Experts See Narcissistic Collapse Behind Trump's Long Truth Social Rant

Experts say Trump's sprawling Truth Social tirade against former allies such as Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene signals narcissistic collapse—a threatened self-image triggering rage, devaluation of others, and grandiosity—though it is not a formal diagnosis. Psychologists describe both overt and covert patterns (attacking appearance or intelligence, shifting blame, seeking external validation) and advise bystanders to disengage, set boundaries, and prioritize personal well-being.
