Re: Trump and Narcissism
It's important to understand: narcissism is not genuine self love. It's only immutable selfishness. There's as much love in narcissism as there is love from a man who beats his wife to stay with him because he "can't live without her."
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

It’s astonishing to me his supporters can read something like that and not have a moment of clarity.

Ok, I didn't watch the 23 minute video. I watched for a couple minutes and he kept repeating himself and the internet connection went dead. But is he saying this quote is evidence that Donald Trump is a narcissist? To me it's just the plain spoken truth.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 5:52 pm“I'm the only thing standing between the American dream and total anarchy, madness and chaos.”

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Ajax. When Trump tweets this out does it not flip the light switch on for you?

The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives! @SteveFDA”
The head of the FDA is a Trump appointee. This is bananapants levels of crazy.

Im not sure why you posted these? It seems to be a clear contradiction to the Board Rules where one is to offer a question or semi-tangible point of departure for discussion....not just a "here, make of it what you will" thread.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 3:24 amSharing 3 more videos by Dr. Todd Grande. I really appreciate what he does in the short time that he does it. Found him during searches on criminals.

So you honestly believe that no other person in America can save the American dream and total anarchy, madness and chaos than Donald Trump?

Wow. A couple of minutes? There's 3 videos there. You obviously don't give a damn. So why are you posting on this thread?ajax18 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 6:57 pmOk, I didn't watch the 23 minute video.

President Trump to hold news conference on Sunday to discuss "major therapeutic breakthrough"
That should probably scare the sh-it out of us all. We'll see...

Remember, everything Trump or one of his supporters says makes perfect sense if you just take the time to remind yourself they are morons.

Re: Trump and Narcissism
Narcissist or no, Donald Trump is going through a very tough time as a human being. In one week, his brother dies and his sister's recorded voice describes him as a cruel man with no principles. The Democrats hold a convention where an unprecedented group of Republicans align themselves with the Democrats against Trump. His former campaign manager is arrested in a conspiracy to defraud a fund to build the wall that the President promised would be payed for by Mexico. And 8 years of his taxes will eventually come into the hands of fraud investigators.
Desperation is the order of the day. Biden hates God. Send troops to polling places. The FDA is run by the deep state. The very real question is whether Donald Trump will accept a defeat at the polls. He has not indicated that he would.
The Pandemic has crippled the President's (second) favorite tool of communication: speaking to a rally of adoring fans. For 90 minutes at a time, he gets to inhabit a world where everything he says is happily accepted as gospel. Now adoring crowds are few and far between and the questions about 170,000 Covid-19 deaths dwarf anything he may have accomplished.
If I had to guess about Trump's theme (as much as it is separate from the GOP) it will be martyrdom. This monstrous injustice being done to him. How he was doing such a great job until the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune brought him down.
