Can Trump Comprehend Facts? Is His Ego Just Too Big?

He's CRAZY. He's a sociopath. He is a pathological liar. He is an unapologetic plagiarist.

There are lots of derogatory things said about Trump, and whether you believe them or not, there is one that we should all be keenly focused on because it drives everything he says and does. 

I think it's the most dangerous part of his personality by far and could set us up for destruction in ways we can't even imagine. It scares me because he can't be reasoned with.

I am referring to NPD - Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

From Psychology Today

1. Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others.

2. Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.

3. Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions.

4. Needing constant admiration from others.

5. Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others.

6. Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain.

7. Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs.

8. Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them.

9. Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

When you can't even state a fact because it doesn't line up with the delusion in your head ... you have ZERO business being the leader of the free world!

 

No matter how you align yourself politically, we all have to agree that having someone who is literally incapable of stating the truth, should never even have the chance to be President... of any country ... on any planet! 

After considering all of the above, do you need more red flags to be convinced he is unfit? No problem, here's a fun one. 

When the most prominent right wing "spin doctor" on the planet - Karl Rove - is blasting Trump about what a disaster he created involving the $4 Billion  "Boeing Blunder" ... you might want to think real hard about your continued support for him. 

By the way, it's very healthy to admit a mistake.

So to answer my own question, yes, his ego can be too big to simply process facts. If you can't get facts right because you suffer from NPD on some level, then maybe there should be a law that you don't get to be the leader of the free world. 

And we should figure this out before we elect them.
