The president snapped after watching a TV show he didn’t like and said CBS should lose its license.

Donald Trump on Sunday called for “maximum fines and punishment” against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, over Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” broadcast.

In two separate posts on his Truth Social website, Trump complained about the show’s interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year ― which he is suing the company over ― and railed against Sunday night’s reports on Greenland and the war in Ukraine.

    Narcissists don’t seek treatment as this would imply they’re imperfect, however destructive their lives are. On the other hand we don’t force treatment on people unless they are an immediate physical threat to someone or themselves. Another aspect, you alluded to, is culture. In the west, especially the US there is a reverence toward these types of behaviour that are in line of the traits seen with overt narcissists. Kind of a positive feedback loop wherein these types filter towards the top of whatever organisation. I believe Musk is narcissistic aswell, and I doubt he is truly autistic. (I think he is self diagnosed, and normally I refrain from gatekeeping, however, I believe he is self aware enough to figure something is different about him and he mistakenly attributed these aberrations in his personality for autism instead of narcissism - I might be wrong though.) Having these two characters in power does not bode well for our civilisation. It makes me nauseous to think that they themselves are unable to recognise the destruction they are bringing onto the world.

      This next statement is not intended as disparaging to anyone diagnosed with autism. I do think there are some individuals who will disparage autistic individuals by using a self diagnosis of autism as an excuse for crappy behavior.

      Remember, if the Behind the Bastards journalist is to be believed, Elon grew up without friends. That experience alone may account for some the aberrant behavior we see.
