Foreword

Many are confused by President’s Trump erratic, ever-changing behaviour. I believe I understand his confusing behaviour very well. This is not because I know a lot, but because I had the same experience with another very similar narcissistic American, a ‘Trumpian’. He too was entrusted with an absurd title, though in his case he had a tiny amount of power, but he certainly suffered from exactly the same pathology of being spoilt by a parent.

Narcissism

First of all, we see that Trump is a narcissist. This is obvious – he lives in a bubble of vanity created by his father and preens and admires himself. His narcissism comes from the fact that he is a spoilt child. Spoilt children are always delusional narcissists. Hence his self-centred infantilism and tantrums, lashing out at others when he does not get what he wants. Spoilt children who are denied anything they want throw things out of their pushchair, threatening those who deny them what they want, blackmailing and bullying parents and others with ever more violent and noisy tantrums. Hence Trump’s threats of sanctions and tariffs, which are precisely the actions of a spoilt child. He finds issuing sanctions and tariffs ‘liberating’. For a spoilt child, revenge is indeed liberating.

The Weak Parent

If the parent is weak, then he will receive absolutely no respect and be subject to spectacular rudeness, tyranny and slander from the spoilt child. The spoilt brat demands total loyalty and total personal obedience because of his sense of entitlement and enablement. After all, he is the centre of the universe and must always be at the centre of attention, including at the centre of media attention. In other words, they demand exclusivity: ‘I am not like others, I am special and superior’. In the Trump case, this is clear, in the case of the other also, as he controlled ‘an exclusive church’. Jealousy rules these self-centred individuals and they feel obliged to try and destroy any possible rivals.

The Strong Parent

However, if the parent is strong and stands up to the emotional blackmail of the spoilt brat, the latter’s threats will turn into empty bluffs, his egomaniac bubble will burst. For the power of narcissists is only the power given to them by those who fawn on them and call them ‘Daddy’ or ‘Master’. Without the submissive fawning of the weak, they have nothing. Spoilt brats are extremely surprised and hurt when others refuse to fawn on them, to flatter their delusions, incompetence and ignorance, and turn away from them as a matter of conscience and integrity. ‘Conscience and integrity’ are words which spoilt brats do not understand. The spoilt brats’ surprise comes from the fact that they think that they are the centre of interest and that therefore there is no alternative to them.

Alternatives to the Spoilt Child Syndrome

Turning away from the spoilt brat is what Prime Minister Carney of Canada has done and now the Europeans too, as they kow-tow to China, a country which only a few weeks ago they were spitting at. There are alternatives. In our case, ‘the Pope’ (which is what his nickname in Europe is, since he proclaims his infallibility) did not think that there are other Orthodox Churches, far greater and far more powerful than his minute cultish sect of 19 little groups which he rules. Normal people walk away from spoilt brat bullying. Only the weak and sycophantic, like those whom Trump and the other one have surrounded themselves with, remain.

Backing Down

When Trump, or the other one, see people standing up to them, they first react badly and escalate against those who have resisted them, accusing them of ‘betrayal’ or ‘conspiring against them personally’. How can anyone resist them? They are always right and so refuse to accept that they have been mistaken. For that reason they can never take responsibility for their crass errors. There are no conspiracies against the Trumpians, just masses of people who have seen through their nonsense at the same time. Indeed, if you refuse to be bullied, blackmailed, intimidated and ignore their personal threats, they will back down, suddenly forgetting the claims they made and what they did yesterday.

Violence and Selective Amnesia

Their ‘amnesia’ includes forgetting their threats of physical violence towards other far more senior to them who have protected those they persecuted. And their behaviour then easily becomes thuggish, gangsterish, like that of mafiosi. This amnesia is not dementia, it is pathological denial – ‘it never happened’, ‘I never said that’, ‘you misunderstood me’. In their denial, they invent false narratives to justify their lies and refusal to take responsibility for them. Thus, Trump invents phone-calls with world leaders and invents peace ‘agreements’ or simply conversations which never took place. Only the foolish believe their lies. Sadly, there are foolish people who believe both the Great Dictator and the little one.

History Remembers

Whatever their denials of their lies and slanders, the rest of the world remembers them only too well. History does not forget. These narcissistic spoilt children always bully and betray and then are surprised when nobody trusts them any more. All they do is hasten the development of rivals, which soon become much more powerful than they are. This is how recent US Presidents have created a profound alliance between Russia, China and Iran, speeded up BRICS and the alternative to the dollar. In the Church context, his self-destructive persecutions of the faithful accelerate the development of other Churches, thus destroying his own tiny church.

Afterword

The consequences of spoilt child syndrome are always self-destructive. Thus, Trump is literally destroying the USA, both its industry, and in the ignoring of the Congress and Senate, and in the use of his murderous Gestapo ICE police. He does not want to ‘make America great again’ (the word ‘again’ is an admission that America is no longer great), he wants to make Trump great again. Similarly, in the other case, he is destroying church life and discrediting in ignominy his little group, which through his incompetence he is reducing to a weird sect. Elsewhere it is very troubled by homosexuality and pedophilia.
