SUMMARY: We’ll take a deeper dive into the narcissistic wounds that Trump has received because of the shake up in the Democratic presidential campaign and the erratic behavior that coping with them has caused. Trump’s narcissism explains and predicts his behavior. His racism explains the deep and abiding narcissistic injury Harris’ entry to the race has caused him. Trump’s smug assumption that he would beat Joe Biden explains the narcissistic wound that Trump received when he left the race — Trump was robbed of his chance to beat Biden. It explains his naked racism at the NABJ and his flailing pitiful attacks on Harris character. If Harris can keep in this injured space, she can keep him off balance. Unfortunately, he’s likely to return to equilibrium soon.

That Trump is an unproductive malignant narcissistic personality disorder is not in question. He is. He dots all the t’s and crosses all of the i’s. If you want to find out more check out these posts:
- THE NARCISSISM OF DONALD J. TRUMP. This is an early 2016 post that details the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and matches them back to Trump. It ends with a prediction of what a Trump administration might be like, It will have the paranoia of Nixon, the ineffectiveness of Harding, sheer callous cruelty of Jackson, and the racism of Wilson. But, no where in that mix will there be any clear policies or agendas to pursue because Mr. Trump is completely empty and devoid of anything other than a slavish devotion to his own ego and utter fear of the narcissistic wound.
- MALIGNANT. In this instant malignant is used to indicate sadistic cruelty and the lack of feelings of shame, guilt, and humiliation often associated with psychopathy that doesn’t rise to a diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder. While we all love to talk about Trump being a psychopath or a sociopath, neither are clearly defined in any diagnostic manual; however, it is evident that Trump revels in cruelty by humiliating individuals and causing indirect harm. As much as he would’ve loved for Madog Greene to shoot Nancy Pelosi on the floor of the House or see Mother Pence swinging from the gallows, he was too much of a coward to actually get himself to the Capitol on 6 January to ensure that it all happened.
- UNPRODUCTIVE. Trump has zero executive functioning. He cannot plan, follow a plan, manage his impulses, think rationally. In short, he is all Id, to use a term from Freudian Psychoanalysis. It’s why he doesn’t read; although, I suspect he maybe dyslexic. He is all reaction and intuition and no planning or discipline. Remember, this is the fellow who lost a carrier group and couldn’t get himself to the Capitol on 6 January Insurrection.
Narcissistic Wounds are the Result of biting into Big Fig Newton of Self-Worth
Narcissists believe that they are perfect. They can make no mistakes. They know they are the smartest and most capable person not only in the room, but whoever existed. Ironically, they also doubt whether it is all true. They are like a Big Fig Newton: Golden flaky tender cakey on the outside and ooey-gooey rich and chewy on the inside.
Lugging the clownishly oversized ego around is exhausting because the narcissist must maintain two contradictory beliefs: (1) He is perfect, and he must present this fragile front of faultlessness to the world. And (2) he harbors deep-seated doubts, insecurities, and self-loathing about his true abilities and self worth. Inside the orange crusty surface is a black hole of self-enmity with a core of shame pulling any self-esteem into it. The narcissist lives in a world of emotional pain and suffering that is covered over by his blatant aspirations to perfection.
Narcissistic Wounds: Their Origins And The Reason Trump Assaulted US During the NBC Town Hall, Part 1 on 18 October 2020
Narcissistic wounds are the result of biting into that Big Fig Newton and finding the ooey-gooey rich and chewy blackhole of their self-worth inside. The narcissist cannot tolerate their imperfection being put on display, so they react like this when their thin veneer of bullshit that they wrap their black shriveled hearts in is pierced.

Has the Felonious Rapist Traitor done any of them in the last couple of weeks?
Narcissistic Wound #1: Kamala Harris & Joe Biden
Because of Trump’s narcissism and executive dysfunction, he isn’t very flexible in his thinking or nimble in his reactions. It is hard for him to adapt to a changing environment, and since 21 July when Biden withdrew from the nomination, the world has been turned on its head.
Trump actually thought he was going to win Election 2024 in a landslide against Joe Biden. After the debate, he had Biden, the press, and the country right where he wanted them. Biden was helpless against his brilliant withering attacks on his record and his inferior cognitive performance. The press was singing the praises of his brilliant economic, domestic, and foreign policies. And, everyone in the country LOVED him. He was in the glide path of winning! All of the very big men were running up to him crying, “Sir! Sir” with tears in their eyes wondering how he could be so brilliant, telling him that they’d never seen anything like it, wanting to know how he did it.
But, then a new reality crashed the party:
- Biden is a selfless political genius because he not only withdrew from the race and threw it to Harris, but he also did it while finalizing the deal to get the Russian hostages returned. No one is describing Biden as weak, confused, and doddering at all! And, they’re calling it the biggest bestest prisoner swap ever! No one is even mentioning Trump. How is that even fair!?!
- The Democrats coalesce around Harris’ nomination. They weren’t even thrown into confusion and endless bickering and backstabbing! Nothing. They just all celebrated Harris! What? The world has gone mad!
- The press completely ignored him. No one was interested in the huge life-threatening hole that was blown through his ear. No one seemed to care that he had to fight for his very life after a cruel attempted assassination. Everyone stopped talking about his big beautiful perfect convention and acceptance speech. What does a fella have to do to get some press attention attack single cat ladies?
- The press and social media are abuzz with JD Vance’s cat lady stuff. When the press does pay attention to the ticket, they are covering Vance’s cat lady debacle!
It HURTS to go from front runner to also ran! It hurts to go from the young svelte smooth talking candidate to stammering like he is some kind of common Jeff I’m not able to be rushed this fast… It makes me nervous Sessions, from the youngest to the oldest candidate, from the most cognitive “sharp” to the most obvious in cognitive decline.
Because he can’t adjust quickly, he’s stuck rerunning the same old song and dance, calling her “low IQ” and stupid, and she’s brushing him off like an annoying sex pest at a bar. No one’s paying attention to his name calling, but they are paying attention to her sass.
Now, here’s the thing, when you’re a racist, if you destroy one Black person, you destroy them all, and if you destroy all Black people, you’ve destroyed the one that is really bugging you. So, when a Black woman has delivered a narcissistic wound, what are you gonna do?
Narcissistic Wound #: Black People, Black Women, Black Journalists, & the News Cycle

