That old Cassandra feeling is back again.

[YodaMom2]

36. Trump is incapable of being a "good leader".

I mean that quite literally. He’s a textbook, checks-ALL-the-boxes malignant narcissist. He suffers from an extreme, and deeply buried, sense of shame and inadequacy. To shield himself from psychic injury, he projects bravado, bluster, arrogance, superiority, and power. But to keep that façade going, he needs the constant praise, flattery, and adoration of others to confirm he’s all of those things and more. He’s like a bucket without a bottom: no matter how much you pour into it, the bucket can never be filled. His need for praise and validation is insatiable.

And if he *does* feel injured, either through criticism or any attempt to hold him accountable for his wrongdoing, he will lash out and seek to DESTROY the source of the injury. And his malignancy manifests in the sense of pleasure, even glee, he feels at the pain he inflicts on his detractors. The greater their pain, the more he enjoys it.

Such a person can never be a “good leader”. He is, and always will be, motivated by self, by his insatiable appetite for praise and power. He is incapable of caring about anything else.
