Good points. On the paranoia: is this also not more likely due to narcissistic injury? My impression is that paranoia in context of such personality disorders is more often preemptive and constant rather then reactionary due to his bubble of grandiosity being burst. On the ADHD: either it is part or it isn’t but I disagree that it is trivial. We’re trying to make sense of this cheese brain and it should help us (voting world population) to better understand the tendency of self-absorbed people, like he, getting positions of power aiding our democratical collapse.

I’d like to gently push back on some of that. Most of his abhorrent behaviour can be explained by narcissism and the fact that he’s 80 years old. You wouldn’t expect someone that old with poor sleeping schedule while eating exclusively fast food to be cognitively sharp. Also on the label malignant: this has a specific meaning as a qualifier for narcissistic personality disorder. In short:

• narcissism: clearly met. Being admired for his imagined business acumen is his highest goal.
• anti-social: met but can be explained in function of narcissism itself.
• paranoia: I’m not seeing it.
• sadism: I see suffering in the wake of his destructive path but it seems more a consequence than a goal per se.

There are some commentors who claim that his lack of inhibition and poor impulse-control and capriciousness and short attention span is better explained by ADHD. Things are what they are, that he is a malignant political force and basically a stinking sack of shit is clear but it is not useful to attribute additional labels to him that can be explained with what we know already as it would muddy the waters and give your statement less weight.

My apologies, I haven’t read this entire post and just got hung at the first few lines. Observers can disagree on order of certain events but will not disagree on causal relationship of events: these cannot travel faster than light. Bells theorem excludes local hidden variables that would otherwise explain the behaviour seen in quantum entanglement experiments but does not allow for FTL exchange of information.

Is his loss not better attributed to his opponents lack of support for Israel as opposed to his contribution to the Russian interference investigations? Someone correct me if I misunderstand this situation.

He will MitchMcConnel the presidency and be president for life - post mortem. No one will see him and whatever dark forces are present will pull the strings. His asinine social posts will continue by LLM and this will be the justification of his existence. The supreme Court will establish his beyond 4 years / 2 term limitation. I should become a horror story writer.

Oh but he works incredibly hard: to maintain the illusion that makes him appear better than he is and he works hard to convince himself of it. Lack of work does not lead a person to become like him, rather the lack of validation of parents or guardian. I imagine that daddy business man only ever praised him for certain accomplishments if they aligned with the father’s own priorities and ignored his child otherwise in his needs. He evolved this way to optimise for the benefit of his relationship with his parents. It’s a tale as old as time of daddy issues.

Breaking this illusion by the means of which you wrote, in what it is that makes him superior, will only lead to his suffering and will not bring about any constructive change but I understand that this is something you desire: his reign leaves us all feeling with a lack of justice and accountability.

It’ll work out because my impulsivity has never met any consequences and my delusion of self grandeur will warp my perception, whatever the out come might be, as a victory I can sell as evidence for admiration I desperately need to feel like a real human, for without it, the void which has taken over, will devour me.
