrity we desperately need. It begins around 30:00. www.youtube.com/live/3UkV400...

“Psychologically, [Trump's] deteriorating. He’s getting worse. He’s dangerous. He’s a nut job. He’s a criminal. He’s a malicious human being who has no conscience, no morals, no remorse, no empathy. And he controls 5,000 nuclear weapons.”

There’s little worse for caring, decent people than the violative betrayal of having someone or something you love defiled by a narcissistic psychopath and his cabal, and then the narcissistic colluding minions celebrating it. This societal debasement of character is excruciating.

Donald Trump will HATE this ad when he sees it during the Olympic hockey final. Let’s win gold. And then win back our country. LFG USA 🏅🔥🇺🇲

As said by @narceducator.bsky.social :

Oh yes, thinking a high Dow is compensatory for letting the predators involved in a child trafficking ring go with impunity is like being ok with a serial killer as long as he has the power to make you rich. Oh, wait…

Trump needs to experience a Gordie Howe hat trick.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

The narcissistic psychopath is involved in subversive activities far worse than our conscience-filled minds can conjure up. Trump tells us what he’s done and what he will do by projection and by telegraphing. The released Epstein files were for appeasement because the unreleased will end him.

🎯

A democratic society organized around the assumption that everyone has some degree of morality committed to truth, honor and integrity is no match for a cabal of conscienceless malignant narcissists without a single characteristic of humanity — pure evil masquerading as human.

Trump and the exploitative personality disorders running this adm and our federal government cause much more damage and harm to our society than ever could the “danger of immigrants,” their fabricated fear mongering and justification for power and control. Inescapable self-sabotaging pathology.

I guarantee you there’s much, much worse in the unreleased Epstein files regarding Mr. Projection:

This is one of the school superintendents in a western district of the Twin Cities. She and school board members are being followed and intimated. This has nothing to do with immigration. It’s about creating fear.

It’s a statement about our society that exploiters who are dumb as rocks get the power they do.

As I said the other day,

The bloodshed isn't due to the rhetoric of decent people. It’s due to the actions of sociopaths with power.

Nothing is changing. Thugs are gonna thug.

Homan is a professional liar. He is fear mongering with fabrications and catastrophization with fake boogeymen and shared enemies like every exploiter. The typical “our control over you and your loss of freedoms is for your safety and security. Only we can protect you.” No thanks.

As a Minnesotan, I am grateful for this excellent piece. I also heard Adam Serwer on The Weeknight on MS Now yesterday where he also nailed the dynamics of what’s transpiring here. 1/

Insane, yes, but it's what happens when we give power to sociopaths.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.
