and adding some detail. How do you see the future, that is, how will he handle day to day work of the job?

A psychopath with ADHD plus impulsivity is dangerous and can't be trusted. I am terrified.

MAYBE the 25th Amendment will help.

equally worried.

He is NOT charming, not at all!

I see no charm. His voice and his face are highly irritating. His words are bigoted, ignorant of how government works and mostly about how things help him....not any of us.

Vulgar, obnoxious and stupid - and still thinks he is the most amazing man in the world. I have never seen someone so blind to their own faults. I saw a documentary on him last night where he was telling a crowd "People love me, people just love me!" It made me want to puke.

and wants to be admired as a emperor/king/dictator take your pick.

what strategy can we use to stop this?

I don't think this was a coincidence. I suspect it was orchestrated. Most of our news media is now owned by right-wing billionaires. And supported by their mostly-rightwing corporate buddies through advertising dollars.

he's going to be president. it's just so hard to imagine how much damage he can do.

and poised to be our next president... I am angry that we can do nothing about this horrendous fact...

The biggest thing he has yet to face his own inner issues with any consequence. Yea, maybe he is a sociopath or something else that hard for others to comprehend, but even they eventually get humbled at some point in their life. The best thing is that he is going to be much too busy being a fool at everything else for that to be a problem.

You know they say that most everyone reaches a point where the failure in some part of their life shakes the soul loose so they can understand what life is about. We might get to see that point and i don't worry about it cause i know it will be a bumpy ride no matter what takes place. The world is just a rock spinning in space and it serves all in ways they never anticipated

They are incapable of that feeling. He would instead deflect, accuse, change the subject.

Mostly from what i have observed and studied is that they reserve that type of placement for rather violent and uncontrolled persons and I am pretty sure Mr Trump is not anywhere near that definition

I seems kind of backwards to me at any rate. Dealing with the mind would be Psycho and dealing with groups of people would be Socio. The one sure thing to surmise is that we trying to understand a mind that has predatory tendencies. The shades of gray which says it this way or that way probably ebb and flow even from minute to minute. The other thing is he has shown tendencies that he might have a place in him that carries empathy. This could be a good or bad thing depending how it gets hidden away and frowned on from others around him. Which brings up another thing to wonder about in which he seems kind of impressionable here or there. No doubt in my mind that he a rare bird

He may be the epitome of a sociopath, but they are not rare. I've met a few in my life - was even married to one. They NEVER have that epiphany moment you speak of. There isn't a humble bone in their bodies. They never see themselves as capable of dying because how would the world ever get along without them - they are that great (in their own minds).

to exploit the the things he thought he could and did get away with till this time. What goes on in his head seems more strange than most, he might even be in touch with a multiple personality disorder. At any rate you can be sure he knows something about his issues otherwise that special down time away from others would not be so important to him.

Another facet you might want relate is the issues with reality. He sees the world one way and then sometimes almost everybody else sees it another. Most people with type of issue are not to brazen about it with the rest of the world to see it their way but he is. That comes from the position he has had in society till he got to this point. Yea in many ways its bad, but then again you might understand the fable about the tangled web.

but there is power in numbers, I am not ready to do this

never giving up!! I will fight as long as it takes... just wish an action of mine could make things better sooner than later...

by saying this don't you wish you had powers to just re-erase all this and get us back to normalcy.

It's a staple of talk radio.

I've never, ever liked the salesman type. Reagan literally made my skin crawl when he'd start talking in that snake oil salesman voice.

Other than that, spot on.

But, many are, unfortunately.

the country or the world.

As long as he "wins" he doesn't care how many people he tramples into the ground.

and he doesn't love her, he lusts after her.

Trump felt compelled to tear down the dominant narrative spreading throughout the media that Hillary had actually won the popular vote by more than 2 million more votes and he doesn't really have a mandate, so he deliberately sabotaged and tarnished her popular vote lead.

As you know it's an = opportunity disorder more often identified in females but . . .

From ICD-10


√ shallow and labile affectivity,
√ self-dramatization,
√ theatricality,
√ exaggerated expression of emotions,
√ suggestibility,
√ egocentricity,
√ self-indulgence,
√ lack of consideration for others,
√ easily hurt feelings, and
√ continuous seeking for appreciation, excitement and attention.


Red hats. Need to be "the guy," only one, big kahuna. Obsessive, inappropriate sexuality, constant use of attractive females as props to attempt to make himself look more appealing. Short fucking attention span. Everything listed above.

It's a long-standing habit, as seen in countless photos including this charity golf tournament photo. He knows red pulls the eye, looks "exciting."







Using the placement of beautiful women as display objects to make himself more appealing.



Google "Trump at convention" it's wall-to-wall red ties.

not healthy at all

Then if he says something nice about someone or something, it seems so much more important and sincere and people are bowled over. In other words, he sets the bar so fucking low for himself, that even if he exhibits the smallest shred of human decency, people think he is alright after all.

