Triggering a Narcissist
Part II - We know it’s all about him, not about you.
In Part I, we began reviewing how superhero for justice Dark Kamala impressively proved her Alpha, strategy and psychological mastery by being able to trigger an orange chaos beast at will, under the most intense pressure, on perhaps the biggest political stage in human history.
A surprising source was also found to have provided a useful Counter-Narcissist mnemonic device. By hearing Kamala’s debate performance accurately described as psychological jiu-jitsu, this martial art is a helpful way to conceptualize what is normally the most effective and self-protective way to trigger a narcissist, using their own force against them.
Indeed by using trump’s insecurities against him and him being incapable of stopping himself from taking the bait, his mask dropped and he was exposed. Additionally, by not being able to land a single blow on her, it should be clear to all that only one person at the most consequential debate in human history showed themselves to be Presidential, while the other was revealed by just a few of his most obvious triggers as a raving lunatic.
What may be most horrifying of all about the truth of the debate is how many Americans still think electing this malignant narcissist/sociopath as President is their best, or even a safe move.
Imagine the level of Dunning Kruger denial, cult-like programming and/or narcissistic evil it takes to want such an UNFIT person for anything more than the padded room or prison cell they have spent a lifetime morally, legally, ethically and karmically earning.
Baiting the narcissist
Certainly from a CNI perspective, the strategy should be to show trump for the crazy, megalomaniacal coward that he is in the courtroom of public opinion by baiting him. Thankfully Team Kamala saw the same thing and went subtly straight for trump’s psychological jugular a few times, including an easily triggering reminder that he lost the last election.
His loss is obviously exceedingly painful to him because he has spent the years since denying that he lost. The truth is as a pathological narcissist, his psyche can’t handle the smallest defeat, so such a massive rejection requires endless denial. That is why anyone who isn’t 110% certain that he will challenge the result of anything that doesn’t go his way, let alone losing the Presidency again, is revealing they don’t understand the psychology of a grandiose narcissist.
The word “processing” also seems to be highly targeted and psychologically damaging to trump because malignant narcissist-types normally cannot distinguish between their fantasies and reality. This means that while he sort of knows he lost, it is almost impossible for him to admit it to himself. Indeed his fragile ego is the main reason he cannot admit he lost in 2020 and has never been able to “process” losing or being at fault for anything, ever.
Kicking trump in the “crowd size” cuts deep
The other main jugular Dark Kamala effectively sliced and diced was his fragility over his crowd sizes, and how maga folks are now getting bored and leaving his rallies early. These are certainly truths that trump was never going to be able to psychologically handle or process, which is of course why he loses his mind when he is reminded of it.
Ergo, to the surprise of no one outside of his cult, the bait that got him to lash out with the most narcissistic rage was when Dark Kamala suggested people go check out his small, impotent and boring rallies. He was so upset that it triggered him into lying about his diminishing rallies and calling her huge cultural events, “fake.”
Certainly as per his tweets, trump had previously revealed to Team Kamala how insecure her crowd sizes made him when he started claiming her very enthusiastic events were nothing but AI generated, which was almost as big and obvious of a lie as trump claiming everyone in America wanted a “woman’s right to choose” overturned, when it wasn’t even close to a majority who wanted to take away women’s rights.
His delusional jealousy of her star power has already become something he is ridiculed for in the reality-based world and by her campaign, but we are at the stage where it is time to push all of his buttons all the way to the end, because the more he reveals his true scorpion nature on the biggest stages, the more rational people who have been fooled with grooming, poor education and/or propaganda will see some light about who this monster really is.
Point being, it has been clear since 2016 that trump is “weirdly” obsessed and insecure about crowd size, and has been insanely jealous of Kamala’s crowds and excitement for her. This truth reveals that even a subtle mention of size or maga boredom is just the kind of bait a weird and insecure fool such as trump will never be able to resist taking. When a narcissist is triggered like this, they will almost certainly due to compulsion lash out with insanities, just as trump did during the debate. Indeed compulsion is how trump was triggered into letting his “mask of sanity” slip again and again.
