“He is extremely insecure like an adolescent boy,” one former analyst said. “If you are very secure with yourself, you don’t talk about yourself all the time. People who are loud and bragging and projecting confidence, they are overcompensating for their own personal insecurities through their behavior.”
That’s a vulnerability that can be exploited both inside and outside the U.S. government.

I would think this makes him very vulnerable.

Big stretch there buddy. He could be just as familiar with getting fired based on the info provided.

Children act better than Trump.

So is this guy a psychologist?

Yup.

He doesn't use "I" nearly as much as his predecessor, so that is a step down in narcissism.

Brilliant. You should work for Hallmark.

That's a stretch...if you had said "Some" or "Most" I might just have gone along with you.

So what's next? He had a domineering father who was impossible to please and very difficult to live up to? So that's why he's insecure?

I could give you some amateur psychology on Putin too. HRC was just flat out dangerously delusional.

Whatever his insecurities, Trump has common sense that has been lacking for 8 years.

I would agree that Trump is very full of himself but let's not act like this is unique. I mean seriously, you think Obama is not full of himself? Pelosi? I mean really this is par for the course. At least Trump is taking some quick action in just his first few days in office to get things done.

Why he is insecure is irrelevant.

The question is does it make him vulnerable to manipulation?

Remember the federal employees who promised to quit and celebrities who promised to move if Trump became President? Can we get an updated head count on that?

Yes just as soon as Rush Limbaugh moves to Costa Rica like he said he would.

Only for him to say stupid things that make him look bad (as Rubio did, but Rubio got hurt worse). And he is tempered by common sense. Twitter, however, is immediate and doesn't leave time for common sense to take over. Trump strikes me as ADHD, very impulsive.
