Elizabeth Warren calls Donald Trump a 'loser'

Source: Politico

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren lit into Donald Trump on Monday, denouncing the Republican presidential frontrunner as a "loser" whose past business dealings and insecurities threaten to rip apart the United States.

In a multi-part tweetstorm and Facebook post, the Democratic senator referred to ongoing litigation over his businesses, including Trump University. "Let’s be honest - @realDonaldTrump is a loser. Count all his failed businesses. See how he cheated people w/ scams like Trump U.," Warren tweeted.

"See how @realDonaldTrump kept his father’s empire afloat using strategic corporate bankruptcies to skip out on debt," she followed.

Trump is a "loser," Warren tweeted, and he knows it.

He'd destroy our constitution, our way of life, our jobs, everything, for his own profit. That's the goal, steal the money from the US, bankrupt us, then walk away laughing.

If you start with 200 million and run for 30 years, his net worth gain is good, but not impressive.

He is sooo petty and thin-skinned. I can't wait for his eventual implosion. The pressure builds daily. The longer he lasts the more spectacular it will be.

"Many experts use the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, to diagnose mental conditions. This manual is also used by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.

"DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:

Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it.
Exaggerating your achievements and talents.
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people.
Requiring constant admiration.
Having a sense of entitlement.
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations.
Taking advantage of others to get what you want.
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
Being envious of others and believing others envy you.
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner."

I've read several others since this one - therapists/psychiatrists don't usually want to diagnose from afar, so they must be worried.

Trump has been hurling the term "loser" at everyone without further explanation of why he used the term.

For Warren to imitate him is bad form. In my mind.
