Paul Ryan did extensive research on-
psychological disorders to learn how to deal with Trump.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) did
extensive research on psychological disorders in
preparation for dealing with former President Donald Trump.
Business Insider: Ryan was surprised to see Trump win
the 2016 presidential election, after which he realized that
he would soon have to figure out how to have a
productive relationship with the incoming president.
A New York-based Republican donor who also happens
to be a doctor reached out to Ryan and warned him that
he would "need to understand
what narcissistic personality disorder is."
Ryan was initially surprised that the doctor was saying the
incoming president suffered from a psychological disorder,
but the doctor sent him more information about the condition,
including an email with "thoughts on how to best deal with
a person with anti-social personality disorder."
Ryan subsequently did more research of his own
and grew more convinced that Trump really was
a pathological narcissist.
Trump could not understand why he should bother
denouncing neo-Nazis who rallied in Charlottesville
on the grounds that "these people love me."
