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.

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?
As I’m sure many of you have, I’ve been thinking a lot about the electoral choice we have in 2020 with more focus over the past few days, and I keep returning to a conclusion I reached a while back, but felt was not realistic enough as a scenario to be worth expressing.
And that is that, for the good of the country and their own good, both of the major-party presidential candidates should retire.
Joe Biden has served his country honorably for over a half-century. He deserves our thanks for that, and in particular for saving our Constitution, our democracy, and the rule of law by running for president and winning in 2020.
