Trump and his Narcissistic Mortification

CaughtInThe said:

I, or someone here, started a thread a while back talking about what happens to Narcissists when all their games/systems/protections/alternate reality start failing and how they react. It's their worst nightmare times a million.

Here's a guy explaining it again. It's exactly what we're watching/will watch.



"To put it in more psychological terms, narcissistic mortification is EXTREME fear experienced when one with a rigidly grandiose pathology sees his sense of self as exposed, defective or inferior. It was coined by Freud in his book Moses and Monotheism. It's described there as deep injuries to ego/self, triggered by one's own compulsiveness (unforced errors -- like suggesting Putin would only release prisoners to him which set him up for embarrassment, or choosing Vance as his running mate against his better judgment, which drives him crazy daily, or repeatedly attacking the popular Georgia Governor Kemp against his own interests, because he can't control himself)...

...

Narcissistic mortification is a precursor to narcissistic collapse."

Viewing this breakdown is simultaneously awesome and horrifying. Awesome for obvious reasons, and horrifying because he'll take a "If I can't have it nobody will" approach (although it can be said he's taken this approach already for years now).

I know one thing from watching what happened to other extreme cults, in the end, the cult closes ranks around the leader, and then there's a suicide mission ending. Of course Trump won't die in this instance because he's nothing more than a user.
