The president first took ownership of the government shutdown, and then shifted blame to the democrats. Then he gave false accounts of where and how most drugs are coming into the country. He also grossly exaggerated numbers of everything, as well as the threat of central American caravans. Then he threatened declaring a state of national emergency. And more recently he proclaimed that wall funding had already been allocated by Congress and major wall construction is already underway. Referencing all this, one pundit referred to all these communication inconsistencies and obfuscations as “word salad.”
I never realized that the description “word salad” was listed in the dictionary, but I found it in my I-Pad Dictionary app.
“Incoherent speech consisting of both real and imaginary words, lacking comprehensive meaning…”
Google the phrase, and you find three related health conditions: (1) Schizophrenia, (2) Disorganized Schizophrenia, and (3) Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Number 3 especially caught my attention: “A disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-importance. Symptoms may include grandiosity, disregard for others’ feelings, and excessive need for admiration.”
Word salad leadership is dangerous anywhere you find it. You might want to listen to the 2019 state of the union address with this in mind.

Word salad indeed. But what salad dressing would one put on Trump’s state of the disunion speech and his narcissistic personality disorder?
