I had a relative that was a diagnosed narcissist

She has since passed, but the things I learned about narcissism from her still remain.

You must always be careful talking to a narcissist. They are always trying to manipulate the conversation, and before you know it they'll claim you've agreed to something you would never agree to.

Even your silence cannot save you. They manipulate the conversation in such a way that your silence becomes confirmation to some crazy thing they are trying to get you to do.

When a narcissist says I would like to "buy an expensive item someday". You better make sure that "someday" doesn't mean tomorrow.

This is why Trump makes statements like "many countries are interested in helping with the Strait of Hormuz".

Translation: He has had conversations with other leaders who never said yes, but listened with interest.

Always be careful with a narcissist.

And the DUmp'Rat's complete lack of self awareness makes s/h/it completely oblivious to the commonalities.

In the real world, while the impotent EuroLanders who will ultimately be among the many who benefit from Iran being crushed have weaseled out of helping, several Gulf and neighboring countries have stepped up to help. To its shame, the UK won't even help protect its interests in the Med!

Did anyone's 2026 Predictions bingo card include Arab Gulf nations' militaries fighting alongside Israel's?

More generally, doncha love Dems' and other Progs' pop-psych diagfauxses of Trump?

Interesting. Because that's the impression I get when I listen to leftists 'debate'. They never want to talk about the failures of Democrats; rather, they try to steer the discussion towards talking about problems in red states, or something Trump supposedly did, or anything that makes Republicans look bad.
