His niece Mary trump is a psychologist, and well aware of her uncle at a personal level. She agrees that he suffered a “narcissistic injury.”
“That was a narcissistic injury that he will never get over, actually,” Mary Trump said. “He will continue to defend himself against that even if he never says a word about it again. That is how thin-skinned he is, that is how incredibly fragile his ego is.”
I expect my description of Trumps reaction is roughly accurate, and not in anyway belittling or containing “a loaded psychological meaning” referring to any other person.
Legally speaking, Mary Trump is lucky she’s a psychologist and not a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists in America are held to the Goldwater Rule, which states they cannot speculate on the mental disorders of public figures. Mary’s personal relationship is irrelevant, Trump hasn’t given consent for her to treat him, and indeed if he had, there would be a conflict of interest. You can’t do psychiatry at random people on the street, and you can’t violate medical confidentiality without direct and imminent harm to the patient. While the American Psychological Association has no such rule, I would still consider diagnosis of Trump without permission or a patient doctor rapport to be a violation of professional ethics.
I think an experienced psychologist, with deep personal experience with a specific person, gave a reasonable diagnosis of said persons specific behaviour at an event, behavior that said person has commonly engaged in on the world stage for a decade, if not longer, for all the world to see. The behavior shes giving her opinion on matches closely, in theme and intent, to the term I used as a layman on the internet.
If you mean to say that she had a sufficient intimacy to diagnose him with a mental disorder, then making that diagnosis public is a violation of confidentiality and consent. Professionals have standards. I would never want to be Mary Trump’s patient, knowing she does not have any standards of patient privacy.

Neat.

I stand by my description.
