Trump Finally Tells the Truth and Admits That He’s a Narcissist, ‘I Have a Bad Trait’

If there’s one thing that most people know about former President Donald Trump, it’s that he’s a narcissist of the highest order. He’s constantly boasting about himself. We often see clips of him waving to his “huge” (yet largely non-existent) audiences. If he’s not encouraging people to fawn all over him, then he’s bullying someone. He’s such a narcissist, in fact, that during his rally last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, he flatly stated that he only likes people who like him.

As the former president was speechifying about this, folks on X felt compelled to tell him just how they felt, Ok!Magazine reports.

During his appearance in Georgia, Trump had this to say, according to one X user, who noted:

“‘Bruce Springsteen. I am not a huge fan. I have a bad trait. I only like people who like me. Does that make sense?โ€™โ€

X users didn’t fail to lambaste the 2024 Republican candidate, letting him know just how selfish he truly is.

โ€œI have a bad trait: I fit the definition of a narcissist. Is that bad?โ€ one person said, obviously mocking him. Another echoed, โ€œYeah. Narcissistic people are usually like that.โ€

A third person quipped, โ€œNo s—. Trump doesnโ€™t endorse conservatives based on policy โ€” they just have to say nice things about him,โ€ while a fourth added, โ€œOnly one bad trait? It’s more like he has a copious amount of them.โ€

Trump is known to lie about the size of the crowds that attend his rallies, and of course, most of us know he also tried to embroider the size of the crowd that attended his 2017 inauguration. Stories have surfaced that show him claiming he was waving to supporters when he actually wasn’t waving to anyone.

The former president has been sharing clips of himself stepping off his jet to greet his “fans” but one intrepid user on X revealed Trump’s actual view while he was exiting the plane.

โ€œThe first half of this clip is Trump doing his usual ritual where he is filmed supposedly waving to an adoring crowd coming to see him off last night. The second half I zoom in to show what heโ€™s waving at. Fake, phony, staged nonsense,โ€ they wrote alongside a video of Trump standing at the airplane door, waving to only airport employees.

That ignited fury among X users.

โ€œLike a toddler waving to any passerby,โ€ one person quipped. Another added, โ€œWaving at invisible crowds is the new trend. Iโ€™m going to start doing that too.โ€

โ€œSo pathetic. And weird as f—!โ€ a third noted, while a fourth said, โ€œWhat an embarrassment. He might as well be waving to Melania [Trump]. She doesn’t care either.โ€

I concur here. I believe Trump is the most embarrassing president the country has ever had. He’s shamed the U.S. on the world stage. He is almost certainly the dumbest person to helm the world’s most important job and since Melania is European, she more than likely wants nothing to do with him.

Trump can belittle Joe Biden all he wants, but we’ve finally had four years of a president who is actually intelligent and it’s been a relief. There’s been no nastiness coming from this administration โ€” unlike Trump’s time in office when the hateful vitriol sometimes seemed unending. And the good news here is Kamala Harris, his Democratic presidential rival is rapidly catching up to him in terms of polls and gaining delegates. NPR reports she’s reshaping the electorate in key swing states as well. Harris, a relatively young 59, is refocusing the criticism of Biden’s age to Trump’s, especially after he continues to make gaffe after gaffe, leading many people to believe he has dementia.

I’m sure Trump didn’t see that coming but after all his cruel remarks about “sleepy Joe” Biden, it’s quite refreshing. When people call Trump a narcissist they aren’t wrong. He may be the most narcissistic president in U.S. history.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I’m including Trump’s comment below and several funny responses from X users. Enjoy!
