In as much as a narcissist can use anyone else as a proxy, Trump would throw Spicer to lie for him, which resulted in Melissa McCarthy's infamous Saturday Night Live impression, presenting him as a beleaguered, short-tempered shrew, desperate to defend any of President Trump's bawdy claims in an attempt to get in his good graces.

And as sharply as I'll criticize Joe Biden in the coming months, if he is the Democratic nominee, I will work hard and vote for him — or any of the other candidates, all of whom would of course be immeasurably better than the vile narcissist in chief, who is doing so much to erode almost every critical institution of our democracy.

The narcissist is anyone and everyone — the bad boyfriend or bad girlfriend, the bad analysand ("From the perspective of Freud's emerging 'science,' if they didn't need therapy, their self-sufficiency must be a case of arrested development"), the millennial in the middle, probably no more self-involved than any other generation — which makes him a bit of a straw man.

Each group could believe those things while seeing him more or less as he is—a swinging-dick turbo-narcissist with bad taste and nothing much to say, a self-caricature drawn in red and gold crayon, a soft, dull man with a great deal invested in how other people see him but without the sticktoitiveness or basic courage to back it up.

As a person, I can't help but judge Khilji – I think he's an evil guy, and I mean the Khilji in the script; but when I am playing him, I am convinced of my reality, that I am a megalomaniac, a narcissist hell bent on world domination and I genuinely believe that I can have everything I want because I am the chosen one.

His catalog of sins has been well established: He was an ogre in real life, especially to the women closest to him; he was an ogre in his writing, especially in his unfeeling portrayal of women (again) and Africans, Indians, Muslims, Trinidadians, and other subjects of the post-colonial world; he was a reactionary, a misanthrope, and a narcissist, all of which suffused his work.

But this breezy shtick of Buchanan's, which appeals to dwindling crowds, is soon revealed to be just for show: Behind the scenes, Buchanan is a self-loathing narcissist with contempt for his audience and a love-hate relationship with acting—a character, Grant himself has admitted, that is not hugely dissimilar to the real Grant, representing a simultaneous savaging of Grant's screen and public personas.

At a time when there are legitimate dangers facing the country, including a basketball-colored narcissist seeking to strip away rights and rule the nation like a fascist, this eagerness to ignore intent and context in the name of PC hysteria is producing a new generation of punk and hardcore bands that avoid sociopolitical issues altogether and instead focus on frivolous subjects like drinking, moshing, and fashion trends.

The coronavirus has exposed the falsehood of so many notions Trump's base holds about the presidency: that experts are unnecessary; that hunches are a substitute for knowledge; that competence in administration is overrated; that every criticism is a hoax; and that everything that happens in Washington is B.S.

Simpson told his story to Judith Regan years ago, and it's now the centerpiece of the FOX special based on the book, 'If I Did It.' This clip is predictably gross ...

Now, despite what seems to be implied by my friend's choice of reading material, it would be the epitome of hackish quackery (or quackish hackery) for me to suggest that Rodriguez is a narcissist in the clinical sense—this despite centaur-based evidence in support of the proposition (and a good amount of less mythological evidence, too)—because I am not competent to diagnose him, being neither an A-Rod confidant nor a psychologist.

Speaking to Collider, Aronofsky reflected on the narcissism of the husband character: My first instinct when I first wrote it was that there would be that twist at the end, that final twist of just like, 'Oh God it doesn't end and this guy is just more and more of a narcissist and it just doesn't end,' and that would be like just another smack to the character and to the themes.

Looking ahead to the hot trash replacing him—a jowly, disingenuous narcissist who can't go one day without upping his own embarrassment threshold—it's only becoming increasingly easy to become taken by a leader who reads books and can string more than four words together, who tried to inspire people instead of rambling nonsense about his own wealth, who had a deep understanding of the problems facing the country, and who worked to serve all Americans instead of attacking them on Twitter.

But the suggestion that one cannot be a business success and also, late in life, an "onion-skinned narcissist" who refuses to admit error gives way too little credit to the fallenness of human nature and the nature and effects of moneymaking and celebrity, and ignores the long record of candidate Trump (and before that, reality-TV star and font of bad-business-ideas Trump) behaving in exactly the way that Zmirak finds so implausible, over and over and over again.

To love a narcissist you have to believe, & reader, I did— for a time, I loved him, I believed in his cruelty & beauty—buds in silver birch, sparrows scuffling in the gravel by the basketball court where I watched him play Sunday pickup— his brute musculature twisting beneath his T-shirt, the springtime itch of him—O, I believed as he shoved & dodged his way up to dunk, I believed as he spun that pebbled orange leather in his fingertips like a cartographer turning the first terrestrial globe, its oceans gathered at the poles like the curtains of a diorama, its continents warped & stretched— I believed the swish I heard was the susurrus of reeds on the bank of a blessed body of water, I believed in his first principles & precepts— & what I remember best is how the ball slipped over the lip then hung there a second— a midair moon in the shredded net.
