The malignant narcissism of Donald Trump has been observed by many mental health professionals<\/a><\/strong> for as long as he has been a public figure. It is the central driving force of his belligerence and hostility toward anyone who is even mildly critical of him, or less than unflinchingly worshipful.<\/p>\n

Trump’s egomaniacal behavior is evident in nearly every thing he says and does. Longtime Trump watchers were aware of his self-centered maliciousness when he was posing as a Manhattan real estate mogul, when he playacted as a successful businessman while hosting a reality TV game show, and most disturbingly, during his past and current occupations of the White House. Through it all he was unable to disguise his severe cognitive infirmities.<\/p>\n

So no one should be surprised that Trump’s priorities for implementing policies are most closely associated with his personal perceptions of how reverentially he is treated by others. And just to make it crystal clear, Trump has formally announced it to the world in statement he made to the press on Wednesday morning. The decree came in his answer to a question from a reporter about whether there would be any impact on his allocation of wildfire relief in California as a result of his contentious relationship with Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump’s reply and Newsom’s response follow (video below). Trump raged that…<\/p>\n

“Yeah, maybe. The man is incompetent…Hatred is never a good thing in politics. Where you don\u2019t like somebody, you don\u2019t respect somebody, it\u2019s harder for that person to get money if you\u2019re on top.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there you have it. After rambling incoherently about “cleaning the forests,”<\/em> Trump admitted that he doesn’t care about the welfare of the American people. He doesn’t care about those who have suffered from natural disasters or other misfortunes. He will only provide assistance if he actually likes the governor or the residents of the state where those people happened to live when misfortune struck them. And if he doesn’t like them, to hell with them. To that Newsom said…<\/p>\n

“Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people…Only a truly disturbed person would threaten to withhold aid from victims because they don\u2019t like someone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people.<\/p>\n

These are families who\u2019ve lost their homes, their belongings \u2014 the irreplaceable pieces of a life built over decades, reduced to ash. <\/p>\n
