Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States in 2024.
The GOP candidate, Donald J. Trump, reacted strongly, ‘truthing’, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”
That reaction is symbolical of Trump’s maturity and life approach. Such behavior probably posts Ms. Swift’s case for not supporting Trump.
What prompts me to think about it and write about it is another writer asking via a headline, “Opinion: Why is Trump picking a fight he can’t win with Taylor Swift?”
Matt Lewis is the author. He writes a reasonable column about a reasonable question, if the subject, Donald J. Trump, was a reasonable person with reasonable self-control.
But Trump has shown himself not to be a reasonable person. He’s revealed himself to be petty. He’s demonstrated that he lacks self-control. The governor on his mental processes seems seriously damaged.
And that’s why he should not be POTUS: because he can’t stop himself from instigating and pursuing petty fights. A petty person is not what we need as the leader of our nation.
Vote Blue in 2024.
Since I have necessarily, though not happily, become well versed in the behavioral patterns of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I can tell you that this is right out of the standard playbook. A narc, when faced with someone powerful, will first try to get them on their team (remember the fake AI endorsement by Swift?) and if that doesn’t work, fury, pettiness, and bullying will follow pronto 🤷

Good point. My wife, who has also been forced to deal with others with NPD, said something about that, too, and I forgot. Thanks for the comment and reminder. Cheers
