Apologies about the reupload. The last one was age-gated due to 1/2 a second of non-puritan content (it showed a girl dancing suggestively). When a video is age-restricted it usually ends up removed from recommendations. I took out the part that I think was causing great moral harm to the RUclips community.
I think that due to the political nature of it (as well as the many comments left by very nice Trump supporters), the video was getting mass-reported. Eventually someone at RUclips must have seen something that the report claimed was there
I have the best mental illness. Narcissistic personality disorder is the best disorder anyone can have. My delusions of grandeur are the greatest delusions of all time

Narcissism wouldn't be so horrifying if it only destroyed the narcissist. What makes it so horrifying is that they are willing to destroy everyone else around them in the process just so they can deny their own destruction as the result of their own hubris.
It's true that a narcissist destroys their surroundings, but it's not necessary that a narcissist would destroy themselves. Narcissists can dominate the world and be at the top. It's a winning personality which becomes self destructing if not controlled properly.

I was raised in a a household just like Trump's. It's unfortunate he succumbed to his own lies. I felt empty for a long time, but I've been doing better mentally for a while now. It's a terrible way to live
So happy you saw the light, well done! Overcoming that has got to be one of the hardest things. It obliterates your world view and sense of self before it comes together. Very painful

A lot more than 1% of the population has Narcissism. It's hardly ever diagnosed because they are the least likely to see a psychiatrist because they don't think anything is wrong with them. It's usually the victims of the abuse who are told that their abusive loved one(s) is a narcissist.
The stat was about NPD as a diagnosed disorder. Narcissim as a personality type is not diagnosed and we don't have stats. But judging by my own environment: most people are narcs.
Even 1% is increadibly common for narcissists extreme enough to be a hazard to others. (It's only at this point that it's a disorder) Then there is social media that caters to the self-absorbed, enhancing their image and showing it to the world.
@@stefangrobbink7760 1% is only for overt narcs tha got (probably forcefully) into mental treatment. There is plenty that don't attend mental help because they have no problem with it (it's just the others that suffer). And there are covert type narcs that even harder to quantify.
No doubt about The Don being a full blown narcissistic egomaniac. Still, I believe that we all have narcissistic tendencies as part of our personality structure. Like with all personality traits, it’s kind of a spectrum. I was missing this aspect in your video. It came across a bit fingerpointy, without giving back the acknowledge that we all are narcs to some degree imho. I’m worried that without such acknowledgement of „the evil“ in oneself, we’re pushing stereotyping more and more forward, which will lead to more blaming, dividing and raging. Anyway, sry for the rambling. As always your video was quite entertaining and thought provoking. Also I really liked the editing on this one. So thanks man!
there’s a difference between having narcissistic personality traits and having NPD tho. it seems like the video was example after example of why trump is a narcissist/has npd vs has narcissistic traits. he laid out the reasoning for why with the childhood trauma and quotes from his mother. people have narcissistic traits but like he said in the beginning of the video althought narcissism is thrown around a lot in conversations today only 1% of people of people actually have npd. this video is explaining why trump is in that 1% not just another person w narcissistic traits
As the guy above already explained pretty well, it’s not about people being generally self-centered or egoistic sometimes. Narcissism is more like a deeper rooted mental disfunction (or trauma) than a character trait or mood. The video is not very blaming in my opinion, as Sisyphus explains pretty well the childhood upbringing that caused this behavior.
I mean, he devotes a section of the video to handling the "universality" of narcissism as per the Melville quote. I'm not sure I totally get it myself, but it seems like the gist is that we all have an idealized self that we want to achieve, that we all want to earn (legitimate) praise. The difference between that and an actual narcissist is that the narcissist devotes themselves to maintaining the fiction that they've earned praise and status when they have not.
