Most clinically notable is the sustained perseverative focus on this single grievance while Hurricane Maria had devastated Puerto Rico four days earlier, leaving 3.4 million U.S. citizens without power. This prioritization pattern—narcissistic injury over humanitarian crisis—is consistent with the narcissistic personality organization's characteristic inability to sustain attention on matters that do not directly implicate the self.
