(12,098 posts)1. That's just a symptom of his "power pschosis" mental illness
Delusions of never being held accountable goes along with his delusions of grandeur, delusions of infallibility, and delusions of having unlimited power. Malignant narcissism is a personality disorder, even in such an extreme case, but power psychosis involves detachment from reality, and it is therefore a mental illness.

When Schumer and Jeffries briefly met with him, he had no idea what they were talking about. And he certainly is delusional, what we regard as lying is the truth for him, prices are down and he has the power to close down Venezuela's airspace.