Dude normal people have what we call "Healthy Narcissism" aka self love and respect. Its on a continuum, but NPD is that of a pathalogical sense. Its so extreme, pathological, and malevolent. Healthy narcissism is no where near NPD. Dont use this as an excsuse to do Narcisstic things. Many narcissists will use that as an argument to control ur wellbeing
Learning about Trump's past was actually wild. Also fun fact he used to be more left leaning (culturally, that is. Still can't go taxing the megacorps lmao) and liberal, and some decades back wanted Oprah (yes, Oprah. Trump wanted Oprah) to be his Vice President because of the example she set to women on success through hard work.
If you look at his history of politics, he’s actually *usually* been in the opposing political party of whichever political party is in charge or popular at the time.
I am so glad this is explained to a point anyone can understand. He was a narcissist, he is a narcissist, he will be one. Trumpism is exactly the president that once was.

Kraut has a REALLY good video on him. If you like Sisiphus you'll like him too. It's called "Trumps biggest failure" (because his biggest failure is taking attention away from China and underestimating their geopolitical power, and you click the video because you think its about Trump, further enforcing this point)
Also, the video does address the issue of the 'utopian ideals' behind Stalin and Mao..We may not understand or agree with them but they are about more than just 'Donald knows best & must always be right'! In Trump's world, there is no concept of anything outside himself.
Xi isn’t really anything special. He’s a socialist bureaucrat, the picture of what the CCP strives for in its party members. In this sense has has much more in common with people like Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, or Nancy Pelosi. He simply serves opposite values.
Whew, with the propaganda pushed into him that guy is a mess. He thinks he is a historical figure & the only one capable of bringing China to greatness, that only those who prove themselves loyal to the cause, can do it & he is such. He sat through the propaganda & worked his way up.

That said, given Chomsky’s frequent depictions of America as some sort of evil empire, I doubt this was the take he meant.
@@dialectic5361 If you want to look at it from that oversimplified, black and white, Chomskian perspective, by all means, do so. Just know that it’s just as inaccurate as depictions of America as some sort of God-blessed city on a hill which can do no wrong.
@@ZeteticPhilosopher how about the following take: america is an evil empire, but not out of inherent evil. it has been on a slippery slope of "if we want to stay as important and mighty as we are, we have to do [x]" x being wars, annexations, coups, keeping the majority poor and undereducated.
looking at the thumbnail: ah, its just another dumb clickbait vid reading his channel name: "oh thy great content, get dumped in my non-specific knowledge dump"
I know this video was about Trump, but I recognized that I use many of the listed coping mechanisms, especially performing behaviors that will yield affection, my personality being a reflection of my environment, and not having a truthful self with fleshed out genuine emotions. I really appreciate this eye opening video!
Those who underwent narc treatment in the young age would either cope with the harm by becoming a narc themselves, or would have to work on themselves later in adulthood to develop qualities that were underdeveloped naturally. Guess, which path is easier? And which path promisses more 'success' in moder society?
I will gladly sit through all 20 ads on this video. Thanks for the educating people about our former president. Even if it's just a small drop in the ocean, it's important to fight ignorance with knowledge.
The new OCD. The world has learned a little about narcissism so of course every ex BF/GF is a narcissist immediately. Its just not that common, and is destructive to either any success or most often interpersonal relationships. It is so far beyond self-centeredness or somebody with confidence, that you don’t like.
@@npc1172 when you actually see the real thing in a psych hospital, its nothing like people think it is. OCD is completely irrational, and not even remotely related to being a person that likes things nice and neat. These people are literally on the brink of complete panic, if they don’t tap the door 14 times before moving past it. They KNOW it is irrational, but they can’t help it. Same with ADHD. When you see a 6 year old vibrating in a chair, who can barely even complete a sentence without getting distracted......its like, “Oh, damn.”
@@Deeplycloseted435 the neat freak thing is what drives me insane about it most of the time like you said it’s something irrational like if I don’t tap something such and such could happen. There’s a lot of shame involved in the little rituals people with it go through too. That’s been my experience with it. It’s definitely not fun and defies all logic.
