Psychologist Who Specializes in Narcissists: What We Need to Do to Stop Trump
6 points by axiologist 1 month ago | 9 comments- hunglee2 1 month agoTrump is a classic bully so you basically need to face him down - any appeasement will simply earn his (justified) contempt, and he'll double down. China showed the way on Trump Tariff War 2.0 - no k1ssing 8ss, no call, no nonsense - just authentic reciprocal action.

I don't think TFA has the answer though; nothing concrete is proposed.
Coping strategies like "keep the faith" and "gray rocking" may succeed (or not) at an interpersonal level, but don't transpose into anything meaningful at scale.
Politics, jurisprudence and journalism are where solutions are most needed but there's nothing on the horizon, afaics.
