I do not have a big following, nor do I desire one. This needs to be widely read. Please share.

Social psychologist Dr Erich Fromm first used the term “malignant narcissism” (MN) in 1964 describing it as a severe mental disorder. He called it “the quintessence of evil."

Dr Otto Kernberg introduced the concept to psychoanalytic literature in 1984. Keep in mind as you read this, that it ALL predates the #Trump presidency and none of it is discussing him directly. Compare what you see in his behaviour. Does it comport with what is written?

Dr Robert Hare devised a test to help psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians diagnose psychopathologies, including MN, prior to 2000. He writes:

These individuals will often cause long-term harm, both to their co-workers and the organization as a whole, due to their manipulative, deceitful, abusive, and often fraudulent behaviour.

Hare describes people he calls psychopaths as "intraspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, intimidation, sex and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs.

Lacking in conscience and empathy, they take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without guilt or remorse". "What is missing, in other words, are the very qualities that allow a human being to live in social harmony."

Remember, this all predates Donald Trump in the White House and what we have all been witnesses to in the last week. Here is the 20 trait diagnostic tool. A true malignant narcissist would get a perfect score. (Naturally.)

Hare PCL-R (1/2)

Hare PCL-R (2/2)

At this time of true national emergency Donald Trump is questioning #physicians and #nurses as they ask for #ppe. He insinuates they are being hoarded, yet will not invoke the DPA.

Donald Trump is questioning the need for PPE and ventilators, but he is not medically trained.

There must be some provision in medical statute which would allow for the medical assessment of Donald Trump. The future of the country is at stake. Too many lives have already been lost.

Donald Trump said the lowly 15 US cases would be zero soon. WRONG.

Donald Trump said #covid19 would magically disappear. WRONG.

Donald Trump questions that New York will need 40k vents. WRONG.

The horrific truth is because of him they will possibly need more. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung were all malignant narcissists.

To all the #physicians #psychiatrists #psychologists in North America. Is there nothing that can be done?
