Excellent article. Correct on every point. There was no opportunity in that debate format to counter the firehose of lies coming from trump. I have been in a similar situation with a malignant narcissist. When the spew opens up on an honest person and no one assists in correcting the flow of lies - the one honest person cannot stem the flow in an allotted time period. It’s overwhelming.
Now with the decision from our compromised Supreme Court, giving Trump immunity for “official acts” and limiting evidence - the answer is clear - Trump can not become President again if we are to maintain democracy.
This is now clearly a matter of National Security and I am wondering if Biden’s advisors have the fortitude to do what is necessary to protect the country.
Malignant narcissists will not stop as you have said. Trump is the perfect idiot for an enemy seeking to overthrow our democracy from within.
But now SCOTUS has made this immunity ruling while Biden is still President and Commander in Chief. The coup never stopped. End it now.
I looked at your article again after reading another one about domestic abuse. I have been the victim of domestic abuse. Narcissists play all sorts of games. The media etc are reacting exactly how the abuse article describes. Your commentary gives us another view of the interplay at the debate. People tend to blame the victim in abuse situations. What did “you” do wrong? How can “you” fix it so it doesn’t happen again? All the time no one says - this abusers shouldn’t have (in this case) been allowed to personally insult the President (what does that help the public?) or lie his ass off, or not answer the questions. Instead the media, tv doctors and other lawmakers are freaking out because President Biden is gobsmacked as this abusive lunatic is being allowed to rip into him and lie his ass off during a joke of a supposed debate.
Biden had just returned from 2 successful trips overseas dealing with foreign leaders but that didn’t mean crap to the clowns here because this KNOWN abuser is being allowed to run rampant on TV. Trump is a convicted felon. I live with an ex con because I needed protection from a particularly nasty malignant narcissistic who refused to back off and used other ex cons to harass me. But this person I am with scares the other ones. Think “Joker”. Felons don’t think like regular people. I have been studying the behavior now for years. Trump is doesn’t and will not think like a normal person. Mary Trump knows him.
Biden is normal. Trump is not.
Do we want a gangster in the Oval Office? No one is safe including his own family if they piss him off.
Well said & thank you for sharing your story Kay. Very sorry you had to go through it. Indeed almost all forms of abusers are similar forms of narcissists.
Wow! Thanks Robert. Much appreciated! I've been trying to let loose my lyricist gift & craft a bit more, & did have a similar feeling of being in that flow of channeling a good song.
Yes, I can help directly but they need to want my help & I have no time to try to convince them. Perhaps if you & others tell them they need it, they'll figure it out.
You don’t have time? I don’t buy it. Make the time, Sam. It’s that important, is it not? Contact whoever you need to make an inroad. Call, write, email. You know what to do. You know who doesn’t have time, Sam?Democracy. 🇺🇸😎
Well, let’s see. I engage with people who are not familiar with Project 2025. I then send them the entire playbook. I also direct them to where they can learn bout about the ramifications, and what it will mean if it ever is implemented. In fact it’s already primed i.e. SCOTUS. I make sure that no matter what Trump says, they know that he’s all about P2025, and knows everyone involved due to the fact that they served in his administration. That’s my main focus right now. I think P2025 is pretty VIP, right? As far as your concerned, Sam, you’re the one with the knowledge, and expertise on malignant narcissism, and your findings are even backed by top professionals in the field which you have pointed out everyone on your Substack. You would be a tremendous help to the Biden team. If not you who? 🤷🏼♂️🇺🇸😎

The one to step down should be the orange convicted felon malignant narcissist. Thank you for all of your analyses.

Great article...well, my mother is being described, too...
You’re better than her..
This is one of the best essays I've ever seen on substack.
Wow! Thanks Robert. Much appreciated! I've been trying to let loose my lyricist gift & craft a bit more, & did have a similar feeling of being in that flow of channeling a good song.
Truly brilliant article and great graphics, Sam! 💙🇺🇸💙
Thanks so much Diane! Always nice to hear one has hit the mark.
They all do, Sam, but we needed the one today there’s so much crap being slung! 💙🇺🇸💙
All true, Sam. Great read. Hey, you should work with the Biden team. They need you more than they know. 😎
I just hope they figure out how to use narc psych before it’s too late.
Help them, Sam. Com’on man. You can do this. 🇺🇸😎

WTF dude? WTF are you doing to make something happen you think is VIP?

So glad I arrived here from your comment on Robert Reich this morning. What an excellent explanation of the debate debacle. Thank you, Sam.
Thank you & most welcome.
I like the article, but I think Porkins crashed into the Death Star like 5 seconds later? 😪
Thanks Don. You’re ½ right. 100% Porkins but he never said “Stay on target.”
Correct. Poor Porkins 'had a problem' and that was that :( Yeah 'Star Wars' did nothing for me😃😀
Live long & shoot first.
Oh I forgot - a gangster with full immunity c/o the Supreme Court.
Think Saddam Hussein.
