For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The point isn't that he thinks he's wrong, but that the things he's done are things that he knows are wrong. He just believes he has some special right to do these things anyways.
Nah, you walked past my point. Trump's brain literally can't conceive that he's wrong, can't know he's wrong.
It's all so much more horrifying than people are making it out. People like you are putting themselves in his shoes and trying to think it out. His brain doesn't work that way.
That's his brain's way of telling him he was never wrong to begin with.
Let me rephrase it, because despite my explaining it, you still haven't understood.
Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of his wallet without his permission? Obviously yes. Would Trump think you broke the law if you took all of the money out of another person's wallet without their permission? Probably yes. He understands the concept that stealing money is wrong. He just wouldn't think it's wrong if he took all of the money out of your wallet.
I've been incredibly consistent in the way I've described this. Trump knows that the type of actions he's performing are wrong. He just doesn't believe they're wrong when he's performing them.
It’s early hard to explain your point to someone that hasn’t recovered from narcissistic abuse. Even those in the thick of it, you can tell them what’s happening, they can intellectually understand, but they inevitably try to relate and discover excuses or reasons which completely misses the point of how someone that truly has NPD is wired. It’s really a shame and I wish I had a good answer. Their are tons of articles and videos from experts that accurately and intellectually describe what you are attempting to explain but the point you are trying to drive home, which you are accurately and concisely stating, never seems to really sink in for folks in my experience.
