She said that on a taped conversation in private. The article said that she was a critic of his, but I'm not sure that she was a public critic of his.
The point being, it's not like Donald Trump doesn't know that he's done things that were wrong. For example, he knows it's wrong to try to steal an election, because he's constantly accusing other people of doing it. But he does know the truth, that it was he who was doing those things.
A person shouldn't be lauded for privately knowing there is a problem, but never doing anything about it.
Here's the thing I keep hammering about Trump; He's eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. That doesn't mean "narcissist" in the way people have been slinging the word around for a decade+. It's a real diagnosis with a real meaning.
If you've ever been close to someone with NPD, you realize that they literally have no sense of personal culpability. They are literally unable to process an idea that says "you are wrong".
Trump isn't purposefully hiding his "wrongness" from us, he can't know he's wrong. His brain can't imagine such a thing.
The "stolen" election for example; He did realize for a minute that he was beaten, plenty of evidence of what was said in that brief timespan. So we normal folks say, "Ah ha! Told you he was a liar!"
But his brain reworked the thing, because being beaten, "wrong" to his mind, is not possible.
You could hardly torture a confession out of the man, because to his mind, he has nothing to confess. His behavior is far more terrifying once you truly internalize that.
Now add the beginnings of dementia to his extreme case of NPD. He's basically a religious fanatic, and he's his own god.
The point isn't that he thinks he's wrong, but that the things he's done are things that he knows are wrong. He just believes he has some special right to do these things anyways.
Nah, you walked past my point. Trump's brain literally can't conceive that he's wrong, can't know he's wrong.
It's all so much more horrifying than people are making it out. People like you are putting themselves in his shoes and trying to think it out. His brain doesn't work that way.
he has some special right to do these things
That's his brain's way of telling him he was never wrong to begin with.
Let me rephrase it, because despite my explaining it, you still haven't understood.
Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of his wallet without his permission? Obviously yes. Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of another person's wallet without their permission? Probably yes. He understands the concept that stealing money is wrong. He just wouldn't think it's wrong if he took all of the money out of your wallet.
I've been incredibly consistent in the way I've described this. Trump knows that the type of actions he's performing are wrong. He just doesn't believe they're wrong when he's performing them.
It’s early hard to explain your point to someone that hasn’t recovered from narcissistic abuse. Even those in the thick of it, you can tell them what’s happening, they can intellectually understand, but they inevitably try to relate and discover excuses or reasons which completely misses the point of how someone that truly has NPD is wired. It’s really a shame and I wish I had a good answer. Their are tons of articles and videos from experts that accurately and intellectually describe what you are attempting to explain but the point you are trying to drive home, which you are accurately and concisely stating, never seems to really sink in for folks in my experience.
... And who doesn't want a god-emperor? LOL
The God emperor of mankind is supposed to be hyper intelligent, not a sick old seditionist with NPD - who frankly is somewhat mentally challenged
Potato tomato.
I don't know anything about her other than what this article says. Lauded is a huge stretch.
I'm not gonna lose too much sleep over an elderly woman not publicly criticizing her baby brother.
Half-human, at best. She resigned her position as a federal judge after it was revealed she also committed tax fraud after their father passed.
Having the shame to resign puts her ahead of 99.99% of a certain group of people.
Was it shame, or were there worse things waiting for her if sure didn't resign?
Worse like what, trying to overthrow the government?
Or accepting lavish vacation packages from billionaires?
They meant "worse things" as in consequences for her if she didn't resign.
didn't she resign cause she got caught, and likely was given no actual choice? Like "resign or be disbarred" or whatever the equivalent would be?
Taking advantage of other people is pretty typically human.
More than we can say for even a single person in this entire comment thread, apparently.
A man’s sister dies. What do you do?
“Uh it depends is he my political enemy?”
None of the Trump family are going to see this, and they're a bunch of rich fucks who have exploited people all their lives. They don't get pity. I wouldn't shove it in their face, but they won't see this so it doesn't matter.
Another one for the golf course.
Glad she at least was human.
So sister and niece both know he's a terrible person. If only his gullible followers could see...
His followers like him because hes a terrible person not in spite of it.
Yep, he's willing to say the racist/sexist/anti glbt things the other Republicans are only willing to imply.
They’re both women, therefore his followers don’t give a shit what they say. They’d rather the women not speak
