I wonder what it's like to be the most hated man in the world.

[Philosoraptor]

He probably doesn't even appreciate or realize he's the most despised single human on the planet, quite a dubious distinction.

If he were some sinister 'Dr. Evil' character in a bad movie, he'd probably giggle with delight at being the most hated person, but more likely he sits around fuming and fretting and wondering why nobody loves him.


What a wonderful place in history he has secured for himself, and aren't we oh so lucky to have him as our leader?

1. A sociopath doesn't have to worry about that stuff

5. You left out the "narcissistic" part of Narcissstic/Sociopath.

Just as long as they get attention of any kind they consider it wonderful. How they get it, who it hurts, what kind it is, is a matter of indifference to them as long as they get it.

6. Too many (even DUers) equate 'narcissism' with 'ego' or 'pride'

... when it's actually the almost total absence of some internal sense of self. This is not a man that's capable of self-esteem, self-reflection, or conscience. His very sense of existence feeds upon the reactions of others, negative or positve. He's one sick puppy - the most extreme example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder I've ever seen (I'm NOT a professional.) It's quite possibly the absolute WORST mental illness/disorder that one could imagine in the office of the Presidency. Coupled with an obvious sociopath as Vice President and we have a nightmare of government.

It's pitiful (and laughable) that anyone would speculate on what he "feels" or what he "thinks" when it's clear that he's emotionally and mentally incapable of framing any 'thought' or 'feeling' in other than whether it feeds his pathology. This is much of why NPD is effectively untreatable - because the mere attention of treatment is itself a 'narcissistic supply.' He has absolutely no capacity for compassion or empathy - one might as well talk about flying like a bird or breathing water like a fish since it's no longer part of his make-up. In a just world, future editions of the DSM-IV (-V?, -VI?) would have his photo in the description of NPD.

8. I was a (semi) professional in the field and you give a perfect analysis.

The ones I ran across were effectively untreatable. If for no other reason than that they saw absolutely nothing wrong with themselves or their behavior even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

2. He doesn't care, he has to make those tough decisions because he's

(drumroll please) THE DECIDER

[MADem]

3. I think he is the boy in the bubble

And he believes that:

The troops adore him.

The "silent majority" (a la Nixon) think he is wonderful.

Everyone who goes to church worships him.

The pollsters are all 'librul liars'--even the GOP ones.

The media is out to get him, except Faux, which, being fair and balanced, is only out to get him ten percent of the time.

And the odds are good that he is fed a steady diet of positive stories, though the poor bastards doing that research are probably working a helluva lotta overtime to even dig them out...

4. Kings don't care. His life is very comfortable...nt

[tridim]

7. That's what the drugs are for

Speaking of which. Why doesn't he have the hula jaw any more? Did they nail down that side effect and change his meds?

9. He's not just the most hated man in the world.

He is the most hated human in the history of the species! I truly believe there has never been a human being as disliked by his fellow humans throughout the globe as our worthless "president".

There are plenty of worse people, but not in such a prominent position.

Hitler? Maybe. But there were a lot fewer people in the world then, and I just don't see his actions as doing the world-wide damage that the chimp has managed (maybe because we stopped him?). Or is he the winner?

Are there any other contenders or is it basically just the two of them?
