Former Speaker Paul Ryan researched how to interact with people with Narcissism after tRump win

Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) started researching how to interact with people with narcissistic personality disorder after President Trump's win in 2016, a new book by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa reportedly reveals.

Business Insider obtained a copy of their book, "Peril," and reported that Ryan was caught off guard by Trump's win against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. But, realizing that he was going to need to work with Trump and since the GOP control both the House and the Senate, Ryan started to research how to work with someone "amoral and transactional," according to the book.

Ryan was also reportedly told by a wealthy doctor, a Republican donor, that he needed "to understand what narcissistic personality disorder is." The doctor explained his "thoughts on how to best deal with a person with anti-social personality disorder" in an email, with links to articles and information about the disorder, according to the book.

"Ryan studied them for weeks, convinced Trump had the personality disorder," Woodward and Costa write.

1. And yet Ryan probably does not realize that he is also very narcissistic.

[yaesu]

4. My thoughts exactly, that's why he has the cushy job on the Fox board. nt

[geardaddy]

14. Bingo!

[Ocelot II]

2. And yet I'll bet Ryan voted for him in both elections.

[dchill]

3. I shouldn't assume he needed any help with that.

[hibbing]

5. Another profile in courage n/t

[yaesu]

9. true 😅 nt

6. This is all the info on a narcissist Ryan needs:

[yaesu]

7. lol nt

[geardaddy]

15. I bet that was a MAGA hat

on his head.

[LakeArenal]

18. No. UW Badgers. This was prior to Dump

[geardaddy]

19. I know it was prior to Trump

It just struck me that he had a red hat on.

[Champp]

8. Wow. The Republicans knew who he was

and still climbed into bed with him.

Weak. Weak and sick.

[Blue Owl]

10. Find a common interest with the narcissist, like how to pay with fake credit

[Bettie]

11. You'd think he'd have already been ready for that

since he is amoral and transactional along with most everyone in office for his party.

[NCjack]

12. No way light-weight Paul Ryan could ever be successful in standing up to TFG.

[AZLD4Candidate]

13. If he were still in Congress, he, Cantor, and the rest of that ilk would be completely behind #45

Who does this sociopathic, narcissitic, opportunistic nihilist think he's fooling?

[Carlitos Brigante]

16. Paul Ryan not understanding narcissism is like is like the Williams sisters not understanding

tennis.

[Tadpole Raisin]

17. I always remember the interview Charlie Sheen gave about his interaction with TFG &

the fake cufflinks TFG gave him. Malignant narcissism doesn’t begin to adequately describe his pathology and a lot of his followers. Ryan couldn’t possibly compete with the brazen disregard for humanity.

[yaesu]

20. That was a great interview, I bet tRump was calling him all kinds of insulting names after

and Charlie laughing is ass off at the sore loser.
