Learn the lesson, Republicans. You can pimp yourself out for Trump for a decade, and he will still stab you in the back when you’ve broken the ethics of your profession and the law for him. There's a long list of attorneys disbarred, facing charges, and even jailed due to him.

“.. The president is ‘furious’ with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

Narcissistic spectrum people are hypersensitive to criticism and accountability, and can't take responsibility for their behavior, whether they are also the psychopathic President or run-of-the-mill people. Admitting they did something wrong is too big a hit to their fragile, damaged egos. 1/

Kaitlan Collins on How She Handles Trump’s Verbal Attacks youtu.be/uwzwFiK4hNY?... (@kaitlancollins.bsky.social)

How to spot a narcissist: • No training, experience or expertise in said topic but claims authority. • Contradicts himself within a few sentences. • Smears the expert. • Recruits the invisible army. • Believes his opinion and “exceptionalism” deserves special treatment.

Trump on Balogun: "That wasn't even an infraction...this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call nobody could believe...he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant...yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."

Why is our narcissistic President hell-bent on renovations and “improvements” to the WH and DC? It allows him to express his superior sense of self. As we’ve seen with Trump’s obsession with crowd size and gold gilding, bigger and overdone is narcissistic supply for him. 1/

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.

Trump on the reflecting pool: "If you had a knife, you can't even cut it." Also, Trump on the reflecting pool: "They cut it."

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

This appears to be the president’s "proof" that vandals are sabotaging the Refelecting Pool.

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

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.

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.

The show's new leader says he fired star Scott Pelley for insubordination. Pelley says he was defending the integrity of the show's journalism after three top executives and two reporters were fired. n.pr/49GNxeh

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

CNN: Would you be okay with people who were convicted of hurting police, getting taxpayer money? Blanche: Just to be clear, people that hurt police get money all the time.

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.

Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years, said he planned to apply to the fund, assuming he could get between $2 and $5 million.

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.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Trump: We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't have to be there. We don't need their oil. We don't need anything they have but we're there to help our allies

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?

Hegseth: "We've known for a long time that Iran had intentions on trying to kill President Trump. While that was not the focus of the effort -- in fact, never raised by the president -- I ensured and others ensured that those who were responsible for that were eventually part of the target list."

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
