George Conway thread: In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his.

In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters.

In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. ...

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) 2025-11-02T15:31:38.212Z



... And what is right or wrong turns on how, at any given instant of time, it makes him feel, and upon how he thinks it affects him.

This is textbook pathological narcissism. It is textbook sociopathy and psychopathy. These are textbook personality disorders. ...

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) 2025-11-02T15:31:38.213Z



... These are textbook psychiatric afflictions—indeed, an extreme illustration of them.

Textbook mental illness.

At this point, after all we have seen, there cannot be even the slightest doubt. And this leaves aside his seemingly apparent descent into the dementia that ended his father's life...

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) 2025-11-02T15:31:38.214Z



... Yet we, as a society and as a nation, largely refuse to discuss his mental condition—at least publicly. The accelerating destruction that he has wrought, and will continue to wreak, is on all of us—especially those who choose to look the other way.

... On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic".

Was this written by a Trump employee trying to sneak in an attack on Trump himself? If Trump himself really wrote it, then the projection is record-breaking.

The MAINSTREAM MEDIA refuses to discuss his mental condition.

The rest of us do what we can, but often simply look on in disbelief and horror.

It probably scared the military brass to hear their Commander-in-Chief speaking such gibberish.

Republicans own this shit.

With his re-election, King #rump has gone far beyond that with a mental illness called power psychosis: delusions of grandeur, delusions of infallibility, and delusions of unlimited power. All psychoses are characterized by loss of contact with reality, replacing it with delusions.

Guard rails? MSM not so much. Congress, useless as is. The courts are holding ground when listened to.

Not much to lean on. It is said that hope springs eternal. I am having trouble with this at the moment.

Look back over the long thread of written history. More often than not, whenever there is massive social upheaval, genocidal warfare, colonization, etc, what you will find at the center of it is a charismatic, narcissistic sociopath ... and a mob of authoritarians who adore him. The list is endless. Alexander. Augustus. Caligula. Genghis and Kublai Khan. Mussolini. Hitler. Pol Pot. Stalin. Putin. I would go so far as to say this is one of the major drivers of human history.

and if she's still listening to the same crooked preachers who tell her he was anointed by gawd to take believers safely through the end of the world and other heretical claptrap. That stuff is really hard to break through, even when your neglected kids are publickly shaming you and your husband is threatening a public divorce (which are what finally pried her loose from her job in his first term).

I haven't heard much from her in the last couple of years. I hope the fever finally broke.

The MORAL ILLNESS of oligarchs whose greed is as bottomless as The Felon's ego.

The MORAL ILLNESS of Republicans in Congress who are willing to burn our Constitution for policy agenda and political power -- or abhor what's happening but are too cowardly to stand against it.

The MORAL ILLNESS of religious leaders who convince their flocks the cruelty committed in their names is a righteous path to heaven.

The MORAL ILLNESS of voters too filled with hatred to realize they're feeding the leopards that will eat their faces.

I have said the same for years. It's the only way to view what he says and does that makes "sense." He is extremely mentally ill and fucking dangerous. His neice, Mary, has tried to warn us of this for years. Not enough of us paid attention. Obviously.
