History suggests that leaders with this condition tend to view themselves as world figures capable of bending history to their will, and that they harbour simplistic pathological fantasies for reshaping the country in their own disordered image.
Narcissists crave attention and affirmation, and feel that they are superior to others and have the right to dominate them. They also lack empathy, which means that they are able to ruthlessly exploit and abuse people for the sake of power.
Pathological leaders tend to attract other people with psychological disorders. At the same time, empathetic and fair-minded people gradually fall away. They are either ostracised or step aside voluntarily, appalled by the growing pathology around them.
They exaggerate their accomplishments, focus obsessively on projecting power, and wish desperately to win.
 The grandiosity of narcissistic personalities belies an extreme fragility, their egos as delicate as foam. They live in terror of being upstaged. They’re too thin skinned to be told they’re wrong.
Narcissistic leaders never have the best people. They have galleries of sycophants. These sycophants measure every word they say like old-time apothecaries, hoping not to humiliate the narcissist — never humiliate a narcissist — while discreetly correcting his false hopes and falsehoods. They are desperately attempting to create a safe space for the president, when the president should be creating a safer nation for all of us.
Narcissistic personalities love nothing more than engineering conflict and sowing division. It destabilizes everyone, keeps them in control. The State House is a petty palace of competing power centers.Â
Narcissistic personalities are vindictive. On a clear day, you can see their grudges forever. The president plays favorites with governors and leaders who praise him and punishing those who fail to give him the respect he believes he deserves.Â
Most Narcissistic personalities are weak. They always need others to do the dirty jobs. A weakness of a narcissist is their extreme hatred of being embarrassed. There is nothing worse for them than having someone point out even the slightest fault. Ironically, they have no problem openly doing this to others.
Narcissists love to gather information about a person and store it away for later abuse. They use their charm to entice a person to share confidential details, especially ones that caused the other person embarrassment. Once gathered the narcissist uses the story to keep the other person in check and constantly worried about when the information will come out.
 A narcissist will retell another person’s story adding their own flare of additional shame. This can be done in front of others or privately. It usually happens after the other person has achieved some level of accomplishment. The narcissist will state that they are only trying to keep the other person humble but in reality, they are trying to humiliate.
Once in power, individuals with narcissistic personality disorder see themselves as history makers. They view themselves as great heroes who, unbound by the rules which govern lesser human beings, can bend history to their will and refashion the country in their image.
Only the President and his allies, his supporters, and their anointed are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. The rest of us are entitled only to cruelty, by their whim. The president is always surrounded by individuals who share his authoritarian tendencies and lack of empathy and morality.
Productive narcissists understand the vision thing particularly well, because they are by nature people who see the big picture. They are not analyzers who can break up big questions into manageable problems; they aren’t number crunchers either (these are usually the obsessives). Nor do they try to extrapolate to understand the future—they attempt to create it.Â
Democracy is an essential way of protecting people from pathological politicians, with principles and institutions that limit their power. This is why pathocrats hate democracy. Once they attain power they do their best to dismantle and discredit democratic institutions, including the freedom and legitimacy of the press. This is the first thing that Hitler did when he became German chancellor, and it is what autocrats such as Trump, Vladimir Putin and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán have been attempting to do.
People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are in love with an idealized, grandiose image of themselves. And they’re in love with this inflated self-image precisely because it allows them to avoid deep feelings of insecurity. But propping up their delusions of grandeur takes a lot of work—and that’s where the dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors come in. Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. They are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others. What’s more, they are extremely sensitive and react badly to even the slightest criticisms, disagreements, or perceived slights, which they view as personal attacks.
Narcissists feel threatened whenever they encounter someone who appears to have something they lack—especially those who are confident and popular. They’re also threatened by people who don’t kowtow to them or who challenge them in any way. Their defense mechanism is contempt. The only way to neutralize the threat and prop up their own sagging ego is to put those people down. They may do it in a patronizing or dismissive way as if to demonstrate how little the other person means to them. Or they may go on the attack with insults, name-calling, bullying, and threats to force the other person back into line
Unlike in last elections where rifty valley was the swing province This time around Central will be the swingers Obviously they will be missing in the debe
The wise one should be busy coart them like a kamrembo, coalition should come in the last minute, but be conscious majority of central folks may decide To stay home as a 2017 revenge in repeat duel where by their nyanza counterparts opted for the same hehehe
When will this nasty games of trubal politics end in Kenya!? Mudavadi, Wetangula STOP MISLEADING Kenyans. If they have points, let them address issues. They evade that because it actually, disposes their weaknesses as those Political pundits have made it clear.
This is really amazing!! Same mdavadi alikuwa anamponda Ruto ety ni mwizi leo hii ndio best yake duuu jameni wakenya tuko mashakani. Kwa nini hawa wote wasiende retire? We need new line up not these goons who always promote tribalism. Hawa ndio wametufukarisha wote waende kabisa tupate wakenya wapya hasaa
So what we can say here mudavadi wants to be a president and ruto too wants to be a president then who will support who ?? don't you see that the luhyas have a long way to decide??
Let's face reality is sugar production viable and competitive in the world Market! Note abnormal cost of production attributed by very high cost of energy in Kenya! Otherwise its preserved to remain Western political subject in every election.
Wekesa- "Uhuru is very young" is a very stupid argument… at 60, Uhuru will not be the youngest to retire…in fact, the Late ngurunziza was to retire at 55 despite being a dictator
I am hopeful and optimistic about the future of our country Kenya. I love this think tank! Young energetic and bright in their analysis. I hope you keep this and that you may not be bought by politicians to sell wanjiku cheap. I know the politicians hearing you are not comfortable and they will seek to highjack some of you. Wish you all the best!
This country is going nowhere as long as we continue to look at issues in tribal lines. It's the politicians that divide Kenyans for their political benefits. How come we intermarry freely, but when it comes to elections we cacoon to outdated village mentality.

