There’s a difference between having narcissistic traits or qualities and being a narcissist as a character disorder. It’s complicated, but let’s just say the latter is far more extreme.

Obama and Trump both, IMHO, most likely have the character disorder of narcissism. The other presidents you mention were merely narcissistic.

I am quite well aware of the first issue – the difference between terms. (I did use them sloppily ABOVE – but deliberately in order to be informal and nontechnical.)

Since the second question elevates the issue to a more technical level, I have to ask: and you don’t think Bill Clinton qualifies for being put into the same company of Obama and Trump?

REALLY?

If you do, perhaps you ought to recaquaint yourself with some of the compulsive and sordid behaviors many books have unearthed about “Bill?”

About pre-24/7 and cable TV presidencies, do a google search of
“robert caro lbj narcissist”

I get nearly 41,000 hits, and (although I didn’t go deeper or more systematically) enough “narcissist personality” on the first page to refresh my memory that the label for Johnson is fair.

LBJ surely qualifies.

I haven’t dipped into RMN bios in a long while, but I think you get the idea about quickly testing your claimed division on the presidents…YMMV!

I generally concluded, same as others have, that it takes an entirely new generation, one that wasn’t steeped in Leftist victimhood and rape trauma or homo trauma or x trauma, to grow independent of the Left’s control and then once they begin hating the Left, the problem can take care of itself.

But most people didn’t see where that generation could be, except from the future after they retake the Institutions.

But I looked at it from another method. Which organizations are effective in fighting the Left and how many of those members were 15 years old, 5 years ago? How many were 20 years old, 10 years ago?

In 10 years, which is more than long enough to cover Bush II to Hussein O, how many 15 year olds would have become adults on the net? How many 10 year olds would have grown up with the internet as their primary social circle or secondary social circle?

There is a generational process at effect, one that runs parallel to home schooling or public schools. And the worst the public schools become, the more child rapists and rapists and crims they invite in, the more people escape to some cyber community for asylum.

Thing is there were big bonuses at year end, fancy outings, helicopters, shiny cars and so on…

Nowadays it’s the yakkers and takers punishing the makers…

all that glitters is not gold – William Shakespeare

“God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.”

Shiite militias battling ISIS in Iraq aren’t getting the kind of logistical support they need from Washington and so they have begun attaching Russian guns to Abrams tanks and firing Iran-stamped ammo.

i guess the post office has the ammo
(actually not as theirs is legal to use on citizens, but illegal to use in war)

how many billionaire buffoons are there? does the term actually fit someone who has succeeded that way? if you think its money, then why havent ANY lottery winners cracked the billion mark with their big lump sum payments?

then there is even dumber stuff like this

GOP presidential candidate and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham says that he can do a far better job on the world stage than President Barack Obama. “Anybody who rides around on a horse without their shirt — I can HANDLE [emphasis added] that guy,” Graham said

see? akll about the surface…
not about substance.
buffoon is not substance
shirt wearing is not substance.

though i can bet that if putin and graham were put in a gym, graham would be crying in less than 15 seconds of the word go.

and underestimating KGB is not soeone you want in the presidents office… they have murdered more people than anyone, and almost NONE escaped…

Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it. Unfortunately, I can’t use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own man’s chances. Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s turn to get, well, ratfreaked. A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire – self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation – popped up to…

Kennedy and Johnson together served two terms, not three.
Kennedy – 1961-63
Johnson – 1963-68

how is that so if it dont work on them?

not to mention that the propaganda also has nothing actually bad to clip him with. not one incident in his whole life is bad enough to smear him with. women? he hires and pays them well… hair? yeah, thats the ticket… acts like a buffoon… yeah, after biden, how can you tell? not to mention that that is just a leftist slur from propaganda… havent you gotten tired of the weak willed yet?

when a person is dominant and you dont like them, they are arrogant, when they are dominant and you do, they are something positive.

its so funny…
that even the anti communists want communism
and they cant see themselves in the mirror

the republic is over…
there is no chance for it any more.
but i said that 10 years ago, and was lambasted that i was being too negative… well, no one said who you get to vote for is perfect (other than the left)..

but all you get to have to choose from is trump vs communist clintons (see bills schooling in russia, see hillaries wesleyan papers)…

and yet, you will help destroy your only chance…
dont remember that the same things you guys are saying about trump, they said about reagan. a buffoon, funny hair, etc.

you dont want it to be better…
what then would you talk about?
how would you self pleasure with armchair pomposity masquerading as erudition?
