TRUMP is clearly suffering from an narcissistic personality disorder.
People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are characterized by persistent grandiosity, excessive need for admiration, and a personal disdain and lack of empathy for others. As such, the person with NPD usually displays arrogance and a distorted sense of superiority, and they seek to establish abusive power and control over others. Self-confidence (a strong sense of self) is different from narcissistic personality disorder; people with NPD typically value themselves over others to the extent that they openly disregard the feelings and wishes of others, and expect to be treated as superior, regardless of their actual status or achievements] Moreover, the person with narcissistic personality disorder usually exhibits a fragile ego, intolerance of criticism, and a tendency to belittle others in order to validate their own superiority.
Trump is a right wing conservative and has fired and hired candidates accordingly. The turnover at the Top of the Trump Administration is unprecedented. Key replacements unfortunately include .thugs like Mike Pompeo, Elliott Abrams and John Bolton.
Pompeo is a controversial figure who has voiced support for torture, wants to keep the prison at Guantanamo Bay open, and has a history of xenophobic remarks, particularly about Muslims.
Elliott Abrams while serving in the administration of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, was a star of that Cold War period known as the Iran-Contra affair, during which the US illegally sold weapons to Iran and funnelled the proceeds to right-wing Contra forces busily terroisingNicaragua.
.
Abrams's own track record also includes cheerleading for the US invasion of Iraq as well as Israeli assaults
on Arab civilians. He was furthermore linked
to the failed 2002 coup against Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez, a persistent thorn in the side of US imperialism.
John Bolton a 69-year-old Republican has been praised by conservatives as a straight-talking foreign policy hawk, while his critics label him as unhinged, dangerous and as one US television host memorably put it "a massive neocon on steroids". As a key architect of the war against Iraq, John Bolton is accused of distorting intelligence reports to build the case that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be wrong. He's consistently argued for an uncompromising US stance backed by overwhelming force in crisis after crisis.
