Trump is a Narcissist. This is a post for everyone still asking why he acts as he does.
He is not crazy or psychotic.
He rages, and when he does, he can seem to be, and really, might as well be.
Narcissists are completely aware of reality. They understand the words you are saying. They remember things just fine.
The problem is… they don’t care. They don’t care about reality. They don’t think that the truth is important. They don’t think that YOU should think that the truth is important.
When they rage, they are almost always angry about something that they cannot acknowledge or express. They must find a different reason for the rage that already exists, even if they have to make something up. Even if they have to blame their rage on you.
We are talking about an ego so overblown that it is literally pathological. Narcissist’s egos are so inflated that they actually think that they have the right to declare what reality is, whether or not it is actually true. The universe revolves around them and exists only for them.
Why wouldn’t they be able to tell you what is real with omnipotent authority? What right should actual facts have in denying what a narcissist declares the truth to be? It’s not a lie if the narcissist is telling it. He is re-writing reality because he wants to and he feels entitled to do so.
Not because he's crazy or psychotic.