Yeah I've noticed an uptick in using the word... Id argue that ppl who they call narcissists are actually either mean or at most, displaying lack of emotion (sociopathy or psychopathy) which is way more common of a disorder
“He has no guiding force”. That’s what makes him so dangerous. He loves whoever loves him. So, pretend to love him and he’ll back whatever awful plan you have. Just ask Putin.
I once heard a psychologist say that narcissists are among the very *last* people who will ever seek professional help. By their very nature, they need no help and are presumably smarter than the professionals.
Summary: There is nothing great behind the greatness but a bottomless black hole of all-consuming selfish need. His lifelong behaviours would have caused anyone with any semblance of a conscience to feel remorse. He has none. He is an empty box.
Well said. A black hole of a being (can't call him human, there's no humanity in him.) He just takes and takes and gives nothing but hate and paranoia. Can't call him a man, there's no manhood in him.
That’s because his emotional needs were not met as a child. He also inherited the genetics of psychopathic parents. He was doomed to be an empty box from the day he was born.
@@maryjane9152 It's very hard to listen to, or watch Trump. It's not just the pettiness, the ignorance, the extremely limited set of tricks, the phoniness, the toxicity, the low standards of conduct, the self-absorption......he is just a deeply unsympathetic human. His niece provided the only information that humanized Trump (his childhood and lack of adequate parenting).
@@matthewbyrd398 Only a human would understand so therefore you really don't have a life or one of much meaning. Stephen is at least a human being. Cant say that for people who are like Trump. Go away troll.
a vid like this about the cult would be interesting too. And scary. I think we'll get LOTS of that in the future. feature films, docs, etc. I should write and produce one myself. I've been interested in the subject since Manson and Jim Jones. The capital riot was mild compared to what could have happened.
Its been interesting. I think the biggest thing people miss about jim jones is that those were regular people that joined the peoples temple. Everyone just assumes it was a bunch of nut-jobs because they dont want to come to grips with the fact that it could happen to almost anyone.
@@FirstnameLastname-jz1ux very true. just lonely people looking for a group of like minded people to be with. Manson was the same. the leaders of those groups know that and take full advantage for their twisted aims.
The kkkult needs to be addressed. That many people grabbing onto those negative traits; fear, anger, paranoia...en masse...bizzare and frightening. Cults never end well.
God damn that was an amazing psychological breakdown on why he is the way he is. At 1 point I thought you were talking about my own father… He has many of the same issues and I think you helped me to understand why my pops is the way he is. Thank you for the videos!
I’ve found most people criticize trump because it’s trendy and fashionable. This is the single greatest unbiased explanation of this seemingly inexplicable man. Thank you for your dedication to the logos
I'm pretty sure most people criticize him because of the shit he does that gets highlighted in the video. Ya know, the lying, the ego....narcissism... but that's just me.
@Maculis19 - LOL! OMG, that was so funny my side still hurts !!! So, do you think all court cases Trump has lost were just because the prosecutors were just acting trendy & fashionable? Please reply ........
Sortilege is kind of a scary way to put people into power. Maybe if we tested people first, then randomly selected people from the tested pool to leadership positions.
I started off with low self esteem and Interestingly I picked up some narcissistic personality traits during rough times as a defense mechanism and once the rough times were over I discarded most of these traits. I'd say that I came out with healthy amounts of self esteem. But still kinda low.
@@jochenjockel as someone who goes to a conservative school in an extremely conservative area... yes. 100%. my science teachers are bothered by masks (not to mention stuff like evolution lol)
I'm surprised they didn't touch upon the nature of pathological narcissists to build communities of narcissists. In addition to the Co-Dependent and those who entertain their grandiosity, they additional purposefully build communities in order to maintain their supply. This is the same behavior addicts exhibit, wherein they will have friends based almost solely on their ability to access drugs when needed. In a community of addicts, you will find every possible personality type forming a community around one common agreement -- that they will share drugs when needed. For that agreement they will ignore things like violence, rape, deception, indifference to injustice, etc.
