Trump is unique among malignant narcissists

Yet Trump is such a loud, boorish, and obvious con, that his political rise speaks as much to our celebrity culture, our consuming of media in echo chambers, his craven enablers, and our aggrieved society.

Trump is unique among malignant narcissists in being of below average intelligence, inarticulate, and poorly read. We almost never see this. Even malignant narcissists who didn't hold political office (like Ted Bundy) had high IQ's. And "cult of personality" malignant narcissists (like Jim Jones and David Koresh), are especially literate, charismatic, and sharp. The pervasiveness and persuasiveness of cult leaders is almost always enhanced by intelligence, articulacy, clever repartee, and even wit. Yet Trump is such a loud, boorish, and obvious con, that his political rise speaks as much to our celebrity culture, our consuming of media in echo chambers, his craven enablers, and our aggrieved society. This convergence has created a phenomenon that's made too much of our electorate ... well ... I'll just be nice and call them "susceptible."

At this point, he's so flawed, so owned by his disorders, and so enfeebled, he can't even navigate the very chaos he inflicts - he can't pivot, and can't be contrite, so he gets in deeper. He's become too old, too desperate, too fearful and too unable to process his own mortification. He never had strategic thought nor an ability to play from behind. And he's a lame duck. All he has now are his cravings, a fantastical desire to reclaim grandiosity, a panicked fear of humiliation, and layers of toxicity. He's unable to satiate from incoming narcissistic nutrition, no matter how often they give him the North Korea treatment; and now Natalie has been tainted. He is flailing. He keeps making mistakes and keeps screwing up - everything, everywhere, all at once. His decline is unmistakable. His demise will be spectacular.

Trump's entire life has been to take advantage of those as dumb or dumber than he is. He is just very lucky that this dumbness does not reflect to a wallet and he has been able to grift the dumb wealthy as much as the dumb poor. MAGA has just given him an unprecedented number of marks to prey upon, with a vast number of them never realizing they were victims.
