  • Putin appears unfazed by ‘emotional’ Trump’s threats over Ukraine

  • What break with Moskow? Arms deal means metal can be purchased by European countries for the war in Ukraine. The sanctions are threatened - not implemented. I cannot see how Putin could have it better without sitting in the white house himself.

  • Specific yes, but not oddly: this is paraphrasing from an actual testimony of victims.

  • Trump has a ‘maximum’ meltdown on social media after hate-watching ‘60 Minutes’

  • Narcissists don't seek treatment as this would imply they're imperfect, however destructive their lives are. On the other hand we don't force treatment on people unless they are an immediate physical threat to someone or themselves. Another aspect, you alluded to, is culture. In the west, especially the US there is a reverence toward these types of behaviour that are in line of the traits seen with overt narcissists. Kind of a positive feedback loop wherein these types filter towards the top of whatever organisation. I believe Musk is narcissistic aswell, and I doubt he is truly autistic. (I think he is self diagnosed, and normally I refrain from gatekeeping, however, I believe he is self aware enough to figure something is different about him and he mistakenly attributed these aberrations in his personality for autism instead of narcissism - I might be wrong though.) Having these two characters in power does not bode well for our civilisation. It makes me nauseous to think that they themselves are unable to recognise the destruction they are bringing onto the world.

  • It gets even weirder: a narcissists sense of reality checking is impaired such that they are unable to accept facts that contradict their viewpoint. If their statements/opinions collide with reality, they dismiss it as they hold themselves above reality. They don't / can't learn as this would imply there are gaps in their knowledge and whoever is the messenger of such contradicting facts will incur wrath to allow them to heal, no matter how tactful this is brought to them. Narcissists don't lie (in their mind) and this is akin to something like psychosis or delusion. This is different from psychopaths who are aware of their lies but the motivation differs in that a psychopath does it for external gain (to obtain a goal) whereas narcissists do this for internal gains (so called narcissists supply - feeding the ego). One could speculate that a narcissistic autocrat and his followers (Trump and MAGAs) suffer from shared psychosis.