I'd be a better narcissist if I tried, and it would be an easy victory. The problem is that I won't waste my time on such an attempt because I have better things to do. 😎
Sensitive narcissist are the people who always painting a self-loathing story that someone or something ruined their life, but at the same time they are complete assholes to close peers such as siblings and children.

not gonna lie i cant justify how he acts but i definitely feel bad for his childhood being mostly ignored never feeling emotion. i was similar, but instead if resorting to narcissism i fell into escapism
At about the 10 minute mark I realized that I was watching a video about narcissists and not that I was listening to a therapist give me an explanation of my life.
This is such a good and educational video! I sure hope people can learn from it! The video has tasteful family-friendly content, really really nice. Oh Algorithm, please share it with our fellow humans!
it's funny reading all the yt comment trump apologists; they all act within the epistemological structures of what you have laid on in the video so perfectly. Good job.
Exactly, just disregarding everything and saying "BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA" or "Trump did this one single thing right so therefore he's the best ever lol libtards mad"
You almost, almost make me feel pity for him, However, I've suffered many traumas in my my life just as harsh as his if not worst. The difference is I grew and learned to adapt to my environment. Thank you for your video
Thank you. There are many of us who have survived absolute horrors and did not become toxic to others. No excuse for his vile words and evil behaviors.
That would be virtually impossible at his age. At Trump’s age and with his cognitive decline, narcissistic personality disorder is essentially untreatable.

@@ZeteticPhilosopher how about the following take: america is an evil empire, but not out of inherent evil. it has been on a slippery slope of "if we want to stay as important and mighty as we are, we have to do [x]" x being wars, annexations, coups, keeping the majority poor and undereducated.
Marxists propaganda is unfortunately successful 😖
Posted just as he left washington lol
looking at the thumbnail: ah, its just another dumb clickbait vid
reading his channel name: "oh thy great content, get dumped in my non-specific knowledge dump"
So you're saying this is a dumb click bait vid? Please explain.
@@brucemacmillan7128 they mean that the thumbnail is clickbaity like, even though the content isn't.
Ahh shit, here we go again.
God the music. If the Trumpster had a soundtrack, it would be tacky 80's music.
vic berger does an incredibly appropriate 80s theme for trump in his vids. its perfect.
i hear the imperial march when i watch capitol footage
@@magicfairycome I hear the 80's song Gloria, sung by Laura Branigan, when I watch the Capitol riots.
Donald Trump epitomized the 80s.
The 80s artist I think that goes best with Trump is Buster Poindexter.
This is one of the best videos on RUclips. The writing, sourcing, music, visuals, editing and voiceover are all A+.
I know this video was about Trump, but I recognized that I use many of the listed coping mechanisms, especially performing behaviors that will yield affection, my personality being a reflection of my environment, and not having a truthful self with fleshed out genuine emotions. I really appreciate this eye opening video!
Me too, I've been consuming lots of content about narcissism recently because I have some of those traits. Good luck on finding yourself
Those who underwent narc treatment in the young age would either cope with the harm by becoming a narc themselves, or would have to work on themselves later in adulthood to develop qualities that were underdeveloped naturally. Guess, which path is easier? And which path promisses more 'success' in moder society?
Everyone know he’s over compensating for certain... “shortcomings”. Especially Stormy, she knows...
She said his dick looked like Toad
Pretty sure most circumcised dicks look like that....
I will gladly sit through all 20 ads on this video. Thanks for the educating people about our former president. Even if it's just a small drop in the ocean, it's important to fight ignorance with knowledge.
That photo of Mommy Trump certainly informs Donnie's hair choices later in life.
The new OCD. The world has learned a little about narcissism so of course every ex BF/GF is a narcissist immediately. Its just not that common, and is destructive to either any success or most often interpersonal relationships. It is so far beyond self-centeredness or somebody with confidence, that you don’t like.
OCD is awful man just being thought locked would brake most people that say they have it
@@npc1172 when you actually see the real thing in a psych hospital, its nothing like people think it is. OCD is completely irrational, and not even remotely related to being a person that likes things nice and neat. These people are literally on the brink of complete panic, if they don’t tap the door 14 times before moving past it. They KNOW it is irrational, but they can’t help it.
