Trump Chooses to Live in His Own World; a World Composed of Fantasy, Called “Denial”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Throughout his pitiful life, Trump suffers from a mental disease called Malignant Narcissism.

Malignant Narcissism: “a severe personality construct characterized by a combination of narcissistic traits, antisocial behavior, paranoid tendencies, and a tendency toward sadism. It's not a formally recognized diagnosis in the DSM-5 but is used to describe a particularly destructive form of narcissism. Individuals with malignant narcissism exhibit a deep-seated sense of superiority, entitlement, and a lack of empathy, often leading to manipulative and exploitative behavior towards others.”

To offer a simpler definition, Trump’s concerns are exclusively focused on himself and his need to satisfy an inflated ego.

Consider these comments obtained from Trump during his many, lengthy, and boring speeches at his hate rallies.

“I have never done anything wrong.”

“I love spending other people’s money.”

When asked about his relationship with Putin in 2016: “I never met the man.” They first met in Moscow in 1987.

During the 2024 campaign. “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”

 Again in 2024. “Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.” Here in Reno it remains over four dollars per gallon.

Once again, on inflation. “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again. We’ll do that. We’ve got to bring it down.”

More recently, complaining about the adjusted jobs report. "I think when somebody says the commissioner is not involved, I don't want to get into any arguments with anybody, why should I? She's a very nice woman, but when they say that nobody was involved, that it wasn't political, give me a break."

“Denial” is a condition possessed by mentally damaged individuals, not a country.

Trump constantly claims that he has “never done anything wrong.” This tells me one thing. The most intelligent people I know, or have ever read about, proudly admit that they learn from their mistakes. Trump made thousands of mistakes during his 79 years, but refuses to learn from his own errors in judgment.

As I studied the Trump/”Drumpf” family, focusing on Trump, I learned that Trump failed every business venture in which he was involved with one exception.

While working for Father Fred, Trump was given several properties not located in Manhattan. They had been and remained successful, but not at the level envied by the orange buffoon. He moved to Manhattan and proved that he failed to attend classes when he was at Wharton. He failed immediately and this became a pattern. He violated laws, paid officials bribes, and accepted assistance from foreign nations, including Russia and Saudi Arabia.

The “real Donald Trump” is a pitiful, old, obese man whose life is of no value. History will prove that his victories in 2016 and 2024 were not the result of his political expertise, they were rigged by Vladimir Putin and the best computer hackers in the world.
