    Nice try. I would be willing to bet many politicians and most presidents are narcissistic.

    Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?

    Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist. Scroll down for a detailed treatment.

    Granted, only a qualified mental health diagnostician can determine whether someone suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and this, following lengthy tests and personal interviews. But, in the absence of access to Barack Obama, one has to rely on his overt performance and on testimonies by his closest, nearest and dearest.
    Narcissistic leaders are nefarious and their effects pernicious. They are subtle, refined, socially-adept, manipulative, possessed of thespian skills, and convincing. Both types equally lack empathy and are ruthless and relentless or driven.

    Perhaps it is time to require each candidate to high office in the USA to submit to a rigorous physical and mental checkup with the results made public.
    I. Upbringing and Childhood
    Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations. Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then, his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia: a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995.

    Pathological narcissism is a reaction to prolonged abuse and trauma in early childhood or early adolescence. The source of the abuse or trauma is immaterial: the perpetrators could be dysfunctional or absent parents, teachers, other adults, or peers.

    II. Behavior Patterns
    The narcissist:

    • Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
    • Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;
    • Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);
    • Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation – or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);
    • Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment;
    • Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;
    • Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or acceptthefeelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;
    • Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;
    • Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.
    Narcissism is a defense mechanism whose role is to deflect hurt and trauma from the victim's "True Self" into a "False Self" which is omnipotent, invulnerable, and omniscient. This False Self is then used by the narcissist to garner narcissistic supply from his human environment. Narcissistic supply is any form of attention, both positive and negative and it is instrumental in the regulation of the narcissist's labile sense of self-worth.

    Perhaps the most immediately evident trait of patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is their vulnerability to criticism and disagreement. Subject to negative input, real or imagined, even to a mild rebuke, a constructive suggestion, or an offer to help, they feel injured, humiliated and empty and they react with disdain (devaluation), rage, and defiance.

    From my book "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited":
    "To avoid such intolerable pain, some patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) socially withdraw and feign false modesty and humility to mask their underlying grandiosity. Dysthymic and depressive disorders are common reactions to isolation and feelings of shame and inadequacy."

    Due to their lack of empathy, disregard for others, exploitativeness, sense of entitlement, and constant need for attention (narcissistic supply), narcissists are rarely able to maintain functional and healthy interpersonal relationships.

  2. Lazy butwhataboutism by the igit as he can't think of any other response.

    Again, you are just a moron, that is why people insult you. This is why you wander the internet and are inevitably rejected as not good enough.

    Nothing complicated about it.

    I will explain this in simple terms so it can get through your filters.

    I was attacking your syllogism as specious.
    It was not a "what about Obama" post.


    I was illustrating flaws with your implicit argument that Trump supporters must be narcissists.
    Here was the point I was making in a circumspect manner which apparently you did not pick up.

    Unless you believe all Obama and Bill Clinton supporters are narcissists your argument was specious.


    P.S.
    There are relatively few real Trump supporters. There are Trump voters but probably only about 20 percent of the electorate are Trump supporters. Although, if the economy continues to improve that will change. Winning creates a larger fan base.

  8. A vaguely interesting experiment keeping him attentive. As soon as there is a gap, a new one steps in immediately from the ether. There is such a formula/uniformity to the arguments and responses they present it often seems the replacement must be a re-spawning under a new profile.

    LacesOut

    Pretty simple.
    Who ever was pathetic enough to pretend to fuck him came back to the rental late last night after taking some serious dick at the club.
    She didn’t have any leftovers to microwave her big fairto ‘Splenda Daddy’ this morning so she left out some cereal and a bowl. But there was no milk in the fridge.
    And thus....

    It's even worse than that :(

    Poor Slartocchio exhibits a classic mixed bag of deviant behaviors listed in the DSM-V under Cluster B Personality Disorders.

    For example: deceitfulness indicated by repeated lying, lack of remorse for lying about others, exaggerating achievements and talents for recognition not commensurate with actual accomplishments, preoccupation with fantasies of success, a grandiose sense of self-importance, requires excessive admiration and attention, unreasonable sense of entitlement, irritability and aggressiveness, arrogance and haughtiness, affective instability, etc.