Same with ADHD. When you see a 6 year old vibrating in a chair, who can barely even complete a sentence without getting distracted......its like, “Oh, damn.”
@@Deeplycloseted435 the neat freak thing is what drives me insane about it most of the time like you said it’s something irrational like if I don’t tap something such and such could happen. There’s a lot of shame involved in the little rituals people with it go through too. That’s been my experience with it. It’s definitely not fun and defies all logic.
Yeah I've noticed an uptick in using the word... Id argue that ppl who they call narcissists are actually either mean or at most, displaying lack of emotion (sociopathy or psychopathy) which is way more common of a disorder
1% is 1 in 100
It’s not that uncommon either, js
Honestly, I really need to start commenting on all of Sisyphus' videos. He needs more exposure.
0:00 When you think you gonna hear the final countdown, but its just a bootleg.... :(
It's the Lastest OffSign
@@nukiradio Lastest numbering to the bottom*
just sing along it fits. lol
“He has no guiding force”. That’s what makes him so dangerous. He loves whoever loves him. So, pretend to love him and he’ll back whatever awful plan you have. Just ask Putin.
wow a Putin comment from 9 months ago. any updates?
I once heard a psychologist say that narcissists are among the very *last* people who will ever seek professional help. By their very nature, they need no help and are presumably smarter than the professionals.
Easy way to diagnose Donald Trump: Ask him for a series of interviews, to learn what makes him "so great"
Just let him run his mouth...he displays his insanity proudly.
Summary: There is nothing great behind the greatness but a bottomless black hole of all-consuming selfish need. His lifelong behaviours would have caused anyone with any semblance of a conscience to feel remorse. He has none. He is an empty box.
Well said. A black hole of a being (can't call him human, there's no humanity in him.) He just takes and takes and gives nothing but hate and paranoia. Can't call him a man, there's no manhood in him.
That’s because his emotional needs were not met as a child. He also inherited the genetics of psychopathic parents. He was doomed to be an empty box from the day he was born.
This is such a good video essay that deserves more views.
Oh- its a reupload!! Makes sense. I knew something was off...
I've already seen this one, but since I got a notification I'm morally obligated to watch again
Whatever he is, it is to such a level that the man makes me feel physically ill.
Same here add in a demonic force and you have your physically ill.
@@maryjane9152 It's very hard to listen to, or watch Trump. It's not just the pettiness, the ignorance, the extremely limited set of tricks, the phoniness, the toxicity, the low standards of conduct, the self-absorption......he is just a deeply unsympathetic human. His niece provided the only information that humanized Trump (his childhood and lack of adequate parenting).
@@CaminoAir Yes I agree and dangerous very dangerous!
I think that would be a reflection of your own shortcomings and incompetence in life.
@@matthewbyrd398 Only a human would understand so therefore you really don't have a life or one of much meaning. Stephen is at least a human being. Cant say that for people who are like Trump. Go away troll.
This was very good, man. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. It moved me on many fronts. Truly - thank you.
a vid like this about the cult would be interesting too. And scary. I think we'll get LOTS of that in the future. feature films, docs, etc. I should write and produce one myself. I've been interested in the subject since Manson and Jim Jones. The capital riot was mild compared to what could have happened.
Its been interesting. I think the biggest thing people miss about jim jones is that those were regular people that joined the peoples temple. Everyone just assumes it was a bunch of nut-jobs because they dont want to come to grips with the fact that it could happen to almost anyone.
@@FirstnameLastname-jz1ux very true. just lonely people looking for a group of like minded people to be with. Manson was the same. the leaders of those groups know that and take full advantage for their twisted aims.
The kkkult needs to be addressed. That many people grabbing onto those negative traits; fear, anger, paranoia...en masse...bizzare and frightening. Cults never end well.
This is the third time I’m gonna nag you for this one, buuuut please do one on borderline personality disorder.
