My perspective is different than my critics because I am inside looking out while many here are outside looking in. I often hear media talking heads say, "I can't answer that because I am not inside Trump's head." I am willing to go there, as are many psychologists and other mental health workers. Some of you have seen how a narcissist responds to criticism with extreme, vengeful behavior. Often, the truth is a narcissist's greatest enemy that demands the most retribution. The smallest slight is magnified in their mind to an immense proportion. The unrelenting obsession is extraordinary.

No matter how much they want their ass kissed, satisfaction does not follow. The concept of therapy or change is anathema to them, so do not expect a lessening of their angst and punishing behavior.
