i have actually been to slovenia. The people I met did not seem culturally very different from those in northern italy or even bavaria. imo slovenians have more in common with alpine people than 80s movie villain east europeans.

Which is hilarious, given that this is the President who has embraced the alt-right, wants everyone to “speak American” [English], and is happily torpedoing our relationships with other nations.

this article is shallowly written with no depth or nuance to it.

I was in an abusivd relationship and while I don’t think he had NPD (and I absolutely think Drumpf has it) gaslighting was the way I was trapped in it. Seeing Trump employ the same gaslighting bullshit in every one of his speeches has been triggering my anxiety so much over the past year. So I may be projecting, but I…

I completely agree with you, and this article is shallowly written with no depth or nuance to it. But so many people don’t really have any idea of what gas lighting does to the victim, how insidious it is, how invested the victim becomes in maintaining the relationship, and the learned helplessness that is a major…

How gross are you all going to feel if it comes out later that she was being abused? We don’t know what’s happening sure, but a lot of women who have survived hideous abuse are seeing similar signs in her. I’m not going to discount that outright. Even actively shitty people don’t deserve intimate partner abuse.

As the ex-wife and daughter of a narcissist, this, more than anything, tells me she is in NPD hell. I haven’t seen this opinion anywhere, so I’m probably alone with this idea, but I dropped my jaw when I found out that was her platform. It resonates so strongly with what I was and what I did during the marriage.

I don’t see people slut shaming her as much as using her as an example of Republican hypocrisy.

Yep, my mother has NPD and we are estranged. Watching Trump gives me the same misery. I think we can feel bad for Melania because she is a human being and has to conform to the standard her orange husband set forth for her.

This is the most important point here. Michelle, and her daughters have lived through the last eight years of the worst shit imaginable thrown at them on a daily basis by the Republicans. Republicans never gave any of them a single iota of respect. Can you imagine what they would have done if Michelle had posed nude…

It’s not that she isn’t smiling, it’s that the smiles are so fake and forced and as soon as she’s done with acting happy around Trumpa Loopa she goes right back to looking like a kidnapping victim

I don’t see people slut shaming her as much as using her as an example of Republican hypocrisy. Michelle Obama was roundly ridiculed as unacceptable for the role of FLOTUS for wearing sleeveless dresses. Melania posed nude (and likely engaged in more wanton activities) and she’s a paragon of American values and a…

my father has NPD and watching Trump is like reliving the nightmares of my childhood. I have sympathy for Melania.

Research Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Abuse. Victims will stay in a relationship for a long period of time before even realizing what is going on. They are often being Gaslighted and made to believe that they are the crazy ones. Of course she needs to support his ideologies if this is in fact…

It’s like the bully who you know has a rough home life; you can feel bad for him and still think it’s bad when he picks on other kids.

Yes! I can feel sorry for her and still think she is not that great of a person.
