Trump is a narcissist. Fascism is historically a direct result of narcissists getting into power.

I was married to a narcissist for 11 years. I could come up with any idea, but unless she thought of it first, she hated it. And then she’d have the exact same idea a week later and love it. I had to use that against her during our divorce to get the kids out of the house and into a proper routine somewhere safe (my parents’ place a state away) while we worked out the details of the divorce. If I had pushed for it more and not let her think it was her idea, she would have vetoed it on the spot.

As my therapist says: if you understood them, you’d be just like them.
