Miscavige and Trump both suffer from NPD...except they're not suffering

The thing about Narcissistic personality disorder is that the ego of the person is so fragile that they themselves never believe anything is wrong with them. They will project-- something is wrong with the person who claims they are crazy. Of course this is the variety of crazy people who don't know they're crazy.

Insatiable need for compliments, praise, flattery, minions to do their bidding. No empathy, nothing is ever their fault, they will apologize for nothing. Thin skin, always finding drama where there is none, prone to intermittent explosive disorder, berating and criticizing others relentlessly but unable to take criticism themselves.

Anyone who doubts mental health or the idea of a mental breakdown is...suspect. No, psychiatry is not a religion. Though this film really makes me want to go into the practice just to ward away people of this cult.

No doubt a huge connection with both Trump and Miscavige as far as narcissistic personality disorder, but then a lot of politicians and hollywood stars run that way too.

For me it is a bigger problem then an an organization takes on that same persona, like Scientology has. And at least the US gov hasn't, yet.
