"Given that collective narcissism shapes current political landscapes, it is important to understand its mechanisms and consequences" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Narcissist Trump wants to be seen as a hero... there are any number of reasons why MSM goes along with his fictions and fantasies.... 👇
This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

What narcissist Trump is doing in appealing the E.Jean Carroll conviction is to sanitize his image. Narcissists work hard at keeping their image - an idealized construct - a certain way to meet their self-concept: perfect, superior, and untouched by scandal. Also, they will not admit to any faults.

Not only unheard of.... but blatantly out there in any universe.
Trump: "By the time my first year ends, we're gonna have over $20 trillion of investment coming into the US. It's unheard of." (The entire US GDP is about $30 trillion, so yes, it's unheard of)

The math behind Trump’s 50-year mortgage gambit: Lower payments now, but almost double the long-term costs
President Trump recently floated the idea of 50-year mortgages. Longer home loans would lower monthly payments, but come with higher rates and added interest expenses.

Not feeding 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP, many of whom work.... THAT puts the country in jeopardy. Score this: Out of touch with how SNAP works.
Trump on SNAP: It really puts the country in jeopardy. People who are able bodied who can do their job—they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up because it’s easier—that’s not the purpose of it
November 11, 2025 at 2:29 AM
Again.... multiple reports and sources show prices have gone up on retail, cars, groceries, most import items meaning that the cost of living has increased. Score this: Lies. The con job is being perpetrated by Trump.
Trump on affordability: It’s a con job. Costs are way down.

Ingraham: So you are saying voters are misperceiving how they feel?

Ingraham: Why are people saying they are anxious about the economy?

Trump: I don’t know that they are saying that. I think the polls are fake.

The tail-end of a 50 year mortgage is astronomically expensive. Score this: Bad Idea
Ingraham: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?

Trump: It’s not even a big deal. You go from 40 years to 50

Ingraham: 30

If I were to speak with the main 'leaders' I would say this:

Leave the whining and pontificating for social media. Work up a plan of action. Be bold. Be united. And execute the plan. The old ways will not work with Trump who defies our laws. Fight fire with fire. Go on the offensive.
November 11, 2025 at 2:06 AM
"Fail to prepare and You prepare to fail." As true as ever. The Democrats failed to prepare for how they would deal with Trump if he were to be re-elected. He was and they did not have a plan. Right up until today, still no plan. It's not just Schumer.... it is systemic in the party.
