  • Yeah, so there is not really a megalomania disorder in the DSM. The DSM categorizes both narcisism and megalomania as facets of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Meaning he can have both. Megalomania is characterized by an obsession with power, the need to control and manipulate others, and delusions of grandeur. Narcisism is characterized by a lack of empathy, overinflated sense of self importance, and a need for admiration. He clearly exhibits all of those traits.

    In fact, while we’re at it, throw in antisocial personality disorder in there as well, deceitfulness, lack of regard for social norms, and impulsivity.




  • I think it’s time we stop assuming this is just simply stupidity. He’s an entertainer who’s made his public career by being a meme while at the same time being a conman. He’s been effectively toeing the line between joke and conman for decades and knows that if he plays dumb and schmoozes enough, he can do whatever he wants. We’re talking about a guy who successfully turned “You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy.” into “it’s just locker talk between guys.” a close relationship with a known human trafficker and pedofile into “he’s a terrific guy,” and proceeded to walk away from a rape case and 34 felony convictions with no penalty.

    Time and time again he’s shown exactly the kind of guy he really is, and it isn’t just a bumbling idiot. It’s a career criminal who knows exactly what he’s doing and how to be smooth enough to get away scot-free. Why would this be any different? Just because it’s on a grand scale?