I second this!
I third this!
I fourth this
There is no clear case study of what BPD is because it is an ill-defined condition.
God damn that was an amazing psychological breakdown on why he is the way he is. At 1 point I thought you were talking about my own father… He has many of the same issues and I think you helped me to understand why my pops is the way he is.
Thank you for the videos!
Oh.
Well okie dokie; I'll just watch this again.
Thanks for the content Mr. Sisyphus
Reruns man!
I’ve found most people criticize trump because it’s trendy and fashionable. This is the single greatest unbiased explanation of this seemingly inexplicable man. Thank you for your dedication to the logos
I'm pretty sure most people criticize him because of the shit he does that gets highlighted in the video. Ya know, the lying, the ego....narcissism... but that's just me.
@@roybatty9935..I think the OP means the EXCESSIVE and pathological criticism--the non-stop obsession with hating him.
@Maculis19 - LOL!
OMG, that was so funny my side still hurts !!!
So, do you think all court cases Trump has lost were just because the prosecutors were just acting trendy & fashionable?
Please reply ........
I watched the original upload, but I'll help promote this vid with a comment for ye olde algorithm. Great content as always Sisyphus!
'All those who seek and desire power can never be permitted power.'
Sortilege is kind of a scary way to put people into power.
Maybe if we tested people first, then randomly selected people from the tested pool to leadership positions.
Seeing this video being stomped by the yt algorithm makes me a bit sad
It should be
"ITS THE LAST COUNT BACKWARDS"
I started off with low self esteem and Interestingly I picked up some narcissistic personality traits during rough times as a defense mechanism and once the rough times were over I discarded most of these traits. I'd say that I came out with healthy amounts of self esteem. But still kinda low.
I have been binging on this channel all day! Awesome content!
I'm gonna watch this and then some pro-trump content (ughh) so that this vid gets recommended to trumpies bahaha. wish me luck....
No need to put yourself through that torture man
You’re a genius

Trump 2016: Let's make America great again!
Trump 2020: I'm not leaving the white house and would fight back!
I'm surprised they didn't touch upon the nature of pathological narcissists to build communities of narcissists. In addition to the Co-Dependent and those who entertain their grandiosity, they additional purposefully build communities in order to maintain their supply. This is the same behavior addicts exhibit, wherein they will have friends based almost solely on their ability to access drugs when needed. In a community of addicts, you will find every possible personality type forming a community around one common agreement -- that they will share drugs when needed. For that agreement they will ignore things like violence, rape, deception, indifference to injustice, etc.
6:34. So, Donald's mother's actual haircut? It might explain...stuff.
lmao
I'm convinced eyes did not exist in the past with the things people were rockin
I startled SEVERAL people on the subway with the loudness of the laugh your comment induced
I'm just gonna leave this here for the algorithm to notice. Great video essay, bud.
rewatching to make sure the forced re upload getting fewer views doesn't screw your view statistics
I'd be a better narcissist if I tried, and it would be an easy victory. The problem is that I won't waste my time on such an attempt because I have better things to do.
😎
Sensitive narcissist are the people who always painting a self-loathing story that someone or something ruined their life, but at the same time they are complete assholes to close peers such as siblings and children.
Your vids keep getting better! Keep it up. Do you plan on tackleing Jaque Lacan anytime in the near future? I have developed a great interest in his theories but I have yet to find a video about him, which explains his concepts in a calm and concise manner like your videos do.
I love this video. I shared direct tweets of it to Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy and the GOP
Awesome!
Hi Sisyphus. Donald's tune is "it's fun to stay at the YMCA."
He's not a narcissist....he's simply the best. For him, it's not a delusion.
I love this video. It is objective but still damning. I can’t wait for more of this!
You know trumps followers will be attacking you for telling the truth about donny.
The amount of trumpers in here is fascinating, goes to show they'll do anything for the God-Emperor.
One of your best videos yet, you've trumped yourself!
“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
To put it in perspective, they love him as much as we hate him , and I've never hated or as been repulsed by someone as much in my life .
