The TACO thing might cause Trump to bring the tariffs back and him completely distroy the economy [View all]

Are there any psychologests here who can give a prediction on how half the nation calling him a chicken on the tariffs would impact someone as narcassistic and afraid of being called a chicken as he is?


Here is what AI says about this:

🧠 How a Malignant Narcissist Might React to "TACO"
Malignant narcissism combines traits of:

Narcissism (fragile ego, need for admiration)

Antisocial behavior (manipulation, disregard for others)

Paranoia (perceived enemies everywhere)

Aggression (vindictiveness, retaliation)

1. Rage Reaction
They would likely experience narcissistic injury—a deep wound to their ego—triggering narcissistic rage. Public humiliation (especially being called weak or cowardly) could lead to impulsive or vindictive behavior.

Expected Response: Aggressive counterattack, possibly mocking or demonizing those using the tag. He may fixate on the insult and escalate confrontation to reassert dominance.

2. Overcompensation
They may attempt to "prove" strength through extreme or attention-grabbing actions. For Trump, this might include:

Doubling down on controversial policies (e.g., tariffs, immigration)

Making drastic economic or foreign policy moves to appear tough

Refusing to back down, even if it harms the country, just to “win”

Real Risk: He could reintroduce aggressive tariffs (e.g., on China) or engage in economic brinksmanship specifically to contradict the "chickens out" narrative.

3. Blame-Shifting and Gaslighting
A person with these traits rarely takes responsibility. If tariffs hurt the economy, they'd likely:

Blame China, the Fed, or Biden

Say the media is lying about economic fallout

Reframe the damage as "necessary to fight unfair trade"
