What we know about malignant narcissists is that they psychologically decompensate once they achieve the ultimate position of power. They worsen in every possible way: become more grandiose and paranoid, more aggressive and demanding, and progressively less in touch with reality (and Trump has never been fully in touch with it).
We can expect his narcissistic rage to intensify in proportion to his increasing grandiosity and paranoia.
His handlers will have to resort to increasingly more creative ways to placate and subdue him and it will work, for a while, until it doesnt.

Bannon and Miller are the people writing Trump's speeches.

(15,812 posts)It was a video clip that ran on my Facebook feed yesterday.
The interviewer asked him at what point does Cheeto ignore things (called out specifically the loss of the popular vote) and just let things roll off his back. Interviewer started that question by weaving in something about Cheeto's CIA speech.
And that's all Cheeto zoomed in on - the CIA speech and how well he did.
It came off as aggressive and out of touch with reality. Never mind that his answer simply amplified the idea that he is unable to let anything go.
He is surely still going ballistic on this fine Sunday morning.