Same here for Joe Biden, but for actual reasons, like his declining mental health and 50yrs of doing nothing.
Yes...We've never seen anyone so despicable. So vile, so foul. Just a puppet of the elite, he made sure the rich got richer.
One of your most well constructed videos, excellent job
This was well put together. Thanks for making this. I’ve personally grown what feels like a deep hatred for him for what he’s turned this country into. But this helps me come to terms of why this all happened. Electing a narcissist to govern one of the most powerful countries in the world might just be one of the worst things the USA will be known for in history
Don't worry, biden will do much better, 52000 jobs lost was it?
@@OsirisMawn A neoliberal is better than what we had.
@@alejandrotellez2962 oh I agree. It's just that when most people say they hate him, they are usually just fueled by popular opinion. "Oh I hate trunp give me good girl points"
@@OsirisMawn I mean it’s pretty easy to see why he’s shit, even at a surface level. Look how he handled Covid for example
@@jacobhafar538 dude, I'm from a third world country, a real one not india or something. We have much worse leaders than someone who prioritized economy over health
not gonna lie i cant justify how he acts but i definitely feel bad for his childhood being mostly ignored never feeling emotion. i was similar, but instead if resorting to narcissism i fell into escapism
Same. Foundamentally narcissim is a way of escapism, it is just projected outwardly. The other way is to escape inward to yourself.
my favorite video of yours, very well done and very interesting.
First timer watcher now a subscriber.
Don’t know why I’m writing this!
Help the algorithm I guess!
the layers of shame and grandiosity and pathos you are able to put into a stick figure face is really awesome
Love your channel just found it on my lunch break and am going to binge all your videos later on
Trump kind of reminds me of the biblical king Nebuchadnezzer.
Loved the video!! Please keep making more 🙏
Thank you for all the awesome content
At about the 10 minute mark I realized that I was watching a video about narcissists and not that I was listening to a therapist give me an explanation of my life.
YT algorithum brought me here, so not all hope is lost.
This is such a good and educational video! I sure hope people can learn from it! The video has tasteful family-friendly content, really really nice. Oh Algorithm, please share it with our fellow humans!
it's funny reading all the yt comment trump apologists; they all act within the epistemological structures of what you have laid on in the video so perfectly. Good job.
Exactly, just disregarding everything and saying "BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA" or "Trump did this one single thing right so therefore he's the best ever lol libtards mad"
5 min in and I gotta say, the music is hilarious (I, like Trump, am from the 80's and 90's) HILARIOUS!
You almost, almost make me feel pity for him, However, I've suffered many traumas in my my life just as harsh as his if not worst. The difference is I grew and learned to adapt to my environment. Thank you for your video
Thank you. There are many of us who have survived absolute horrors and did not become toxic to others. No excuse for his vile words and evil behaviors.
If you call a narcissist the Best Narcissist, would he or she be insulted or flattered?
Flattered on the inside and outwardly upset; I think that at least.
YT just used it's Trump card XD
just commenting for the algorithm, keep up the good work big man
Who he truly was, got lost at the age of three. After that his EGO took over.
The true American dream.
“Who he truly was” never really had a chance to form at the age of three. His upbringing prevented that from happening.
Very well done, friend
Really dig your content it's super far out getting to learn about this psychedelic philosophical information
Incredibly well explained and concise. Great job!
My wish for Mr. Trump is that he suddenly understands reality and his place in it completely, and gains the ability to feel shame.
well it's been a year
I want to see the effect a prison sentence has on him. Will he become a human in a year? A decade? 🤔
That would be virtually impossible at his age. At Trump’s age and with his cognitive decline, narcissistic personality disorder is essentially untreatable.
This was the best psychological analysis of Trump I have ever seen! Very good job!
I feel like I've learned a lot here. Great video 👍🏿
My addition. Alcohol is about pain, cocaine is about power, rage is about fear & hurt. They all have addictions attachments. Swap 1 state for another.
