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).

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!

[@nvoo123]

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

[@joshuakuhn5741]

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.

[@theoriginalrandomman]

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.

[@I_Ace]

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

One more thing. According to the CDC, 78% percent of people who were hospitalized or died from Covid-19 were overweight and obese. This means that Covid-19 is not nice to people who don't take care of their bodies, yet I still see long lines of people at the drive-thru of McDonald's. When will people start taking personal responsibility for their own health? The vast majority of Covid-19 deaths could have been prevented if people would have put a little more effort into leading a healthier lifestyle. But again, personal responsibility is a thing of the past. People need someone or something to blame in order to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings...

[@Sara-gl8ue]

@Rotary Man Trump needs a lesson in how to care for his body too! Americans have such bad diets these days. And I'm not "fat shaming". I'm stating facts, which seem to be offensive to some. If I was fat and my doctor or a concerned family member told me I needed to lose weight, I would NOT assume they were shaming me. People need to get a grip on reality.

[@webmediafactors4]

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.

[@cybersandoval]

Your video saved me from research I've been procrastinating, thank you. His fans seem as emotionally stunted as he (January 6th tantrum).

[@admech590]

I think it's also important to take note trump, being the narcissist that he is, knew how to prey on disgruntled blue collar workers. And lets be honest, neither side gives a damn about the working class. Trump ended up giving massive tax cuts to billionaires, and the Biden shut down a pipeline and drove thousands of Americans into joblessness for the environment. Neither side cares about the public, and that's really sad if you think about it. The only guy who cared was Bernie, and the Americans sacrificed him on the altar of partisanship.

Same. Foundamentally narcissim is a way of escapism, it is just projected outwardly. The other way is to escape inward to yourself.

[@ascendedalchemist2551]

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.

Not great, but he did do the bare minimum of not starting a world war.
