Former President Donald Trump claimed Sidney Powell was “never” his attorney in a social media post Sunday, three days after she pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case.
It’s his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Everybody slings that term around like it’s widely applicable. It’s not. People that meet the DSM V “rules” are fairly rare. Trump knocks it out the park like no human I’ve ever heard of, let alone met IRL.
Here’s his thinking on this one:
Powell is a bad person because she betrayed me.
I don’t hire bad people, or make mistakes at all, ever, therefore she was never my attorney.
He’s not lying, he truly believes the shit he says. Mom was like this. She would say shit that was demonstrably false, did not matter, she was right. Ever known another human for 50 years and never heard them admit fault, even a tiny, tiny bit? It’s straight freaky.
There’s literally deposition in front of lawyers, in various court cases, with Trump being taped, on video, saying “well, if it feels true, then it must be true!”
One was the Trump University case where he was claiming that it was fine that people who had never even met him were saying they had been personally instructed by Donald Trump, because “if they felt that way, then it was true in a way” and therefore not fraud.
The other one was him suing a New York Times journalist who had found that Trump was really only worth somewhere between $150 and $250 million. Trump claimed that he was worth more than $2.7 billion and therefore sued for $5 billion.
In the deposition, Trump claimed his wealth fluctuated and depended on his feelings on any given day.
I have the unfortunate experience of knowing people who hit every single characteristic on the list. Lack of empathy, defensiveness, aggressive gibberish, gaslighting, lying, fragile ego, impatience, desire for attention, social media addiction, lack of appreciation, willingness to take advantage of other people while offering them nothing, envy, difficulty interacting with people normally, problems with seeing how others perceive their behavior, hidden insecurity.
Anyway, he’s such a habitual liar that it doesn’t matter to him whether he really believes something or remembers it to be true. It’s the new story and he’ll stick to it for as long as needed.