Yep, it was being baited about his crowd size that got him to keep lashing out with ridiculous, racist, and disgusting lies and conspiracy theories, such as his whopper of a lie accusing the hard-working Haitian community in Ohio of stealing and eating the residents’ pets.
Side Note: What the majority of observers seemed most surprised by was that trump had no defense for taking Kamala’s bait. This is interesting because while CNI philosophy certainly had triggering trump as the means to get his public mask to slip, it is always helpful to know specifics of where the general population’s knowledge gaps are in their psychological self-defense, so we can work to fortify them.
Malignant narcissists and other dark forces by definition flow to and target every human weakness, so the more a weakness is known in civil society, the more likely it will be recognized as a gap in our defenses that desperately needs closing.
Clearly by leaving our narcissistic psychological defenses weak for decades, we are unbelievably close to becoming ruled by a demented sociopathic madman’s fascist dictatorship. These gaps in our defenses are currently the CNI priorities. If this is your priority too, please consider helping to fund the effort if you are able.
Be prepared for a lashing out with lies, insanities and flying monkeys when a narcissist is triggered
What a surprise trump’s campaign knew this pet story in Ohio was debunked by all the serious Republicans there, and yet its reflexive use by the orange chaos beast as a lashing out deflection was so obviously insane that it was one of the four times the moderators fact-checked trump, and explained to him how it was false. To the surprise of no one, he didn’t take it well.
Of course the feckless fact-less trump is still whining about how being fact-checked was unfair to him, and says Kamala not being checked meant the debate was rigged against him. As most point out, she didn’t need to be because she wasn’t lying throughout the debate.
Remember, this pet story was falsely perpetuated by a puppet online troll that Don Jr, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel control and convinced trump he should take over the maga baton, if the 78-year-old malignant narcissist with obvious signs of dementia becomes “incapacitated,” or the richest man in the world bribes enough of trump’s cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. In a sad irony, it will have the benefit of being true with trump already being psychologically unfit for anything beyond, “old man yells at a cloud.”
The Alpha
Thankfully, Kamala made it easy for most rational people to see who was the true Alpha in the debate and who was the whining, fear-mongering, terrified Beta, as she surgically took the narcissist apart bit by bit, via his triggers.
The best part was she showed she is a fierce, human and joyful Alpha, as she repeatedly had fun baiting him while he became more and more agitated, because he couldn’t resist taking the bait each and every time. It became so obvious that any reality-based life form should be able to review the highlights to see she was the calm Alpha who kept triggering the weak narcissist beta with the subtlety and ease of a psychological Jiu-jitsu master.
Additionally, her facial reactions to his insane ramblings have been reviewed as close to pitch perfect. In hindsight, she was reacting to his nonsense in a way the large majority of the commentators and audience agreed with. i.e. Her facial expressions well represented how most responded to his lunacy and meltdowns.
To top it off, her united, positive, pro-America message was also something all reasonable Americans want to have in their hearts. Was it perfect, no but it felt real, which was refreshing because that is something trump and the Republican Party are incapable of doing for honest and aware reality-based Americans anymore.
Why trump is always trying to terrify everyone
As with virtually everything else trump, fascist or nazi, it is always about creating FEAR, because when people are afraid, the logic part of their brains turn off, and they go into lizard brain mode. Aka trump’s constant state of mind and that of his ideal voter/cult member, because lizard brain mode is how vulnerable people can be easily gaslit down the false path of thinking a fake strongman will provide them with security, when in reality they are the cause and/or manipulator of fears.
Baiting the Beta Narcissist
Amazingly, Kamala has proved she is made stronger than steel by not once taking any toxic bait trump has thrown at her since she entered the race. She also showed she studies and prepares well because she clearly did the work and wisely went into the debate with a plan to trigger the pathological narcissist with things he could not resist.
Indeed it was also glorious to see a long-suggested CNI strategy be so skillfully and effectively implemented, thus proving the philosophy correct once again.
