87. I don't call someone mentally ill

Mon May 25, 2026, 08:05 PM

May 25

as a way to demean them. I have called Trump a narcissist because mental therapist have called him that. Being a narcissist is very different than being low IQ. Many people and most people with low IQ that I worked with were kind, caring, socially appropriate for their developmental age. They could be funny and were not mean. A narcissist has a number of unpleasant personality traits. With all the ugly words we can call trump why is it necessary to call him low IQ especially if it hurts someone's feelings who is low IQ? It's just not necessary but hey if it makes you feel better to use that term then go ahead. I know what kind of people go out of their way to hurt others for no reason other than they enjoy it.
