Trump's psychiatric diagnoses

[Badger]

Everyone already knows that Trump is one of the biggest narcisists the world has ever seen and that his brain for at least the last couple of 2-3 years have shown clear signs of dementia. What is in some ways even more alarming, cause it's hardly not talked about at all is this: Yesterday, when I was trying to educate myself about the multitude of personality disorders out there (it's said that 10-15% of the population has one of several, including myself, which is why I did the search in the first place), I came across this truely amazing Wikipedia description about anti-social personality disorder:

"Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feelings of others. Individuals with this personality disorder will typically have no compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure and frequently manipulate and deceive other people, achieving this through wit and a façade of superficial charm or through intimidation and violence. They may display arrogance, think lowly and negatively of others, and lack remorse for their harmful actions and have a callous attitude to those they have harmed. Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder: they can have significant difficulties in maintaining their social and financial obligations, and people with this disorder often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles."

While I was reading it I kept telling myself; this is not 97%, 98% or 99% the description of Trump, this actually fits him perfectly in every possible way, bottom up. There's not a single word that doesn't fully translate into the Trumpian personality. So scary in every way, yet at the same time comforting, cause at least now we have (one more) diagnosis.

I'll add to this.

"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder with a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.[2][3] Those affected often spend a lot of time thinking about achieving power or success, or on their appearance.[3] They often take advantage of the people around them.[3] The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a variety of social situations."

Now there's the ticket.

Goldwater Rule. Also what does it say about the Democratic Party that they lost to a mentally ill man because 52% of the country didn't like the candidate they ran? Or the fact the supposedly mentally ill man's party won anyway.

It says two things most people already knew. First, Clinton was a Damage Done popular candidate in part due to her own feelings, but also magnified by literally over 25 years of right-wing media beating a drum about her being the devil incarnate. Secondly, and more importantly, the Electoral College sucks, as Hillary still won the popular vote by almost 3 million people.

No as the President said, he and his team worked on an Electoral College oriented strategy. Had the strategy been to win the popular vote the President would've campaigned for the popular vote. The Republican Party also won the House popular vote, despite the hysterics of the Left over the President.

The Democrats lost to this man and couldn't even win Congress. And if they are claiming the President is mentally ill, and could neither beat the President or check him in the event he won, it suggests that the electorate correctly concluded two things. (1) the President is not mentally ill; and (2) The Left was worse than electing a mentally ill man, assuming he was such.

Neither reflect well on your side.

Oh, I see. Trump totally completely could have and would have won the popular vote if he wanted to, but instead he specifically chose to forgo winning a yuge popular vote margin so he could quite intentionally squeak out a 1% win in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Got it. How clever of him.

Hardly anyone short of Jay fern is going to say other than Clinton was a horribly flawed candidate who is probably the only person who could have lost to Trump. I say, though, that it actually says far far far worse about the 45% or so of trump voters. There are a handful of former Obama supporters who were desperate enough 2 fall for mister New York tax cheat billionaire promising economic Justice 4 blue collar industrial workers--you know, the stuff your party adamantly runs against and you disapprove of mightily in economic policy? Just like your boy Coolidge? The worst that can be said about them is summed up in my signature line. However, it says far far far worse about the 40-some percent of Hardcore Republicans who would gladly adopt this Psychopaths as president because stopping Hillary, winning domination of the Judiciary, and getting high income tax cuts are more important than the country's stability.

No Chuckles. This failure is electing  a bona fide case of narcissistic personality disorder  as POTUS  is solely on you and your ilk. Not mine. The fact that there are such a large percentage of Americans who would be willing to do so, again, since far far more and far far worse about the Republican Party nationally than it does about the Democrats.

It's you & yours failure. At least have the stones to own it.

Yes, indeed, the President and his canpaign decided to go for an inside straight while Hillary decided to ignore the Midwest. Yes, I agree, the President was quite clever. That's why he's called President Trump.

I have no idea of the point you made or whatever you were trying to convey but I think Republicans are happy the President is standing up for America's economy and is working to deregulate, cut taxes, and challenge America's economic adversaries like China. GOP orthodoxy is being enacted with a few tweaks, by and large.

Indeed, aside from the hysteria demonstrated by an increasingly deranged and unhinged Left that seemingly injects themselves with every fresh Trump inspired uproar, the country is doing very well, thank you. Our stability is fantastic and we are, as the President says, making America Great Again.

The very very easy to Grass point is that Trump did not choose to lose the popular vote by nearly 3 million. He did so because he is a justifiably divisive and dishonest and unpopular person. The Electoral College sucks and is anti-democratic far more than Trump is clever.

Trump is literally mentally ill in a manner that pervades every aspect of his presidency, and you accept it because he gives you tax cuts and conservative judiciary.

Like I said, not off Hitler supporters parched in Torchlight parades.
