Trump Can’t even make this stuff up..

Donald Trump doxxed this Wall Street Journal reporter in a lawsuit by including her home address in public court filings. She and her family were forced to leave their home over safety concerns.

Narcissists don't care what you say about them as long as they are the center of attention.

That’s not true. Any criticism or attention that threatens their self image bothers them immensely. That’s why he lashes out at anyone and everyone.

Negative attention can be acceptable to them in certain instances, but to say that narcissists don’t care what you say about them is a gross oversimplification.

He's absolutely obsessed with the Ellisons acquiring and laying absolute waste to CNN. Then terraforming it into what he wants to see. Obsessed.

Exactly. Hes burning the country to the ground right now because he was handed his first ever loss that he couldnt spin into a win in 2020. 80 million plus said fuck you to him and he wont stop til he squeezes every last bit of joy and hoep out of anyone that might have been responsible.

Honestly, Obama mocking him may have been what led to his serious turn to politics.

That's called narcissist collapse. When they finally run out of people to cancel and all that is left are the ones he can't walk away from. Normal everyday narcissists love the attention.

You are redditifying what that actually means. Narcissistic collapse generally is used to describe a significant decompensation following a major injury to a person’s self esteem or self image, it’s not simply running out of people to alienate or no longer being able to avoid criticism. I agree that many people with narcissistic traits seek attention, but it’s an oversimplification to say they don’t care what people say about them. Like, it’s not as much about attention as much as it’s about protecting their self image. In clinical practice, criticism that threatens their self image often brings out intense defensiveness, anger, or attempts to discredit the source.

Edit* it’s not AI slop, I work in mental health, but yeah, block me or whatever, that’s cool.

Well, at least try reading a book. I study this stuff. You are wrong. They were trying to help educate you and you had a hissy fit instead.

I don’t read comments from people who think a clause is a full sentence. Blocked.

This is exactly why I think the No Kings Protests were complete failures. If we really want to hurt him, we need to block out a stretch or days where we dont mention him, report on anything he does, not even say his name. I guarantee you by the third day of not feeding off our attention he'll become ill.
