Borderline personality disorder is what
Literally this. My dad had all the symptoms of BPD and was almost a clone of Trump, but an alcoholic version.
He was also a flagship example of "Last Person He Talked To" syndrome like Trump, where if he met someone who charmed him, he would fawn all over that person and even start talking like them for days or weeks after. It just betrays a deep sense of insecurity about one's own identity.
The flip side of this is if Trump meets with someone else with an opposing viewpoint or condemnation for Mamdani even a day later, it will flip back the opposite direction, because in the mind of someone like this, social approval is more valuable than idolizing someone and feelings change like the weather and dictate the entire narrative.
Sounds more like a Narcissist to me. Was he ever diagnosed?
Wait, does borderline personality mean you're always on the borderline of someone else's personality? I thought it was similar to Bipolar.
There's a lot of copying and adapting traits from whoever comes off as confident, successful, etc because they have no confidence in their own identity
That literally had nothing to do with a single symptom listed of the disorder in the DSM-5.
You should check your sources (assuming it's not tiktok)
*Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The two are often conflated.
Narcissists emulate others and steal their personalities because they don't have an identity of their own.
Borderlines can cycle rapidly back and forth between fawning and animosity, but they rarely "steal" an entire personality. Or continue to mirror once the person has left.
