Donald Trump Won’t Stop Using A Technique Psychologists Associate With Narcissists. Psychologists say there’s another classic narcissist tactic that Trump appears to employ with alarming frequency that’s less talked about: DARVO: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. DARVO is a manipulative tactic often used by narcissistic abusers to evade accountability: They deny the abuse, attack the person confronting them and then reverse the roles to portray themselves as the victim. And because most of us are unfamiliar with DARVO, we’re not well equipped to counter the tactic.

Ex-DHS aide warns ‘erratic’ Trump took US to brink of nuclear war — and he’s getting worse
https://www.rawstory.com/miles-taylor-2676812895/
Former DHS official Miles Taylor claims Donald Trump’s inner circle deliberately shields him from unfavourable information, a dynamic he says has worsened in his second term. Taylor and other ex-aides describe incidents where Trump ignored urgent security threats, fixating instead on unrelated political priorities. Analysts warn this pattern could heighten risks in future crises, given diminished institutional checks and a more compliant advisory team.
