For years, I believed Trump was playing the “Big Con.” His braggadocio was so ridiculous, I was certain that he was playing a role which allowed him to control his cult, composed of wannabe fascists.

During the 2024 campaign, I realized that Trump actually believed his own lies, it wasn’t just bullshit. He is mentally deranged. Inside his cranium, there is a brain which is twisted in knots and is incapable of seeing reality.

HE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT HIS FAIRY TALES WERE REAL

Trump continues to believe that he is a “very intelligent person.” He believes that he “knows more than our generals.” He believed that drinking bleach would cure Covid-19. I even believe that although he knows the truth, inside his little brain, he believes that he won the 2020 election.

Trump is afflicted with a mental disorder called “malignant narcissism.” He was diagnosed with this ailment by a group of highly respected psychiatrists in 2017. Read the definition. Every word accurately describes the “real Donald Trump.”

[Campbell’s Psychiatric Dictionary suggests that malignant narcissism includes traits of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorderTrusted Source causes a person to seek constant acclaim and admiration, often by whatever means necessary. It also includes elements of antisocial personality disorder, which causes a person to engage in harmful, and sometimes criminal, behavior.]

[Malignant narcissism is a severe personality syndrome combining narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) with antisocial behavior, sadism, and paranoia. Key symptoms include an extreme lack of empathy, intense paranoia, manipulative and aggressive behavior, and a desire to destroy others. They often present as charming initially but are actually exploitative and cruel.]

TRUMP’S LATEST DEVIATION FROM REALITY

Trump actually believes that as our nation’s illegitimate president, he has the “right” to have control over the future of other nations.

The very fact that he and his cult refuse to admit that Trump illegally engaged America in another war is absolute proof that he is in denial, and believes that no one possesses his unrealistic level of intelligence.

As he did in Venezuela, he truly believes that he has the right to be a central component in the decisions related to the governance of Iran if regime change becomes a reality. He added an additional term to his lack of understanding and reality: sovereign nation.

MARCO RUBIO: A FAILURE IN THE SENATE, AND AN EVEN WORSE SECRETARY OF STATE

The primary responsibility required of any Trump sycophant is to protect him from his own lies and reality.

Trump told the American people that “he had a feeling that Iran was planning to attack America.” Therefore, he attacked the Middle East nation with the full force of our nation’s military. Not only was this a war crime, it is a clear violation by the Pentagon of the Universal Code of Military Justice.

Trump’s decision was his, and his alone.

However, his close relationship with Israel’s brutal dictator, Benjamin Netanyahu, encouraged his unilateral decision to make the world a less safe place for every man, woman, and child on the planet.

Rubio is placing his own fallacious spin on the tragic mistake in judgement by his Fuhrer.

According to Rubio, “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

Really, Little Marco? Are you trying to gaslight 340 million people. Like all malignant narcissists, Trump is a control freak. Nothing around him happens without his permission and approval.

Trump has done, and will do anything to make the American people focus their attention away from the growing number of allegations related to his acts of pedophilia with his former “best friend,” Jeffrey Epstein, including placing the world in another destructive and unwinnable war.

I LEAVE YOU WITH MY MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Why has our government and the governments of other nation’s allowed one, old, obese, mentally challenged man to cause irreparable harm to the future of every nation on the planet? You tell me: I have no answer.