Pity the poor racist because their self-worth is completely dependent on believing that you’re better than the best Black person. It is a completely bankrupt policy in a country in which we believe ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUALLY and we are striving TO CREATE A MORE PERFECT UNION because that world is constantly changing. Racists are swimming against the current. The whole thing is a recipe for disaster and madness.
The Felonious Rapist Traitor is a dyed in the wool racist. He is through and through a white supremacist racist. It’s probably why he didn’t chose Tim Scott as his VP — no I’m not bitter that my VP prediction didn’t bear out.
He’s offended that they exist. He’s deeply offended that he has to deal with them in any capacity, amirite Omarosa? And, he is especially injured if they get uppity with him, which is to say being anything other than Tim Scott.
Black journalists are especially troublesome because they make false news about him by reporting exactly what he said and did. It is an insidious evil what has been done to him by Black journalists, except for the “good” one, Harris Faulkner.
When he appeared at the NABJ Convention it was his intention to “destroy” Kamala Harris as a Black American. Seriously, because he’s a narcissist, he believes everyone will take his word for it. If he says she has always identified as an Indian-America and only “turned” Black recently, everyone will believe it as if that is what happened… in his mind, anyway. He thinks he’s driving a wedge between Harris and the Black community and probably the AAPI community, too.
All of the outrageous things Trump has been saying over the past few weeks are because the changes to the race are experienced as narcissistic wounds. They’ve challenged his delusion of perfection. Unfortunately, he will soon return to equilibrium. He will get back on track and stop making these wild slanderous attacks that only alienate voters.
We will also get back to equilibrium by accepting it all as Trump being Trump, whatrugonnado, amiright, and considering him as a serious acceptable candidate.
The longer Harris can keep the media spotlight off of him, the more he’s going to twist in the narcissistic wind flailing at his injurious windmills. The more Harris uses Trump’s narcissism against him, like Putin does, the more likely she will win the race.

Betrayed by the stock market again…what else can the Cheeto do but rail at Kamala about her background. It is a “good” backup plan…the “best” backup plan because HE thought of it. I am almost ashamed of myself for how good I feel about his failure to get more validation from the world. And I am beyond thrilled that Kamala picked Walz for her running mate. People will LIKE him and that is a very good thing when it comes to elections.

I LOVE the pick. Who knew an HS teacher and football coach who had been voted as the most inspiring teacher would so popular with the youth of today?
If Harris is the polar opposite of Trump, then Walz is the anti-Vance. Time to savor and steep in the moment.
Huzzah!

Trump, and a lot of others probably were thinking over the weekend that the election was once again in the bag because all the predictions of a severe recession being the only cure for the horrible inflation were finally coming true and they could blame the Democrats. As of this morning (it’s 7:20am), the report is that the futures markets are stable or trending back up. Well, there’s another narcissistic wound, betrayed by the stock market, not only by not delivering a great crash, but also taking up so much news space.
Today, the political news will be all about Harris and her VP pick. Ouch!
If Biden can get credit for somehow keeping the Middle East from totally exploding; Another bite.
Harris can, with the VP pick out of the way, begin to talk and be talked about regarding cabinet picks and judicial nominations. — more shade on T
And every poll that shows Harris gaining will hurt him where it hurts too.

The one thing that Trump’s narcissism gives him is a kind of eternal optimism. When he returns to equilibrium, he is sure that victory and success are just around the corner. As soon as the stock market dropped, it triggered the “here’s my ticket to success” reaction. When it rose immediately, a narcissistic wound.
The non-stop praise of Walz, the brilliance of Harris pick, the derision that both are heaping upon him and Vance, and her undeniable rise in the polls must be continuing his narcissistic injuries. It is no wonder he is absent form the campaign and leaving JD to wander the country to “organize” rallies where Harris and Walz are.
Maybe their plan to have county and state level vote certifiers refuse to certify the votes and kick the whole thing to the courts and Congress is what he’s relying on. Maybe he really does believe that no one has to vote because of this plan.
Fortunately for us, it is not likely to work. The courts have intervened in the past to order certifications and where state laws have passed and challenged, the courts have struck them down. Hopefully, the scheme amounts to just another pipe dream to keep Trump’s ego inflated to the degree he finds comfortable.
Huzzah!

And, besides his, NARCISSISTIC, tendencies, he also has a, severe case of, inferiority conplex, which us, expressed in the form of his, talking TRASH, about his, opponent, and on top of that, he’s a, RACIST, but also, a, DESCENDENT of an, immigration, family, so, all that adds up to a, huge, MESS, and didn’t he, FIRE, all of his, cabinet members, like he OWNS the, U.S., government? And, if the, voting citizens, elect him again for another four years then, U S. would have, STOOPED to, the, LOWEST of LOW, since the, start of the, the U.S. as a country, after George Washington led the revolution, against British, colonial times.

It is looking less and less likely that he will win the election. We’ll see how it plays out. Democracy is a lot like a sports game. No matter how the two sides stack up and who should win, you don’t know until you actually play the game. We’ve faced down dire threats to our democracy before. We’ll face this one down, too.
Huzzah!
