Donald Trump doesn’t easily forgive or forget.

As Trump’s Republican allies in the United States Congress block military aid that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv desperately needs to avoid defeat in its war with invading Russian forces, it’s clear the former U.S. president’s ill will toward Ukraine has deep roots.

It was, after all, a phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump’s first impeachment in December 2019, after he was accused of seeking to influence the 2020 election by leaning on the Ukrainian leader to investigate current President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

    Using mental illness as a weapon as you did, is using it as a slur. You said it met the text book definition and it doesn’t. As a psychiatrist, people with mental illness suffer enough stigma that people don’t need to spread misinformation on the topic. And there you go trying to diagnose people without any training again even though people with training are not allowed to do that as it’s an ethical violation. Just say he’s a narcissist in laymen’s terms. Stop trying to diagnose people were you are not qualified or weaponize mental illness.

      It’s interesting that you keep putting words in my mouth and moving the goalpost back to where it actually started in this thread. I did not say “According to the DSM”, nor did I say anything about NPD or “cluster B”. I said he’s a textbook narcissist, which is true in layman’s terms.

      You’re characterizing things as “slurs” and “weaponizing”, which is a textbook disinformation and confusion tactic, so good day to you doctor.

        The funny thing is you didn’t even say THAT. You said these are “textbook symptoms of a textbook narcissist.” You didn’t even say he was one, just that he displays symptoms of one.

        Then what text book are you talking about? Did you mean the dictionary? Yes, dictionary wise he’s a narcissist.

        Text book no.
