This psychologist validates all your points over the the years, Mary:This post is from a Swedish psychologist, Wirsen Psykologi. I couldn’t help but share his words about yesterday’s meeting between Zelensky and Trump. It is very import to understand this
Today it became painfully obvious how a narcissistic power play and psychopathy looks when Trump openly humbled Zelensky in the Oval Office. He called Zelenskyj “disrespectful” in front of accredited journalists from around the world, questioned his loyalty and insinuated that he didn’t need US support. As if this wasn’t enough he warned that Zelensky could start WW3 - a classical psychopathic move where threats are used for control. This wasn’t just a show of bad diplomacy - it was a narcissistic and psychopathic show of power.
Grandiose self-image and the need for submission.
- Trump expected Zlenskyj to show thankfulness and admiration. He punished him publicly when that did not happen. People with narcissistic personality disorder cannot handle their self-image questioned and use humiliation as a defense.
Manipulation and threats
- To blame somebody for a potential catastrophe is a classical psychopathic tactic. By saying that Zelenskyj “is playing with WW3” he blames him while insinuating that he(Trump) is he only one who can prevent the catastrophe.
Power exercised by impulsivity and emotion.
When Trump felt challenged by Zelenskyj, he suddenly interrupted the meeting. A stable and strategic leader would have handled the situation diplomatically, but a person with psychopathic disorder will react instinctively because he's feeling loss of control.
But why did he do this in front of the press? This is the reason that narcissists and psychopaths love to show off their power. He sends a signal - not just to Zelenskyj but to all leaders and people by humiliating Zelenskyj in front of the world: “I’m in charge and whoever doesn’t obey will be crushed”.
What we saw today wasn’t just a president who behaved inappropriately. It was a textbook example of how narcissist and psychopath leaders use humiliation, threats and manipulation to claim their power. And like in ruinous relationships it’s never about building, but about control. And what about the mineral deal? How about Tesla? Narcissists, dictators and psychopaths scratch each other’s backs in unholy alliances.
Trump can no longer claim to be the leader of the free world. His actions today place him not as a democratic statesman, but one of history’s dictators. A real leader builds alliances through respect and diplomacy. We should not close our eyes to the difference. We did not see a president today but rather a despot in real time.
