So add highly deluded to the crazy mix-'d-match of many mental maladies Trump is... The Solipsistic Narcissist
"And what's REALLY creepy is that as far as I can tell, he has NO DOUBT that's he's everything
he claims to be: Brilliant, always right, super attractive, even at his age, and so much more."
"Narcissist and Solipsist, why not both - Trump isn’t a narcissist – he’s a solipsist. And it means a few simple things"
[...][added today] Some of them, especially the French and the British, might be excused for excessive politeness toward a country that in many respects they still envy and admire. But on most of the news programs and podcasts to which I’ve been invited, I’m still encountering earnest interviewers struggling to understand Trump from a conventional political perspective, no matter how contradictory, irrational, or stupid his statements and actions may be. How can this be and what does it augur?
[...]A narcissist, while deeply self-infatuated, nevertheless seeks the approval of others and will occasionally attempt seduction to get what he wants (I think of the French president, Emmanuel Macron). For Trump the solipsist, the only point of reference is himself, so he makes no attempt even at faking interest in other people, since he can’t really see them from his self-centered position.

Note to readers: This article is loaded with terms and concepts that are worthy of further research. Unlike many of my pieces that invoke my personal experiences in order to share our common bond as survivors of a relationship with a disordered narcissist, this writing focuses on the psychology and philosophical underpinnings of the illness.
The inner landscape of a person with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a desolate, howling wilderness, a frozen world, hollow and barren, cold and dead, with no connection to reality or external figures that might imbue a flicker of warmth or life.
Their schizoid core ..
"And what's REALLY creepy is that as far as I can tell, he has NO DOUBT that's he's everything
he claims to be: Brilliant, always right, super attractive, even at his age, and so much more."
Where identity and an authentic sense of self should live is replaced with arrogance, self-involvement, and entitlement which are compensatory mechanisms the narcissist has developed in order to replace their inner shame and trauma.
The shame for narcissists is carried deep within, and often impacts their feelings of worth that they cannot bring themselves to share with anyone. Since they have what is called discontinuous memory ..
They internalize everything and everyone so there is no true connection to external forces in the real world. This happened when they failed to achieve separation and individuation ..
The most common reason they could not complete this crucial stage that is at the heart of their impaired objects relations ..
People with NPD are known to be what in philosophy is called solipsistic . Some might even argue they are one and the same. But the distinction between solipsism and narcissism is a subtle yet distinct. Briefly put, solipsism is the philosophical theory that the self is all that exists while narcissism is the absence of self and subsequent replacement with a false self (persona).
Insert: 10/3/2025 - "Solipsistic" describes a philosophy where only one's own mind is certain to exist, making the external world and other people unknowable or unreal. It also describes a person who is excessively self-focused or selfish, prioritizing their own needs and desires over those of others, similar to being self-absorbed or egocentric.

The narcissist is a contradiction. They need people for supply/fuel, but there is no true desire or ability to connect or ability to achieve intimacy. They need you, but they hate needing you.
So what do you do when your worst enemy is your own brain/mind? This is the narcissist’s dilemma. The narcissist says, “I am invulnerable and superman” in order to ameliorate their anxiety and depression and as a way to respond to their shame and trauma, and let’s remember that narcissism is a reaction to trauma in a causal way.
Narcissists love themselves (in a grandiose infatuation with their false self, not real self), but they fail to form real attachments or bonding to others.
"And what's REALLY creepy is that as far as I can tell, he has NO DOUBT that's he's everything
he claims to be: Brilliant, always right, super attractive, even at his age, and so much more."
Both the narcissist and schizoid share this quality of being incapable of attaching to another human being. They have flat attachment. Flat attachment is a type of attachment style where people are incapable of bonding or empathizing with others. They commodify people and treat them as replaceable objects. Flat attachment is common among narcissists, psychopaths, schizoids, and even sometimes those on the autism spectrum.
Melanie Klein was the first to articulate “splitting” (called the good and bad breasts) which is part of childhood development. She believed that humans are born with an unintegrated ego and need to employ certain tools to avoid death and disintegration. The mechanism of projective identification is projected onto the bad object in early childhood, but it serves an important purpose. It is a form of adaptation and a defense strategy to protect the image of the false self.
[ Projection is a defense mechanism where you attribute your own unacceptable thoughts or feelings to another person, but you remain aware of the projected aspect within yourself. Projective identification is a more extreme and unconscious version where the individual not only projects qualities onto someone else but also influences that person to internalize and identify with those qualities, often through unconscious pressure, creating a shared experience.

Envy is an important factor in all of this. Both the narcissist and the schizoid are examples about how destructive envy can damage a person and cause you to be less integrated. Both have arrested development due to destructive envy. Narcissists prefer to destroy themselves rather than allow you or anyone they envy to feel gratified and satisfied. For examples, if the narcissist harms, they can blame others and thus not feel envy because now they have been brought down and reduced, thus causing them to have no reason to envy them. They subsume the good object they envy so it cannot be a source of envy.

The inner landscape of a person with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a desolate, howling wilderness, a frozen world, hollow and barren, cold and dead, with no connection to reality or external figures that might imbue a flicker of warmth or life.
Their schizoid core ..
.. is characterized by the narcissist’s struggle with forming meaningful connections and their distorted sense of self.
"And what's REALLY creepy is that as far as I can tell, he has NO DOUBT that's he's everything

The shame for narcissists is carried deep within, and often impacts their feelings of worth that they cannot bring themselves to share with anyone. Since they have what is called discontinuous memory ..
, it is even likely that they do not remember the things that happened to them in early childhood that caused such feelings. Their selective memory only remembers about 30% of the past with accuracy and fidelity. The rest is either completely erased, rewritten with a new twist, or totally fabricated out of thin air. And that is their reality — this crazy funhouse of mirrors and broken glass, illusions and delusions, monsters and heroes, fantasy and fiction.
They internalize everything and everyone so there is no true connection to external forces in the real world. This happened when they failed to achieve separation and individuation ..
.. as an early childhood developmental stage that was not completed for one reason or another.
The most common reason they could not complete this crucial stage that is at the heart of their impaired objects relations ..
.. is because of an impaired, abusive, or absent mother, also known as the “dead mother.” This mother violated boundaries between mother and child in ways that created a destructive obstacle to healthy stages in growth.
