It’s simple. The reason why Trump loves to talk about impeachment, and why he blathers on about it more than most Dems, including Pelosi and all his 2020 opponents combined, is that it concerns what matters to him most, more than his job, and more than the country—himself. #NPD
Politically, of course, he’d be better off if he’d just shut up about it, just as he would have been far better off if he’d never fired Comey, never tried to obstruct Mueller, and never tweeted the words “Witch Hunt.” But he’s a pathological narcissist. He can’t help it.
Pelosi gets all this. She’s playing him like a drum.

“How appalling is it that Trump—an outright criminal who should have gone to jail for far more than he was convicted of—is using his official power to punish lawyers for representing innocent people he doesn't like and to deny people the very due process he's getting?”
What prompted my question was Sullivan & Cromwell LLP’s appalling involvement with Trump:
Our last @PsychoPAC24 ad is this extended video of a few of Trump’s sexual-assault victims recounting their chillingly similar experiences. It includes Stacey Williams, who spoke out just days ago. Suffice it to say, their courage is inspiring. 1/7
It’s a fitting finale, not only because their descriptions of @realDonaldTrump’s abusive behavior so crystallize his
malignant narcissism, but because history will record that in 2024 the women’s vote saved our democracy and put a woman in the Oval Office for the first time. 2/7
While I’m at it, I’d like to thank all of you who contributed to and otherwise supported @PsychoPAC24. We were one voice among many (thankfully!), but I do think we added a perspective that needed amplification. We couldn’t have done it without the millions of hard-earned dollars you so generously chipped in. 3/7
For now the 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 time since we launched @PsychoPAC24 with a video in which I explained how our object was to educate the public and the media about @realDonaldTrump’s Cluster B personality disorders (Narcissistic and Antisocial) under the DSM-5, and about how these personality disorders explain, predict, and allow us and others to trigger, his aberrant behavior, Trump has referred to himself in a rally as having a “personality defect.”
I do think we’ve given this man some psychological insight about himself. @PsychoPAC24 should send him a bill.

(The first time he used the phrase “personality defect l” was just under a month and a half ago, in Asheville.) 👉
And here’s a clip from our @PsychoPAC24 launch video, where I explain that @realDonaldTrump’s personality disorders essentially explain everything about him.
How much do you think we should charge him for his therapy sessions with us?
