A big factor driving the "elites' " response to Mr. Trump is the phenomena known as narcissistic reversal and projective identification. Those are ego-identity defenses in which an exploitative, controlling liar (to hide true self-knowledge and maintain a "superior," false self) projects all their negative characteristics upon a (needed) enemy, to maintain psychic, comradery "against" the value creating and cooperative "light." By twisting themselves internally upside down and backwards in a morally relativistic manner, they can make their true superiors (who are a threat to the [ego] lie complex or narrative) appear beneath them. They know their superiors do not need them. They are desperately trying to maintain exploitative control.

Mr. Trump is their biggest threat. I believe Mr. Trump’s heart is in the right place, and he is faking his appearances of narcissism, which drives his enemies wild. They can't project their own negative characteristics upon him successfully (projective identification - so they feel good about themselves and can act civilized, like a false front) because Mr. Trump doesn't care about his appearances. If negative people can't transfer their crap to someone else making them look bad, they will lose their self-control acting out their true feelings or inner state.

Thanks for writing this article. You write cautiously and conservatively. 🤗
