They call Trump a narcissist, but his enemies are worse

Donald Trump is constantly being accused of narcissism, as well he might be. But it’s of the traditional sort.

What really dominates campaign 2016 and is manipulating our votes is a far more pernicious variety known as moral narcissism.

What is that, you might ask?

Unlike that well-known narcissism of a Greek youth transfixed by his reflection, or the more psychoanalytic version — neurotics so obsessed with themselves they lose contact with reality — it is a social form of narcissism that pervades our culture and orders our lives to an extraordinary degree.

It is a pathology that underlies American liberalism today — and a good deal of the right as well.

I would point out that the article concedes up front that Trump is a narcissist.  Surely the GOP can do better than an Obama retread wearing orange face.

As a businessman, Trump is giving the customer what they want — and what they want is to be rid of these moral narcissists from both sides of the political aisle. In that sense, when he boasts that he’s merely leading a “movement,” he is quite literally telling the truth.

Some customers want crazy and that's what they're getting with Trump.

The rest of us, not so much.
