Pelosi shows how to perfectly own a narcissist like Trump: therapist

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/pelosi-shows-perfectly-narcissist-like-trump-therapist/

snip of article:

Not everyone has the opportunity to work with President Donald Trump. But therapist Stephanie Sarkis PhD
observes that many people have to deal with gas-lighters, bullies and other toxic people in their workplace.

Sarkis looks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s strategy in dealing with Trump and draws lessons that can be applied to the US workplace.

“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has to work with a gaslighter/narcissist – and she gave an excellent example of how to respond to such a difficult person in the workplace,” she writes in Forbes. “Whatever political leanings you have, you most likely have a gaslighter/narcissist in your workplace. Learn from Pelosi’s example on how to handle communicating with one.”

Sarkis points out that when President Donald Trump refused to fund the government over money for his wall, Pelosi responded by canceling his state of the union speech. And she did it in a letter that perfectly shows how to deal with difficult people.

First, Sarkis commends her medium of communication. “Pelosi didn’t tweet a comment – she wrote a letter and signed it,” she says.

Very interesting article how to handle extreme difficult people.

Like, in response to cancelling her fact-finding mission to Afghanistan, she said, "Perhaps the President doesn't understand how these things work...." Which is so true, he has NO CLUE how anything in government operates! Hearing someone like Pelosi say it is like a breath of fresh air.
