You are not going to trick anyone into thinking there is just one person concerned with this.

There is one primary poster because his rants are similar.

You must be joking. Trump's mental health is a topic of conversation all over the world. Literally, my husband is in East Africa right now and the Tanzanians are talking about the crazy American president.

LOL! Thanks for posting!

Rs will continue to publicly support Trump until it's politically expedient for them to begin impeachment proceedings. No wonder he is becoming unglued. 1 puppet with many puppet masters.

The author of the article stated that she has personal experience with NPD. She listed the symptoms of NPD found in the official psychiatric manual. No mental health professional would dare diagnose a person like Trump without a professional evaluation of the man in person. So, take this article for what it is. I think it offers a very clear explanation of Trump's bizarre behavior, e.g. his fixation on the size of the crowd at his inauguration. His behavior looks very like the behavior of a person diagnosed with NPD, per the symptoms the author quoted in her article.

Accusers tend to have these characteristics:

- Dislike of confident, successful people.

-Hallucinating that you have the diagnostic skills of a trained psychiatrist.

- Hallucinating the ability to determine a stranger’s level of empathy, and their need for admiration, based on limited evidence seen out of context.

- Inability to distinguish between a smart operator with a strategy of aggressive response to critics versus a person with fragile self-esteem.

- Inability to understand that labeling one individual with an inflated sense of importance and fragile self-esteem at the same time is harder to explain than you want it to be.

- A deep desire to rationalize one’s own lack of success by imagining the only way that other people attain it is with the help of some sort of personality disorder.

Why do Trump's defenders always assume the people criticizing him are unsuccessful? There are many metrics of success. But even taking Trump's financially-based metric, I may not have gold-plated toilets, but my HHI is high even for the numbers commonly claimed by DCUM supporters...and I've never even had to declare bankruptcy!

This cannot last. Not only is he demonstrating he's got some mental issues, but the focus on his behavior is making it impossible to govern effectively. No way to build support for a plan when calls to the NPS and imaginary mass voter fraud are all anyone is talking about.

I'm not sure this is the liability you think it is. Congressional Rs don't need to build support right now for their policies. In fact, they know their policies could not possibly muster broad-based support...so distractions from their policies serves their interests.

They have both Houses of Congress and a POTUS who will sign anything that Bannon puts in front of him. That's all they need.

Is Scott Adams a psychiatrist as well as a cartoonist?

Duh, only liberals can be questioned on their credentials and expertise. Anyone who supports Trump is free to do, with impunity, exactly what they accuse liberals of doing. It's actually a trait of NPD per the article in the OP.

Clearly, this is your failure in life. You ain't winnin' if you ain't taking other people's money down with you.

Of course. Thank you for re-educating me into the ways to make America, and Americans, great again! #AlternativeReality

Trump has been a useful iidiot. The GOP is going to nervously kick back for a few weeks and give Trump enough rope to hang himself and tank his already miserable approval ratings. He's a one-term president at most and this is politically expendable. They're not going to sign off in massive infrastructure spending or give up on privatizing Social Security, HSAs and Medicaid block grants.

In case you want to ask people who worked for him or leave a message for POTUS, since WH comments page is shut down

Pence and Congress can invoke the 25th Amendment. That is a cleaner solution.

They will if it starts looking like the House is in peril anyway.
Unlikely given the gerrymandering.
