YOU DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!
Yes, rabid out-of-control capitalism consuming everything in its path is doing well under Trump. What about the vast majority that is everybody else? I didn't know that you were a billionairesse. So why didn't you reveal that to us? Or are you so abysmally ignorant about capitalism?

Ah, so Faith is a billionare. That would explain the contempt for science.

Thank you very much for admitting the plan to overturn a legitimate election, disqualify all who voted for him, essentially relegating us to the Gulag of PC opprobrium or the social death penalty, destroy America's freedoms and Constitution and make us a Leftist dictatorship of Third World stature.
Wow, paranoia much? The hope is to discover something about Trump that might allow impeachment or indictment. End of story.

What makes you think you can get rid of an elected President without either turning all his supporters into a hated underclass or provoking an uprising or a civil war?
The Constitution.

Capitalists are doing super under Trump. The rest of us, not so much.

or provoking an uprising or a civil war? Yeah. The inevitable re-arising of the fascist right.
we lived through Obama Y'all are really stuck on Obama, The Evil OneTM. Maybe you haven't understood what's happened. Obama has retired and no longer affects world or national events. He can't hurt you anymore. The Muslim armies have left the national parks.
He's done more than most Presidents ... Understatement for sure. None of it good for the country or for the world. Except, I suppose his bank account is good with all the "events" the government is paying enormously inflated prices to stage at his own resorts. Too bad those four casinos he bankrupted weren't still in business. They'd (He'd) be raking in even more of our public money. And I suppose the 1% got it good since he presented them with the largest fat cat billionaire tax cut in all of our national history. The rest of us got nothing except higher costs, lower wages, national-, international- and intergalactic-shame and the spectacle of watching our government kill little brown children who slipped across the boarder illegally with their parents. Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

Hey dwise, let me say I'm sorry for whatever I did to tick you off so mightily. I skimmed your post and couldn't figure out what you were trying to say, didn't grasp that you thought you were answering my question, and it went on too long for my patience when there were other things going on I wanted to get to and the usual crowd of opponents to whatever else I said that ticked someone off. So I'm sorry, I still don't know what you are carrying on about and I don't know if I can ever figure it out. You do have a hairtrigger rage button though. You might want to learn to cool down for your own health.

Wow!
Self awareness is not one of your strong suits I see. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

This way you go from buttering me up to lambasting me in the most excoriating Leftist terms is a bit disconcerting. Or something. It's been a long time since I read much psychology but I do recall that contrary to your idea that Trump is a narcissist, a main characteristic of narcissistic personality is charm. Trump really isn't a charmer, he's flatfooted and incautious about the effect he is having on others. But charmers are very aware of their effect and charm is YOUR thing. Charm you've got, and it's meant to build up other people's ego. Yes I'm a sucker for anyone who recognizes that I'm a good writer among other things. You're good at that sort of ego buildling. But such charm always gives way easily to hatred of those you are buttering up when they fail to appreciate it as you would like them to, but when they do appreciate it and think you really like them then they are treated to a lot of faultfinding. Or in this case sheer hatred for my political opinions. Everybody likes being buttered up, complimented, spoken to in a kindly supportive way, but it conceals a thicket of barbed wire in the narcissistic personality. Anyway all that fits you way better than it fits Trump.
I suppose I'm saying this mostly in self defense, to get you to stop the flirty talk. You ARE charming and coupled with the political hatred it's hard to take. And I suppose I'm saying THIS now because I don't want to sound like I hate YOU, I just want you to stop. . Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

quote: The Wikipedia article on narcissm doesn’t mention charm, but it sure sounds like Trump. The “seven deadly sins” of narcissism are him, to a T. Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

That really doesn’t change the fact that Trump shows a lot of the signs.
But your search helped me find this
THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY: These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable. To recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind: (1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything. (2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace. (3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else’s fault. (4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed. (5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.
Sounds like Trump to me. (And apart from the lack of charm the following “Profile of the Sociopath” sounds a lot like him, too.) Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

I don't see it. And the "lying" you all impute to him is just not being careful about what he says. That's bad enough, I would agree, but it's not lying, he's getting the information from somewhere and just doesn't check it out. OR, he is often right but doesn't explain his context so leaves himself open for misunderstanding, which of course his opponents jump on.
I found lots on the charm of the narcissistic personalty, don't know why you missed it. As for the criteria listed in the Narcissism Wikipedia article:
The US psychiatrists Hotchkiss and James F. Masterson identified what they called the seven deadly sins of narcissism:[7]
I don't see it. The hatred of Trump that I see everywhere is hatred of his political views that won him this election, and trying to make him out to be some kind of pathological personality is just a way of serving that hatred. Even if one or two of the descriptions on the list could be made to fit, that many would probably fit everybody. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
