There is no fury in hell when a narcissist is humiliated.
The only thing stronger than a narcissist’s need to win and be right is how much he hates to lose, and worse, how much he hates to be humiliated and feel it, especially in public.
Because of the latter, the term “narcissistic rage” has been used to explain the desperate, vindictive behavior he often resorts to.
This is not to say that Trump is dangerous in the same way; the current campaign coincides with the surprise hit FX series The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, where Simpson’s murderous narcissistic rage is recounted once again.
Given the past two weeks since Trump talked about punishing women who have abortions, culminating in his loss in Wisconsin, it’s anyone’s guess how Trump will react.
The verdict is in, but we shouldn’t wait long to see what he will do.
By the way, if Trump does something self-destructive to make things worse for himself, that doesn’t necessarily bode well for Ted Cruz.
Why?
Some experts have suggested that Cruz’s support may have more to do with his representation of anti-Trump sentiment than with his perceived merits. It may be possible that the collective consciousness has had enough of both.
If that happens and it goes to a contested convention, there’s a good chance that both will be fired outright, with someone like John Kasich or Paul Ryan or someone else left when the dust settles.
Finally, like other experts who make ridiculous if not downright stupid pronouncements about how things are going to play out, I plead, “There’s no contest.”
