Sorry to focus on this point but gas is subject to a fairly fluid global market. I've been driving a car since Clinton and have never noticed Republicans being better for gas prices or the price of anything, if anything it's the opposite.

Gillibrand is only 57, she's got at least 40 good years left.

Simply pointing out that this guy and his kid have been in the news lately. You may infer that this kid has a bright future ahead of him despite his idiot dad, but can we agree that you came to this conclusion on your own?

Been around, have you?

It’s interesting that you keep putting words in my mouth and moving the goalpost back to where it actually started in this thread. I did not say “According to the DSM”, nor did I say anything about NPD or “cluster B”. I said he’s a textbook narcissist, which is true in layman’s terms.

You’re characterizing things as “slurs” and “weaponizing”, which is a textbook disinformation and confusion tactic, so good day to you doctor.

I don’t know how you concluded that I was using “narcissist” as an insult, because I wasn’t.

From the linked article, written 7 years ago, only a handful of months into his presidency when there was still a swell of mental health professionals maintaining that they should remain impartial:

Trump is an undisputed poster boy for narcissism. He demonstrates in pure form every single symptom described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM) criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, which I wrote in 1978. But lots of successful people are extremely narcissistic without being mentally ill — think most celebrities, many politicians, and a fair percentage of writers, artists, lawyers, doctors, and professors. To qualify for narcissistic personality disorder, an individual’s selfish, unempathetic preening must be accompanied by significant distress or impairment. Trump certainly causes severe distress and impairment in others, but his narcissism doesn’t seem to affect him that way.

In the 7 years since this article was written we’ve had plenty of people testify under oath about his severe distress and impairment, if that’s the criteria that was unmet at that point in time.

Cult of personality, it’s textbook.

Hey, I’m really sorry. That sounds really hard. Vent all you want if it helps.

Yes, the entire system is corrupt and lots of politicians behave in a manner that makes me furious that their actions are actually totally legal within this system. This guy, however, is pathological. He was somehow cleared of federal corruption charges just a couple of years ago.
