Narcissists tend to gravitate toward Trump

[CrakHoBarbie]

A study by Union College found that Donald appeals to less-educated lower income white voters who felt left behind by a society moving toward increased diversity, religious pluralism and economic globalism. Thus, he attracts fellow narcissists. 

Building on previous research on the correlation between narcissism and ideology, the study found that individuals who scored higher in narcissism are more likely to adopt right-wing authoritarian and social dominance-oriented attitudes, which lead them to embrace socially and economically conservative policy positions. These traits are commonly associated with anti-immigration attitudes, a strong predictor of Trump support.

Can't be true. Trudeau doesn't like Trump

[Infidel Dog]

The first time I saw the term "narcissist" used in a political context it was used to describe Obama. It was used often.

I'm all the time noticing one of the key MO's identifying the Progressive Socialist (especially the type indoctrinated in university) is a need to re-use burns that were used to identify them but redirected towards the ones that hit them dead on with it.

The thing is though, it never really fits when the Prog uses it. The definition as we know it doesn't really apply, so they simply behave as if it does and another term gets corrupted.

Really? Let's google test your hypothesis.

Search for "Obama" "narcissist" 530K hits

Search for "Trump" "narcissist" 1730K hits

Trump wins your "used often" test by more than 3 to 1.

And despite your amateur opinion, MANY of those calling Trump a narcissist are HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.

But most of those calling Obama that are political pundits.

Let's see if you know what you're talking about. Without googling, post your definition of narcissist HERE.

And then cite FACTUAL examples of Obama ACTIONS which prove your thesis that he is one. k?

Yeah, how could anyone mistake Trump for a narcissist? Definitely not. 

He's the stable genius who knows politics better than the politicians and military strategy better than the generals, ready to tackle the problems that he alone can solve. We know because he told us all this in front of the biggest audiences ever, who just adore and love him, he said.

Oh, because GOOGLE says so? You are so gullible, which is also another group of defective voters that went hard for Obama.

Ummm...your gonna have a stroke, getting wound up like that.

IMO...most, if not all politicians are narcissistic.  Trump, Barry, Hilary-Billary...hell even Ol' Joe...on his lucid days...

Cool but when are you going to test MY hypothesis?

Not yours. Mine.

Mine said Obama was getting called 'narcissist' first. Not the most. First.

Now it is true nobody likes to fire off insults like a Progressive. So if that's what turns your crank...yeah...congratulations on your guys being prolific, I guess.

As to your contention the many social scientists of the progressive left add credibility - thanks for the laugh. I've seen those panels of "experts" everywhere from CBC to MSNBC. The only people dumber than those clowns are whoever's paying them. Oh, and the bonehead's watching them thinking they're learning something.

There's a ton of empirical evidence that validates the studies. Proving through peer reviewed articles that Donald is indeed a narcissist. I'm sure it's not pleasant for his cultists to face the reality about their demigod. Yet, facts are facts.

How long have you been detached from reality?

Do you know how studies are conducted...especially these days? Allow me to enlighten you a bit.

See...a person...any person actually, but usually one whose got some sort of social sciences degree...starts with a theory. A belief said person wants to prove. So...said person does a "study". In the process, they generally intake all data that supports their theory and discard that which does not. Then they find a dopey intellectual hack to publish the findings and wave it about as gospel.

This does not mean the theory is proven. It means this "researcher" was able to separate round pegs from square pegs.

What's really creepy...is that I have to explain this to you.

I just posted multiple peer reviewed articles that all present empirical evidence of trump's narcissism. Reality can be problematic, huh...

Psst...Oh thou of questionable understanding...

Nobody is refuting the idea that Trump is a narcissist.

Jeez! Boys and girls.

Some knucklehead does a Google Search using the words "Trump" and "Narcissist" and somehow it becomes a doctoral thesis?

Seriously?
