Former President Donald Trump appears to be having an unpleasant Friday morning, evidenced by some angry ALL CAPS early morning messages that, well, are beginning to look eerily similar to the sort of conspiratorial rants shouted by homeless people outside Penn Station...

Is there a full moon or something?

Has the Donald hit Narcissistic Collapse?

 

[rareboy]

It has recently been a full moon...but Trump is likely in a constant rage these days. People have been saying he is at the point of narcissistic collapse for months now, but I suspect high blood pressure.

^ Excellent article from Psychology Today on narcissism and narcissistic collapse, and Donald Trump fits it to a 'T'.

To maintain a high level of functioning and stabilize their shaky self-esteem, people with narcissistic personality disorder need continual external validation. When something interferes with their ability to get their usual narcissistic supplies, and they are faced with the possibility of a humiliating public failure, some narcissists collapse, stop functioning, and give up.

I try to catch interviews with Mary Trump since she's a PhD in Psychology and knows The Orange Supremacist well.

One of the thing that I heard her say is that Fred Trump was a sociopath and Donald Sr has so many pathologies that he's difficult to diagnose. He has sociopathic tendencies. His swings between needy and vindictiveness combined with the rages looks an awful lot like Borderline Personality Disorder. His inability to admit he's wrong and his fragile ego do seem a lot like Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

^ I've always thought that Mary was the 'sane' black sheep of the family. And she knows what she's talking about. But she's right about Trump having so many pathologies that it's tough to figure them out, especially when many of them are working at the same time.

Interesting video, too. Mary pulls no punches when it comes to her uncle: "...been allowed to fail upwards spectacularly."

A political analyst recently described both Mango Mussolini and DeSantis as having a "glass jaw", meaning they can deliver a bunch but pussy out when someone hits back.

Mary Trump hits Trump with pretty accurate and often devastating commentary. She's one of the few that Trump doesn't attack on social media (social media: the home village of pussies who can dish it out but can't take it).

That was a great article. It's interesting that when we refer to someone having an "ego" the truth is exactly the opposite, which is that they have a damaged and fragile ego that they don't believe in. They are spending all of their time trying to prop the ego up so that they don't have to face the truth. Like keeping a balloon with holes in it inflated by continuously blowing air into it*. It's exhausting and sooner or later the holes are going to win.

*I borrowed that analogy from The Road Less Travelled.

"...The swagger of 2016 has given way to somnolence in 2022. Opinion polls are grim. Legal setbacks are piling up. A run of dismal results in the midterm elections, culminating in another Republican loss in Georgia this week, have punctured his aura of invincibility within the party." Adding, "Trump has performed astonishing acts of self-sabotage, from dining with antisemites to calling for the constitution to be shredded. He has eschewed a widely-anticipated spree of public rallies, instead remaining largely out of the public gaze,.."

I feel not at all ashamed that I find so much pleasure in that.

Donald Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ is $6M in the red... it’s like a Trump casino, only without the buffet.

Along with Twitler, it looks like all hell is about to break loose on Facebook FascistBook.

I'm preparing to purge my FB account.

Facebook fact-checkers will stop checking Trump after presidential bid announcement [CNN]

Facebook's fact-checkers will need to stop fact-checking former President Donald Trump following the announcement that he is running for president, according to a company memo obtained by CNN.

The Meta memo sent to fact-checkers made clear that if Trump announced a 2024 presidential bid Tuesday night, he could no longer be fact-checked on the platform.

The memo noted that "political speech is ineligible for fact-checking. This includes the words a politician says as well as photo, video, or other content that is clearly labeled as created by the politician or their campaign."

My feed is so tight on FB anymore that all I see are kitten memes and pics and family and friend stuff....and none of them amplify Trump's nonsense.

I complained to FB a few years ago and started blocking anything to do with trump or far right republicans so I never see it either. I also defriended the few people I knew who were trump and conspiracy fans.

Never got on Facebook. Had a harsh reaction to the thought of being pimped to profit Zuckerberg.

Did your complaint get any response?
