Donald Trumpās debate performance was far worse than even his inner circle anticipated.
While Donald Trumpās team is publicly pushing a postdebate victory lap, many in his camp were privately disappointed in the Republican candidateās performance on Tuesday.
CNNās Kaitlan CollinsĀ reportedĀ Wednesday night that several Trump insiders were āstunnedā by his poor performance and byĀ just how easily he fellĀ for all of Kamala HarrisāsĀ attempts to provoke him.
āIām told that as soon as Donald Trump exited that debate stage, he immediately began quizzing those waiting in his viewing room about how the last 90 minutes had gone,ā said Collins. āWhile several people praised him to his face, telling him they did a great job, thatās not what a lot of them are saying privately today.
ā¦
Apparently, all that practice with members of his team, such as former Hawaii RepresentativeĀ Tulsi Gabbard, had ultimately amounted to very little when it came time to debate.
Spot on. Iāve read 10,000 comments regarding Trump that miss the most basic aspect of the man: Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Everything he says or does flows from this.
I donāt mean narcissist in the way most people sling the word around, I mean the actual mental illness. People slap that title on anyone selfish, lying or bullying. No, words have meaning.
No he doesnāt have any sort of internal reflection. My mother suffered NPD, I can tell you all about it. She didnāt have the mental space to consider, āAm I wrong?ā. Such thoughts were literally impossible, her brain could not work that way. In the 50-years I knew that woman I never heard her admit fault or apologize. Not once. Thatās pretty stunning if you think on it a few. And Trump makes mom look positively of sound mind!
Nothing the man says or does surprises me, yet people continue to be appalled. We keep trying view his thought processes through the lens of our own. Nah. That dog donāt hunt.
Nmom kid here too, youāre spot on. Itās actually fascinating if you forget the horrors. Like for example no empathy, and not like very very very low (hi dad!) empathy, but totally devoid of it. Just ācannot computeā level.
Hope youāre doing fine btw!
I agree. Nmom kid here. I thought she didnāt have a concept of ātruthā. To her, every statement was equally valid as long as it was useful to her. Just complete and total lack of a consistent worldview.