What has madividi done for the luyha community?
Noah wekesa bado ako dunia hii ?Mimi nimeanda shule alikuwa mp sasa nimezeeka yy bado vijana jje.
Last time he was behind Rails but Kibaki beat them …. now he is confused behind Uhuru …… Think big luhyas stop being misused ….
When will this nasty games of trubal politics end in Kenya!? Mudavadi, Wetangula STOP MISLEADING Kenyans. If they have points, let them address issues. They evade that because it actually, disposes their weaknesses as those Political pundits have made it clear.

Mudavadi is a failure on politics he should go to be a Bishop
Kijana atawafira tena nyinyi wajinga,Kuku moja na pembe moja Tosha ?
This is the way to go,Luhya Nation has spoken…We as the Hustler Nation we endorse fully the Ruto-Mudavadi coalition…Mbele iko sawa%
Let's face reality is sugar production viable and competitive in the world Market!
Note abnormal cost of production attributed by very high cost of energy in Kenya!
Otherwise its preserved to remain Western political subject in every election.
Eti Raisi Bado Ni Kijana Hatoenda mahali….nani kasema? ashamaliza muda wake aende akalime wewe mzee jiheshimu na uwache kuongea ujinga.
Tumewachoka baana…… kila miaka ikienda ni mudavadi ama Raila kwani kenya ni yao
? Losers never lead.
Hawa ni watoto wapotevu.musalia na wetangula.
I think Kenyan politics should be based on the whole Tribe not on some parts or Section seeking for Unity. Thanks .
Wekesa- "Uhuru is very young" is a very stupid argument… at 60, Uhuru will not be the youngest to retire…in fact, the Late ngurunziza was to retire at 55 despite being a dictator
I Wish you guys with the platform given to encourage democracy rather than undermining other players

Good Kenya is not for a single road politics let sycophants keep on day dreaming

Kipchumba is right
I am hopeful and optimistic about the future of our country Kenya. I love this think tank! Young energetic and bright in their analysis. I hope you keep this and that you may not be bought by politicians to sell wanjiku cheap. I know the politicians hearing you are not comfortable and they will seek to highjack some of you.
Wish you all the best!
Leadership driven by selfish interests. May we seriously rethink what we really want as a country.
Confusion in the country leadership is infectious!

Chero, beautiful n intelligent. Your answers are articulate to the point.
