    I am not one to diagnose an actual disorder, but it really is scary when you combine Trump's impulsiveness with his unwillingness to admit a mistake. That is a recipe for disaster.

    I will concede it is certainly not a positive.

  6. Trump has no regrets about ‘human scum’ swipe at opponents

    President Donald Trump does not regret calling “Never Trump” Republicans “human scum,” according to White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.

    In fact, Republicans who won’t pledge their loyalty to Trump “deserve strong language like that,” Grisham declared.

  7. It's just like what he was saying to the Mexican President . . . . .

    ''I don't care about a wall , the wall is the last thing on my mind , but you cannot tell that to the press. It will make me look bad , just don't say you will not pay for the wall.''

    He does not care about the wall, at least until it starts to give him significant "narcissistic supply", then he would divert funds from premature babies to paint it.

    Narcissists have followers who give them power, you can't change a narcissist but you can interfere with his minions (somewhat).

    The toxic triangle: Destructive leaders, susceptible followers, and conducive environments
    http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.322.4077&rep=rep1&type=pdf

    From another article referencing above:
    The second dimension of the toxic triangle requires susceptible followers to feed the destructive leaders’ ego. Susceptible followers fall into two groups: conformers and colluders. Conformers follow and support the destructive leader out of fear and acquiesce in an effort to protect themselves from their leader’s most destructive impulses. On the other hand, colluders share similar values and beliefs espoused by the destructive leader.

    Two further sub groupings for colluders are acolytes and opportunists. Acolytes are "true believers" to the cause. They don't see their leader as destructive or toxic, but as a someone delivering on a promise. The relationship between the destructive leader and acolytes works as long as they place a priority on serving their needs.

    The opportunists are a different animal. Opportunists give the impression that they share the same values and beliefs. Publicly, they will advocate for the destructive leader and will support and defends his/her position if called to do so. However, opportunists are politically savvy. They will play the game as long as there is a financial or promotional opportunity by doing so.

    Most Trumper ETers like to see themselves are opportunists but there is more acolyte in them than that want to admit. Well except LacesOut who has embraced his role :)

    Table 1 Five features of destructive leadership
    1.
    Destructive leadership is seldom absolutely or entirely destructive: there are both good and bad results in most leadership situations.

    2. The process of destructive leadership involves dominance, coercion, and manipulation rather than influence, persuasion, and commitment.

    3. The process of destructive leadership has a selfish orientation; it is focused more on the leader's needs than the needs of the larger social group.

    4. The effects of destructive leadership are outcomes that compromise the quality of life for constituents and detract from the organization's main purposes.

    5. Destructive organizational outcomes are not exclusively the result of destructive leaders, but are also products of susceptible followers and conducive environments.
