As if she was talking about another person. It was weird and very off putting. Another co-worker and I often speculated about why she did that. (Among MANY odd and annoying things she did.). We concluded that it was just another indication of some kind of personality disorder. Like one of her personalities commenting on another of her personalities.

So maybe tRump has Multiple Personalities and when he references himself that way (tRump says this or does that) he is just commenting on one of the many personalities crammed into his cranium. Hmmmm. Another psychiatric issue to add to the mix of his disorders??

30. It's called illeism
Sat Feb 3, 2018, 12:46 PM
Feb 2018

"Still, it’s pretty unusual for the average person to use illeism. Most often when a person does so it’s because they’re being either defensive about or protecting a particular image. That’s why some think that folks who talk about themselves in the third person might actually be revealing their narcissism. For narcissists, of course, it’s always about image."
https://counsellingresource.com/features/2016/02/01/illeism-and-narcissism/

It's frequently associated with narcissists but it is sometimes used by people who are Not narcissists.

If you refer to yourself in the third person when self talking, it will help you feel better about yourself. But some people do it in public probobly trying to bolster their image.

It's a really annoying habit but "Trump" seems to pick up every habit that is annoying.

24. tRump know about Watergate? Are you kidding me?
Sat Feb 3, 2018, 12:13 PM
Feb 2018

tRump was old enough when Watergate happened to have some knowledge of it from his own memory and experience. I was about 25 or 26 when that was happening and tRump is a few years older than I am. I was not tuned into ALL the things that happened but I do remember watching the hearings daily for quite a while. I remember the key players and certainly remember how it all turned out, especially for Nixon. I have learned more since it happened by reading and listening to others who were involved. (John Dean, for example.)

But remember, this is tRump we are talking about. Chances are, he never paid that much attention to it as it was happening. And he sure won’t pick up a book now to fill in the gaps. Hell, he won’t even read a three page summary, just so he is familiar with the key names, who went to prison and the general plot line.

So to answer your question. No. He has no idea how long the investigation took. All he knows he wants his investigation to go away and leave him unscathed.

He's a deep to the marrow of his bones narcissist, and therefore is probably more than a little paranoid. The more cornered they feel, the more viciously they lash out. They spread blame like a hippo sprays and spreads dung.

I retired early to get away from someone just like trump* (lying, pathological narcissist) so until he's gone, I'm not even approaching a recovery stage.

even though that man had been banned from the U.S. as a threat to our nation. And
what did they talk about? Cyber security. R you kidding me??????

What worries me is that nobody will try to stop trump* from doing whatever he thinks necessary to distract people from his malfeasance. I'm actually finding it necessary to force myself to make plans for anything more than a few days in advance. It's hard to plan for a future when you really aren't sure there will be one.

He went to U. of P, undergrad. Wharton is the elite graduate school at Penn. Trump didn't get in or graduate from Wharton.