However, can anyone honestly say trump has ever shown he studies or prepares well. As in the debate, we have seen trump’s solution to almost every challenge is to double down and turn up his volume from unhinged to completely unhinged.
Indeed many spoke of trump not preparing for the debate and many other things that normal humans prepare for, but I haven’t seen any evidence since he arrived on the scene in 2015 that shows he has any attention span beyond that of a gnat. For those who don’t remember, Rupert Murdoch sent fellow disgraced sexual abuser / Fox News boss and designer Roger Ailes over to prep trump back in 2016 at trump tower.
As the story goes, Ailes quickly gave up because he couldn’t get trump to listen to or focus on anything he said, so if trump was not interested in prepping with or listening to a fellow sociopathic predator he respected like Ailes for debate prep eight years ago, there is zero chance he will listen to any of his rational strategic advisors this time either, which not coincidentally is exactly the same way he plans to rule America.
There’s a reason neither trump nor his people want a second debate.
Jedi mind tricked again
Dark Kamala Jedi mind tricked trump again into showing his cowardice and fear of her by immediately calling for a second debate, when it may very well have been the case that she didn’t want to do another after a near perfect performance.
No doubt she would be fine doing another debate with trump after he proved so easy to trigger, so the taunt was pretty much win-win for her and lose-lose for him, no matter what he does or doesn’t do.
At least subconsciously, he knows he wants no part of Dark Kamala exposing him again, but it will also be very hard for his ego to resist another if she keeps taunting him at rallies with, “say it to my face,” so I would rate the possibility of another debate at slightly better than 50/50.
The bully gets more time, or did he?
On another interesting note, trump did manage to bully his way into getting a lot more airtime than Kamala but that may have been her plan. According to NBC news, she spoke 15 times for 22.6 minutes and trump spoke 26 times for 28.6 minutes. According to Politico, trump got the last word on every topic. The reason CNI suspects that may have been Dark Kamala’s plan is because it fits perfectly with the masterful liberal plot of letting Republicans reveal themselves with their own words.
The Aftermath
While it was clear trump’s darkness fueled his anger and hate, Kamala’s darkness was used to joyfully fight for the light by prosecuting the rage-monster’s mouth toxicity with the precise scalpel of a brain surgeon.
Kamala even went so dark as to steal his use of Hannibal Lecter from him by bringing him up first. For those who don’t know, one of trump’s favorite and weirdest regular rally bits is to talk about what a “great guy,” the most famous movie serial killer, Hannibal “the cannibal” Lecter is. He then goes on to claim mass amounts of Hannibal Lecters are streaming across America’s Southern border to kill everyone, which is just more of his ridiculously extreme racism, gaslighting and fear-mongering at play.
Ironically, despite the narcissist predictably claiming victory no matter how bad everyone says he lost, trump wants ABC’s moderators fired and the network to lose their broadcasting license for how they treated him. What a psychologically disturbed whiner!
Also, this fascist tool at the Federalist says ABC should lose its license and many should go to prison. It is both telling and disgusting how once “serious” “conservative” publications are openly anti-American in shilling for trump.
The key question America will need to answer if we can save our democracy from the rule of a mad king in November, is what we need to do to help such a large percentage of Americans leave their narcissistically groomed views and propagandized beliefs that the orange chaos beast is a sane, rational or even serious man.
Seriously, ask yourself what kind of psyche does it take to believe that a 78-year-old narcissist with clear signs of dementia has the mental fitness to be President if he can’t even resist taking obvious bait, every single time.

For those unfamiliar with how the think tank’s library is designed to function, it is important not to think of CNI in a traditional publication sense. What is labeled as “archive” is a mostly free r…
His insanity is not important, we all recognize it. But he and his wealthy backers are going to go pedal-to-the-metal to find a way to throw the election to the House where it can be stolen legally. That means we need a huge win in every place we can. No weak-livered responses allowed.
My favorite meme was that Kamala kept flicking the laser pointer of light and like a befuddled cat Trump kept pouncing on it everywhere, only better worded than I have.
