Stand up
Look her in the eye
Hold her hand
Tell her you are sorry for her loss
Apologize for not fully understanding the conflict
Assure her you are listening and will do what you can
Concepts and behaviors completely absent in the malignant narcissist
Psychopathic moment you might have missed:
Trump’s response to Biden’s bleach line?
“I was being sarcastic” - as if making jokes as thousands were dying, crying out for treatment was defensible
"I like the numbers being where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship" -- Trump explains that he doesn't want to let people off the Grand Princess cruise ship because he doesn't want the number of coronavirus cases in the country to go up
There is no “healing” or “coming together” with at least 6 Senators,
120 Representatives, and 1 soon to be ex-President who crossed the red line into treason/sedition/insurrection.
We *want them divided* from the rest of us...
While Joe Biden was VP, Hunter Biden got a lucrative board membership & salary at Burisma despite his lack of experience.
"Hunter Biden had no experience in natural gas, no experience in the energy sector, no experience with Ukrainian regulatory affairs." -

TRUMP: "I just got back from Texas & some of the ranchers told me - you look at Brooks County, you look at other places - some of the ranchers told me you have bodies lying all over the land... and they die. It's something I've never heard... many people die."

On May 1, 2011, John Brennan and Adm McRaven were directing the assault on bin Laden and
Donald Trump was hosting an episode of Celebrity Apprentice...

President Trump to 9/11 first responders: "I was down there also, but I'm not considering myself a first responder. But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you."
WATCH:
@Yamiche
asks President Trump about his calls for Russia to rejoin the G-7, what the political impact might be and why he repeats a misleading statement that "Putin outsmarted" former President Obama.
Although routinely referred to as “crazy,” “nuts,” or “out of his mind” by the media, we can be clear, the sitting President likely meets the criteria for multiple psychopathologies and disordered personality types.
President Trump: "The light bulb. People said what's with the light bulb. I said here's the story, and I looked at it. The bulb that we're being forced to use. Number one, to me, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst."
A malignant narcissist alters a map with a Sharpie rather than admit a mistake...
A sycophant draws the line and holds the map...
A cult is complicit and obedient...
At a county GOP event, Rep. Madison Cawthorn lied that it's a lie Biden was "dutifully elected," said we know the election was "stolen"…then warned of "bloodshed," and suggested he might regretfully have to take up arms, if election systems "continue to be rigged" (they aren't):
I'm going to wait until after Inauguration Day, of course, but this Georgia rally can be used for generations to show deep-seated psychopathology and disordered personality.
POTUS says the prompter went out at his July 4 event: "I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter, but I knew the speech very well. So I was able to do it without a teleprompter. But the teleprompter went out."
If you’re keeping score, the Department of Justice and a major agency within the Department of Commerce (NOAA) are now ENABLING Trump’s pathology...
We have no Congress...
The thing about malignant narcissists/psychopaths, if there are no legal, societal, or occupational consequences, their feeling of impunity is validated as correct all along.
“We were one Molotov cocktail or automatic weapon away from losing our government — a true coup”

CULTISM at work in real time:
Watch woman behind Trump after he says he will end AIDS & cure cancer.
Her response is “Ohhhh” w nod & clap.
He has no plan, no scientific background, no understanding of the disease, & has CUT research funding.
But Dear Leader said it = TRUE
UNFIT FOR OFFICE
Murad: They killed my mum, my six brothers.
Trump: Where are they now?
- organic cognitive decline
- sociopathy/lack of empathy
- malignant narcissism
- misogyny
- intellectual ignorance
- inattention

This is what we call inappropriate affect (emotional expression); often seen in many psychiatric clinical presentations and disordered personalities like sociopathy and narcissism...
Trump said, “I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators”
Ignorant.
Unprepared.
Sociopathic.
Psychopathic.
It’s appropriate and completely normal to viscerally despise this man
President Trump: "There were numerous cases where women were paid money to say bad things about me. You can't do that. You can't do that. And those women did wrong things."
I’ve watched this several times
The “airports” segment is disturbing not simply for its factual inaccuracy but within the context of
- slurred speech
- semantic (inserting wrong word) and phonemic paraphasia (combining words to form a likely nonsense word)
1/3
President Trump: "The Continental Army suffered a bitter winner at Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it ran the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do."
