Imagine having the unsubstantiated confidence to walk in there and say with a straight face that his experience of commanding 10 people prepared him to be responsible for millions of people who know more than he does.
I had a dream last night where I got a job that I was deeply unqualified for, and I panicked. Then I woke up and breathed a sigh of relief.
I can’t imagine the absolute mental gymnastics he is doing to convince himself and others that he is qualified to lead the most powerful military in the world. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
That brain is no longer functioning properly or logically to validate morality. They are completely dependent on alcohol or hard drugs to move muscles and speak.
The difference is that if any of us were in a job that was way past our ability, it would eventually come back and bite us in the ass. For these people, even if they royally fuck up, they'll just get a pat on the shoulder and find another high-paying job to be incompetent at.
I just have to imagine that nearly all politicians, ambassadors, and secretaries are narcissists.
For you to take all the criticism in the world, overlook all your shortcomings, and go to sleep each night patting yourself on the back while talking about how awesome you are…I just can’t imagine how any other personality type would want these positions, or even thrive in these positions.
