I'm not a psychologist but I play one on Bluesky. Among other character faults, the president fits the following to a T.

Narcissist Personality Disorder - NPD

Common signs of NPD are often called by the acronym SPECIAL ME:
My mom lives in a working class area of town and yes, the flags did come down there as well. I was so happy to see it. I really feel it's a socio-economic thing. People who have less feel the pain of his destructive policies more, people who have more just sit back and enjoy their lives.

If any one person saved our republic during the 21st century it was Eugene Goodman and I am sure that he hasn’t been thanked enough.

I work in the rice industry and he was a farmer - the industry just sent out a daily news briefing saying he died of an aneurysm and heart attack.

I write to my Senators (D) and my Congressman (R) weekly.

I ALWAYS get responses from the Senators and have NEVER gotten a single response from my Congressman Kevin Kiley.

I won't stop. They work for us not the party. I encourage everyone to call or write your elected officials regularly.

I do hope so! I'm surrounded by a lot of MAGA - between work and family - and they just see things differently. I do engage with them and never talk down to them, just explain my perspective but it does not get through. Especially with men. The ones I know are very much brainwashed by Fox.

New campaign ad for the Democrats 👇

@democrats.org
Trump: "You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached."

I get all your points and it probably comes down to people's socio-economic status. I work in an industry which is probably 98% or more Republican and they will pretty much will vote R all the time regardless.

Yeah, I actually met him several times for Hill visits. He had a beer gut. He was super tall.

I knew Doug. He was extremely MAGA. He LOVED trump. I was born in Roseville - it's very bougie - but a different district. His district is more rural.

Are you being sarcastic? He was overweight. I read he had an aneurism.

Timeline Cleanse 🎌

Going thru my camera roll - came across this poem written by the Emperor Meiji and posted at the Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo:

"By gaining the good and rejecting what is wrong, it is our desire that we’ll compare favorably with other lands abroad"

@atrupar.com Seriously, how do you listen to these people all day without losing your mind? 20 seconds in and I'm having a breakdown.

He's trump's Roy Cohn replacement. He looks and acts like him - read Cohn's 6 rules. Roy Cohn basically formed trump with these rules. I thought maybe he was his reincarnation, but he died in 1986 and Miller was born in 1985. #2 Always counter-attack, and always with greater force than you received.

Isn't interesting how their constituents are OK with them knowing and doing nothing. What exactly is the role of Congress at this point?
January 5, 2026 at 10:59 PM
He surely would not feel the same if the President had been a Democrat.

It's quite impressive how far the Republicans in Congress have fallen.

Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a third term is the direct result of Republican threats to kill his entire family after they had already murdered one of his state’s representative and her husband. — Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

I was thinking about this the other day - so many Americans seem to be comfortably numb.

I've got mixed feelings on Vance taking things over. I feel like no one likes him. He's like Ted Cruz.

There's definitely a Varsity team and a JV team in the administration - with Patel, Noem, Hegseth, McMahon part of the JV squad.
