In reply to the discussion: Stephen Miller Retreats in Humiliation After Deadly Misstep [View all]ShazzieB
(22,771 posts)39. Trump does get humiliated...although he doesn't respond to it the way most of us us would.
Anything that makes him look bad (i.e. weak) causes what's called a narcissistic injury.
A narcissistic injury is a deep emotional wound or insult experienced by a narcissist when their inflated self-image or grandiosity is threatened or exposed.
https://www.simplypsychology.org/what-is-narcissistic-injury.html
A narcissistic injury can be triggered by anything from a major event like losing the 2020 election to a petty slight most of us wouldn't even notice, and his reaction is to fly into a rage. His fragile ego won't let him admit his own mistakes even to himself, so he blames anyone else he can and attacks them savagely. Narcissistic injury is what all the insults in his Trash Social posts are about, and it's what fuels his thirst for revenge. Any time he starts going off on someone, you can bet your bootie that person has been the source of a narcissistic injury to him.
