that they think they have the window to everything... Bush: "I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue...I was able to get a sense of his soul..."

Trump's so-called doctor claiming that his colonoscopy patient would be "the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency." Can you imagine the spectacle of the tangerine freak in a bathing suit struggling to stay above the surface?

in harm's way, but it will not work if his own orange ass is on the line. That's not how malignant narcissists roll.

We might be able to bring him around.

The whole thing about him getting insanely pissed off when he feels he's rejected is a problem though.

It's almost like he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder.

People with BPD can be very sensitive to the way others treat them, by feeling intense joy and gratitude at perceived expressions of kindness, and intense sadness or anger at perceived criticism or hurtfulness.[25] Their feelings about others often shift from admiration or love to anger or dislike after a disappointment, a threat of losing someone, or a perceived loss of esteem in the eyes of someone they value. This phenomenon, sometimes called splitting, includes a shift from idealizing others to devaluing them.[26] Combined with mood disturbances, idealization and devaluation can undermine relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.[27] Self-image can also change rapidly from healthy to unhealthy.

While strongly desiring intimacy, people with BPD tend toward insecure, avoidant or ambivalent, or fearfully preoccupied attachment patterns in relationships,[28] and they often view the world as dangerous and malevolent.[25] BPD, like other personality disorders, is linked to increased levels of chronic stress and conflict in romantic relationships, decreased satisfaction on the part of romantic partners, abuse, and unwanted pregnancy.[29]
