< p > Trump has lost his composure, gone delusional. The Chinese side has clarified that there have been no negotiations or consultations; all of this was fabricated by Trump. Now, he can only rely on false stories to pretend that he is very tough. Not a single word from him can be trusted; if he has driven himself crazy, China will not take responsibility for treating him. < / p >< p > The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded again: "There have been no negotiations or consultations between China and the United States regarding tariff issues. The U.S. should not confuse the facts." < / p >< p > These days, Trump keeps going back and forth, saying that "negotiations between China and the U.S. are ongoing" and even claiming that "the negotiations are progressing smoothly." However, the Chinese side has never released any related information. < / p >< p > Now the Foreign Ministry has made it very clear: There are no negotiations, no consultations, and all of this is just the U.S. confusing the facts. < / p >< p > This shows that Trump has lost his composure and can only fabricate stories, talking to himself. He vividly describes things that never happened, which is a sign of serious psychological problems. < / p >< p > Trump's current behavior is likely caused by a typical narcissistic defense mechanism. < / p >< p > The biggest fear of someone with a narcissistic personality is not failure itself, but failure in others' eyes. Once he loses his "strongman" image in public, it means his psychological defenses have been breached. Therefore, when reality cannot support his narrative, he chooses to fabricate an alternative version of reality, even if the facts are right before his eyes, he insists that he has not lost, and may even believe that he is winning. In professional terms, this is called cognitive dissonance resolution. < / p >< p > That is to say, when he realizes the conflict between "I have failed" and "I cannot fail," he chooses to modify external facts to relieve his inner pressure. < / p >< p > And Trump's repeated emphasis on "negotiations are ongoing" and "going well," and even taking the initiative to "release progress" on behalf of China, is actually a form of projection fantasy: he cannot accept being completely ignored by China, so he pretends that China is "secretly conceding." < / p >< p > He should adjust his policies, but narcissistic personalities do not allow for admitting mistakes, so he can only fabricate a script of "I won, you just don't realize it" to continue performing. < / p >< p > This state, psychologically speaking, is called exaggerated fantasies of control, a common mental compensation reaction under high pressure. The problem is that once reality continues to contradict him, he will fall into a more severe anxiety loop, only able to fabricate larger "victory illusions" to maintain his face. < / p >< p > Trump is not negotiating now; he is negotiating with his own illusions. < / p >< p > In short, this person has gone insane! < / p >< p >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/418dc2ea2ff042c9bd9a87b1270f9a8b~tplv-obj:640:360.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1830364539088906&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1753315200&x-signature=fHv3HNFVlUL9Zn4b9Trj%2FGAY26g%3D" / > < / p >< p > Original Source: < a href = "https://www.toutiao.com/article/1830364539088906/" > https://www.toutiao.com/article/1830364539088906/ < / a > < / p >< p > Disclaimer: The article solely represents the author's personal views. < / p >
