Malignant Narcissism

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, X suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
BY Ed Krassenstein January 30, 2019

“[X] truly has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader,” Gartner told KrassenCast. “He suffers from a personality disorder called malignant narcissism. Malignant narcissism was actually introduced by Erich Fromm, the famed psychoanalyst, who himself narrowly escaped the Nazis. Malignant narcissism was his attempt to explain the psychology of dictators like Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini.”

“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”

“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”

“They are very paranoid about their own staff,” Gartner explained in speaking about leaders with this mental disorder. “They keep purging their staff so that anyone with any independence — those people are purged — so you only have yes men and opportunists who will not defy the great leader. They don’t want to be constrained. They want to be able to act out their worst impulses and anyone who constrains them now becomes their worst enemy.”

“His reality testing is truly compromised. He’s not just bad, he’s also crazy.”
