He said that was a stupid thing to do, and it was. I agree that it wasn't wise to say that to the press corps, but it's not the same as reacting to personal insults, and threatening to restrict the press, now is it?
Obama slighted his enemies in speeches and interviews all the time, he just had a slicker way of doing it. Who needs to threaten the press when they've got your back?

Serious. I see the narcissism, I don't see unstable.

Also name a POTUS who wasn't a narcissist. I can't think of one.
Lincoln

He was a bit unstable, though.

Nah, he kind of answered your question. Whatever your opinion of Lincoln, he definitely was not a narcissist. He as ambitious as hell. He was ruthless. But not really narcissistic.

He is appealing to his base and pivoting. Having his cake and eating it too. Patriotism is the cure for Prejudice, if you buy the narrative that his speech was dark and only appealed to his base then you are brainwashed by the mainstream media.

Lincoln is only less narcissistic than other POTUS's. Compared to the general public though, he was a pretty big narcissist. I will not lower the bar for narcissism just so that one POTUS can qualify.

Either you don't know much about Lincoln or you don't understand the definition of narcissism.

Hey, don't bash Lincoln. He was a vampire hunter.

He was a politician who wanted the top job in the country because he thought he could do better than anyone else. Whether he was right or not, and his intentions were good do not matter, that's narcissism incarnate. No POTUS qualifies. When you view yourself that highly you are a narcissist whether you claim it's to help the people or you do help a lot of people, these things don't change that fact.
