Are You Worried

Editorial & Political Cartoons

I am.

Trump is getting attacked from every direction and by every media, Facebook is flooded with Trump editorial cartoons, the media is saturated with Trump tweets, he is dropping in the polls and people do no longer believe his lies. The courts are blocking many of his Executive Orders.

What I worry what will this do to an unstable personality?

Narcissistic personality disorder

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

• Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
• Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
• Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
• Exaggerate achievements and talents
• Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
• Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
• Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
• Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
• Take advantage of others to get what they want
• Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
• Be envious of others and believe others envy them
• Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
• Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

• Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
• Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
• React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
• Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
• Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
• Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
• Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

Do you know anyone with of those symptoms?

I worry what he will do if he feels cornered? I worry what he will do if he feels the world is closing in on him? Attack a country to take the focus off of him? Call out the military to keep Congress from impeaching him?

I worry about is that he has his fingers on the nuclear button and he controls the military; let’s hope that they know the difference between a lawful order and an illegal one from a raving lunatic.

I worry if his heavily armed radical white supremacist “white shirts” will follow his call to arms.
