@DerLogiker @georgetakei Trump is worse, actually.

Letter to congressional leaders from psychiatrists: 'President Trump exhibits what forensic mental health experts have, across dozens of independent assessments, identified as the “Dark Triad” of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.'

They describe the evidence that he's dangerously unstable, that his "judgment is, by every visible measure, severely compromised" and that "he is a constitutional emergency."

It makes perfect sense that Pierre Auguste Cot's "The Storm" would be Lena Dunham's favorite painting. It was also my narcissistic mother's favorite painting. (Yes, I'm reading FAMESICK. One does need a trashy read between thick tomes every now and then.)

Can we, for the love of fuck, now all finally agree that #Trump is basically just your fuckwit #bigot uncle? He is where he is because of #money, #class, and #TheRepublicanParty agreeing with him and thinking he'd be useful.

He's nothing special. Just the right #narcissist at the right time.

Also, he's got #dementia.

Insightful article from Paul Krugman:

"We’ve also destroyed our moral credibility: Trump may have TACOed at the last minute, but he threatened to commit gigantic war crimes — and for all practical purposes our political and civil institutions gave him permission to do so.”

Krugman is well aware that Trump is a #narcissist and has learned nothing. Brilliant comment on his article, LOL:

"Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation."

One of the most incisive political commentaries I’ve read in a long time: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/08/europe-lesson-donald-trump-era-us-sanity - about an #insane #president who is worse than the pandemic, about the fiction to deal with a #narcissist, about the role of the #EU and why #GB should exit the #Brexit: "Continental #solidarity is not an antidote to chaos amid the waves of a Trumpdemic, but it is the necessary condition for resilience."
BTW, I like this: "The president is mortal. But the Trumpdemic is a more complex syndrome."
Europe cannot bet on a post-Trump US turning back to sanity

If the president’s first term didn’t inoculate the American body politic against tyranny, there is no guarantee that a second dose will work, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Yes, this is not good. I found this when I researched my book. (See bio) For example, Hitler believed the German people had failed him and he wanted the nation to be destroyed with him. Trump will try to take the US down, as Jim says, because he's a #narcissist.

"Trump is exhibiting the deepest, most destructive phase of narcissistic collapse—rupture—where the subject desperately tries to repair his self-image by destroying the world around him."

💯 Trump asked repeatedly in his first term about using nukes, and now he's also desperate. There is nothing a #narcissist will not do; there is no bottom.
