@OurShallowState The more I ponder it, the more I 'm amazed at this phenomenon and how it could happen. As you've pointed out, he's unique in that he's less intelligent than other well-known malignant narcissists. I mean his disorderedness & nitwittery are so glaring. How could people not see it?
@OurShallowState Are you sure he marvels at how gullible his followers are? I more get the feeling that he thinks their worship of him is equivalent to his greatness. I have no doubt he hates them and is disgusted by them though.
@OurShallowState@bobstelling If I'm not mistaken, that picture is from the older movie with Alec Baldwin. The recent one with Russell Crowe is good too.
@OurShallowState Fromm wrote The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness which had case studies of Hitler, Himmler, Stalin, and others. An equivalent of that book can be written with case studies of Trump and others in his administration. It would be required reading in psychology courses.

@yourauntemma@LynnMaryKarjala@gtconway3d I remember seeing a clip some years ago of Sean Hannity arguing in favor of corporal punishment. He said his father punched him in the face and that it was deserved.
Bookmark to practice any time you need to self regulate.
The vagus nerve is a bundle of nerves that goes from the brain stem to every major organ.
It regulates our autonomic nervous system.
We can access vagus nerve stimulation through our ears. Using your finger pull down with medium pressure. Then do some gentle circular motions. Repeat on both sides.
Notice how calm your entire body feels afterwards. How your thoughts are less racing. If you get the urge to yawn, or cry, or release your jawβ do it. This is your nervous system releasing sympathetic energy.
And yes, this is why q-tips feel so good.
"As we proceed on the spiritual journey, a kind of miracle occurs. We begin to erase time. Not in regression to the infantile as Freud described, but to a place inside ourselves that no longer measures life by calendars and clocks..." ~ Harry R. Moody #SundayReflection#GoodNews
It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. ~ Rollo May
The care we take to insure that our personalities are a purposefully created work of art, as opposed to an unconscious mass of impulses, determines our success or failure in the fulfilling the purpose of our lives. ~ Richard N. Potter #SundayReflection#TheArtOfPersonality
A movie quote: "You've got a gift, Roy. But it's not enough. You've got to develop yourself." Said to a boy by his father in The Natural. If I have a gift, I am still called to actualize my best self lest I be a gifted but undeveloped person. Or worse, a gifted jerk.
