Trump’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder includes delusions of greatness, infallibility, self-importance, being unique and therefore entitled to excessive admiration, self-declared exaggerated achievements and talents, unsupported by actual accomplishments, and being obsessed with fantasies of unlimited, success, power, brilliance, and attractiveness. So it follows, as night follows day, that Trump would delude himself to run for the President of the United States, contraindicated by the reality, that he had no training, no education, no qualifications, and no experience in government, was a self-absorbed, short-tempered, crass, arrogant, bully, incapable of compassion and empathy, irascible, combative, erratic, without a conscience, who demands – is entitled to –100% obedience, subservience, and loyalty to him over allegiance to State or Church.
Trump’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder includes being pathologically envious and suspicious of others, and therefore predisposed to slander, berate, and defame the character and achievements of those he perceives as threats. So it follows, as night follows day, that Trump would trash, rescind, eviscerate, and sabotage all things Obama, for example, Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Arms Deal, and The White Houses National Security Counsel Directorate for Global Health, Security and Biodefense established by Obama in 2014, to implement Federal leadership against pandemics.
Having disbanded The White Houses National Security Counsel Directorate for Global Health, Security and Biodefense established by Obama in 2014, to implement Federal leadership against pandemics, Trump was unprepared to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Unprepared to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, Narcissistic Personality Trump – “The Greatest President Ever,” incapable of admitting his tragic mistake, and without a conscience to apologize, did what Trump always did: He lied, deceived, and propagandized: “…we have it” (the coronavirus) “totally under control.’ (1/22/20). “The Coronavirus is very much under control. The stock market is starting to look very good to me.” (2/24/20). “Any body that needs a test ans have a test.”(3/6/20). “With several weeks a vaccine – one of the fastest vaccines development launched in history.” 3/18/20.
By being unprepared, by lying that the coronavirus risk was minimal, by propagandizing that in April, the virus might “disappear,” and “people can go to work on Easter,” Trump was the direct cause of death to Americans, who but for Trump’s actions and lies, would be alive today.
