It's called "The Art of the Deal".
I kid... anyway, that sounds like an interesting book, but nothing I didn't learn whilst studying narcissistic personality disorder, sociopaths, or psychopaths. Jeez... wonder why I learned about all those >_ >

Haha I’ve never read “Art of the Deal”. But yeah, I suppose it’s just a book about narcissism. Right on the nose.

What's incredibly fucked up, is it was ghost-written, and you can tell exactly where dudeman tried to make the orange one sound nicer. It's kind of hilarious.
Anyway, NPD was the one I really studied all by myself, sociopaths and psychopathy were covered in my 101 psychology class; albeit briefly.
What's so scary about all 3, and the inability to admit wrong, means it also inhibits growth. Knowing you were wrong and admitting to it means you know you don't know everything and you recognize potential for improvement. With those 3, there's no real growth beyond either trying to hide it or boast it... so you're stuck with a friggin mental toddler.

Now that doesn't mean they are incapable of being strategic or knowledgeable, it's the use. The latter two are usually both strategic and knowledgeable... there's just the emotional level of a toddler, at best.

Look at quote 5 in this: https://www.axios.com/how-9-art-of-the-deal-quotes-explain-the-trump-presidency-1513300122-183eaed4-4c48-4527-a7ed-c57dd143865a.html
Given his behavior, and his constant tweets, do you really think he said that or do you think the ghostwriter just wrote it because what he actually said was just far more bizarre?

Also, with those quotes, do you think he knows half those words!? Again, it's hilarious.

"People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. " That's the only part of point 6 I believe came from him. I doubt he knows what hyperbole means.

Oh my. I try to stay out of US politics, but that guy is a full-on nutcase. Thank you for the info, @funkmasterrex, it was enlightening, hilarious, and terrifying.

With my "or you can be like me and be a big ass kid" comment I just found out something... amazing XD I AM a big ass kid, but in a totally different way when it comes to mental and emotional development.
Unless I'm actually and asshole and blind to it. You, and everyone else here would tell me that, right? I know I can be assholish sometimes... but... ><_ blurp
