Accepting the reality about the presidents disordered personality is importanteven essential.

During the 2016 campaign, I received a phone call from an influential political journalist and author, who was soliciting my thoughts on Donald Trump. Trumps rise in the Republican Party was still something of a shock, and he wanted to know the things I felt he should keep in mind as he went about the task of covering Trump.
At the top of my list: Talk to psychologists and psychiatrists about the state of Trumps mental health, since I considered that to be the most important thing when it came to understanding him. It was Trumps Rosetta stone.
I wasnt shy about making the same case publicly. During a July 14, 2016, appearance on C-SPANs Washington Journal, for example, I responded to a pro-Trump caller who was upset that I opposed Trump despite my having been a Republican for my entire adult life and having served in the Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations and the George W. Bush White House.

(60,010 posts)Quite detailed, it describes the behaviors as related to the specific various symptoms.
The example of his firing people without bothering to inform his staff has to do with his inability to even think about what other people need to know. People don't exist for him unless he needs something from them at the moment, otherwise he literally does not think about them.
Except for those who piss him off/threaten his self image, then he focuses on destroying them.
That's what all the hostile tweets are about, correcting, in his mind, a reality problem.
"Reality is not something existing objectively, outside of the narcissists mind, but is only his minds reflection, good and/or bad, depending on whether it meets or thwarts his need for adulation."
When Trump said his net worth depends on how he feels from moment to moment, he was speaking the truth.
He is a lot crazier than most people realize.
anyhow, worth the read:

After all, their stock has more than doubled since mid-2017.......
All government communications should be in writing only (and no Sharpies) and employees should be allowed to use social media only for personal use, IMO.

(24,449 posts)As much as I hated past Republican
ladministration's and their godawful policies, at least there was a semblance of rational processes being followed.
Democrats need to start the impeachment investigation yesterday and look at everything this administration has done to subvert the Constitution and the rule of law. Don't care if the Republican Senate majority refuses to convict, the American voter can reward them for their cowardice.
