On other hand I am not too fond of using narcissist or other psychological profiles.<br /><br />My impression was, the stays with the judgement he came up with without ever looking back or for that matter questioning earlier assumptions. It's all about his profile as prophet in the end.<br /><br />Maybe he is right. Like Krugman, supporter in macro economics, or his more high profile friends in the field of economy? And it's really me, that doesn't really grasp his prophetic gift? <br /><br />Could well be. No big surprise there. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731194035494828382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-44660892185921897362018-05-30T16:02:33.330+02:002018-05-30T16:02:33.330+02:00I think this is 100% the correct sentiment.

But the man is an outright narcissist and has none of the skills needed to govern. He missed a massive opportunity for Greece in 2015 if he took a different tact, and harmed Greece in the process.

He reminds of howard stern. For God's sake even tsipras was more successful than our blabber mouth.<br /><br />However johnis a smart puppet has a roll to play in this theatre.
