A malignant narcissist is antisocial, aggressive, sadistic, grandiose, hostile & lacks empathy for others.
Trump poured gasoline on an aggrieved population & lit a match
Trump has claimed to be the only one who can help those who feel left behind, in his efforts to obtain unthinkingly loyal enablers for his white supremacist, misogynistic, malevolent plans.
When Trump feels threatened, he lashes out in childish temper tantrums, using vile insults and authoritarian threats, usually as the cameras are rolling. His verbal assaults on elected officials, judges, jury members and ordinary citizens have resulted in his followers making death threats and committing violence against innocent people and their families, as intended by Trump.
Trump made unreasoning anger a key feature of his campaigns in 2016 and 2020. When he lost the presidential election in 2020, he urged his cult followers to attend a January 6, 2021 “Stop the Steal” rally, directly resulting in thousands of his armed followers invading the U.S. Capitol building, causing severe injuries to people and property, and the deaths of 10 people, including 5 police officers.
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist who grew up with Trump, confirms that her Uncle Donald is a “malignant narcissist.” In her second book about her uncle entitled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man”, she describes him as a fraud and a bully, and warns America that her uncle’s political ambitions must be defeated, or this may be the last chance for our representative democracy.
Trump seeks the power of the presidency to try to remake our country into an authoritarian dystopia, as well as to self-pardon his many crimes to try to stay out of prison. On Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter), he rants against anyone, by name, who has said something he did not like or whom he perceives as not bending the knee to him. His attacks encourage his dangerously loyal bullies to threaten and harass anyone he attacks as his enemy, such as:
- Trump threatens Nancy Pelosi on social media, followed by her 82 year old husband Paul’s skull being fractured by a hammer-wielding Trumpkin who broke into his home asking, “Where’s Nancy?”
- Trump verbally attacked New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s law clerk, who began receiving vile emails and threatening voicemails on her personal phone. The judge’s house was “swatted” on Christmas Day. The threats were so dangerous that the judge imposed a legal gag order on Trump.
- A court determined that Trump’s and Giuliani’s false claims of ballot stuffing caused two innocent poll workers, Rudy Freeman and her daughter, Shea Moss, to have to change their names, leave their homes and to go into witness protection, resulting in an order for Giuliani to pay $146 million in damages.
- Nikki Haley, competing with Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, criticized him on the campaign trail. In response, her parents were “swatted” when an armed team of SWAT officers, guns raised, were called to her parents’ home by a Trump supporter.
- Trump declared that he is more popular than Taylor Swift, in retribution for her successful call for her fans to register to vote. Now fans are justifiably concerned for her safety. #ProtectTaylorSwift has been trending.
Expose Greedflation. We the ‘many’ are more powerful than the ‘money’ (if we vote…)!
Trump & MAGA mega-donors are gaslighting Americans to believe price increases are due to economic issues when companies’ Greedflation is the real culprit
Inflation is not due to economic factors!
Rather, higher prices come from companies’ price gouging to increase already excessive profits
Swing State Project’s and Pew Research’s recent polls confirm that the top issue driving voter concern is the economy, especially the cost of living. An unprecedented 73% of respondents said they are willing to risk the future of our democracy with the delusion that, if re-elected, somehow Trump would snap his fingers and miraculously make gas and grocery prices cheaper. 53% of the 4,000 people in one poll said they are more concerned about how President Biden would handle inflation in a second term than they are about Trump’s extremist support for a national ban on abortion and restricting birth control.
Some consumers seem to believe that the U.S. president has direct control over the cost of goods and services. Unfortunately, the powerful MAGA disinformation channels have persuaded numerous people that this falsehood is fact!
The truth is that government regulation to ensure compliance with safety, antitrust and consumer protection laws has been severely weakened by corrupt Republicans who answer to lobbyists and their moneyed overlords. The federal government has little direct control over the prices of companies’ goods and has been hindered by Republicans from enforcing anti-monopoly laws to ensure competition among companies that would lead to lower consumer prices.
Significant government intervention is now rare. For example, the Justice Department has asserted that the Live Nation/Ticketmaster deal is an illegal monopoly over U.S. live concerts and sporting events. Due to market competition among concert promoters in France, a Taylor Swift concert ticket in France might cost the equivalent of $200. However, such a Live Nation concert ticket in Indiana could cost $2,000 or more. Some Americans are even booking air travel to Europe to attend Swift concerts and report being able to book flights for their family, secure a hotel room for a week, and buy concert tickets for less than it costs for concert tickets in the U.S.
Meanwhile, the Inflation Reduction Act obtained by President Biden and Congressional Democrats in 2022 includes $369 billion to provide energy security, fight climate change, and create clean domestic manufacturing jobs. It also lowers healthcare costs by extending Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) subsidies for 3 years, expanding vaccine coverage, and reforming prescription drug pricing. The Inflation Reduction Act also raises revenue by establishing a 15% corporate minimum tax on companies with at least $1 billion in profits. Through revenue and savings, the Inflation Reduction Act reduces the deficit by a net $305 billion dollars. By means of this historic achievement, President Biden has done more than almost any other president to cause inflation in the U.S. to trend lower.
Use this toolkit and your power as a social media influencer to help expose the real culprit in pushing consumer costs higher – Greedflation!
Watch the video in this email and listen to CEOs tell their stockholders that their “customers might gripe at first, but because they like our products, they will accept the price increases.”
