He's panicking.
For his whole life, this corrupt, narcissistic, orange moron has always been able to lie and cheat his way to achieving any desired end, and now he's finding for the first time in his life that it is not working. Republican State officials are no longer obsequious to his every whim, and he doesn't know how to handle this other than to rant and rave and keep making the lies bigger and better.
This is his narcissistic collapse playing out in full view of the public.
Here's what to watch for during the collapse of a malignant narcissist...
1. They will falsely claim that everything is fine and that there is nothing wrong.
2. If evidence is presented, they will seek to have it invalidated or claim that it is false
3. Any evidence presented, and those that present it will be attacked aggressively and vindictively.
4. Foolproof evidence will be portrayed as false and the result of: pettiness, jealousies, bad actors, malicious individuals, negativity, haters etc
5. As they lash out with vindictiveness, the malignant narcissist will continue to talk about themselves in glowing terms; irrespective of their actual situation, as they are incapable of introspection, much less contriteness.
6. They will seek to find someone to blame for their troubles or downfall, preferably someone that cannot defend themselves.
7. As circumstances become dire, the narcissist will not take any responsibility—EVER! Anything that has gone wrong is the responsibility of others.
8. In the process of casting blame, even the most loyal and stalwart will be discarded and denigrated if needed with reptilian indifference.
9. Expect lies to increase and to be repeated exponentially. They will, even in light of factual evidence to the contrary, lie more profusely and adamantly. Lies are and always will be the number one tool of the malignant narcissist.
10. And while lies will increase, so too will be the need to devalue others in order to further value themselves. They will attack everyone and anyone in the most vicious and vindictive ways. This is when we see their rage come through. Not just anger, but unbridled rage.
11. The malignant narcissist lacking guilt or a conscience, is only concerned with respect and not being publicly shamed.
12. If the narcissist is going to be brought down, they will also seek to bring everyone else around them down to vindictively make them suffer.
13. ... as the end nears, the suffering of others is paramount to the malignant narcissist. It is their way of elevating themselves—sick as that sounds—by malevolently paying back society with even more suffering.
14. ...they will endlessly air their grievances. Narcissists are natural wound collectors and as such, they have been collecting and nurturing social slights and perceived wrongs just for this occasion. They will wallow in victimhood claiming they have been relentlessly and needlessly persecuted. They, of course, expect their attorneys, followers, or enablers to subserviently echo their flatulent claims.
The above is just a summary of each point. If any of this looks familiar, it should. These points are expanded here...