I'm not a 'shrink,' whatever that is.

I figured him out many months ago....

I m licensed. I don't want to be found.

OK. deal...won't give you away..

It's a consistent trait that he uses over and over.

If someone accuses you of something you know isn't true, it's what they are doing or thinking.

My very critical neighbor who gossips in a mean way about everyone, came over to my house and out of the blue said to me "I don't think you like me". I just turned it around and told her "I think it's you who don't like me." She gave me a look of total confusion and than changed the subject.

How he set up the media and even the Democrats into being forced to publicly declare what a ridiculous idea it was that there is any way the election could be "rigged". ( they had to be dragged kicking into the vote recount)

Or disabled by bad health within 2 years.
The stress will be astronomical.

insomnia, eating fast food and tweeting at 3 a.m. I wonder if that orange color will drain from his face.

when Trump said we should cancel the election and give it to him because he was going to win? He knew then! I thought that was such a bizarre thing to say, unless you're correct. Then it makes sense.

I've also heard Borderline Personality Disorder.

Like Adolf.

But can recognize mental illness fairly well. He is everything you said and more. He doubles down when caught in a lie. He is out of his element now so he will be seeking the approval of the old guard in congress. Meaning he will cajole and acquiesce to whatever they want. The people who thought he was tough are in for a rude awakening. He is a narcissist to the tenth degree.

I am debating sending a letter to the Washington Post but am frankly scared of the consequences.

Do you have Democratic representation you could sent it to?

Washington Post or NY Times. You don't need to submit your name you can be anonymous can't you?

He's a bully with an over-inflated sense of entitlement.

Honestly, I can not fathom why anyone would vote for him

The lunatic argument doesn't hold water with me: I think he's sane as rain: And that the really chilling part:

He knows what the majority of disenfranchised voters want to hear:
It's ok to resent those who are doing better, and it's ok to scapegoat anyone who's doing worse.

This is a mental perspective that relieves weaker people of their own responsibilities: Everything is someone else's fault. Only psychology explains this election.

That is exactly why they will tolerate all of the cognitive dissonances:
He's a womannizer but he's also christian.
He's pro-choice but he's a republican.
He lies about his taxes but he's a straight talker.
He defaults on all his loans but he's a brilliant businessman.
He'll defend their rights to guns but clearly doesn't know about the constitution.

Never mix tequila with Scotch!

The rejection is immediate and violent. It's worse than when someone yells, "He got the worm!!"

When I registered to vote I was required to show proof of citizenship and residency. If my name is not on the rolls I won't be allowed to vote. Did Trump get millions of people to forge birth certificates?

And the voting machines everyone complains about are not connected to the internet so hacking would have to be done on the individual machines or the counting devices at the local level where the votes are counted.

I have never understood how people think this is done on a large scale. I don't think Trump did it anymore than I think she did. Too many people would have to be in on the scam. But then, I think Oswald acted alone so there you have it.

for an inactive voter, perhaps stand-ins could pad the vote count, if the
stand-in could reasonably forge the signature. More likely it was electronic
padding, vote-flipping, remotely, electronically. Impossible? Recall the
devices that LE and ER crews can use to flip or freeze traffic lights in an
emergency. I'm no tech guru, but I'd be quite surprised if such wireless
devices weren't technically feasible.

I've never worked at a polling place but it would seem that precinct totals somehow get handed up to county totals which get handed up to state totals which get handed up to national totals. If somebody (say, in Russia) got an insider's tip on how to gain access to the the totals at a key point along the way maybe the numbers could be fudged.

Before machine voting the counting and handoffs were probably done with pencil and paper over the phone. I used to wonder if (Reaganite) political operatives could be strategically placed at the handoff points to pass along fudged numbers.

for one thing, the vote totals are available to check after the election. As a judge, I also remembered what the final vote tally was for the office I was watching and checked it with our secretary of state's records after the total was tallied.

The Republicans have a scam called Crosscheck with a list of 7.2 million - purged one million off this list.

unless we have some evidence of fraud.

Psychopath is nightmarish shit.

Oh boy .. another night without sleep.

... How many shrinks are there in this country, anyway? I wish more of you would speak up. Evidently half of this country is so gullible that they will buy anything, dazzled by the shell game and the charm. And I know... even if you explain reality to them, they won't believe it.

OK, so we know what a psychopath Trump is (and most Republicans for that matter), but explain why half of our nation can't see him for what he is? That's what I'm having trouble understanding.

K&R

those who voted for him felt they "knew" him yea sure, they will know he will not promise them anything.

An about the health care professionals who are giving their opinions thank you and appreciate your feedback.

Mental Health workers are going to be very busy people and the pharmaceutical companies for the next 4 years. Again, to those who need help reach out to these people they are professionals they are as close as a phone call.

"You can't DO that."

He breaks laws every minute of the day practically and will be in gross violation of the US Constitution when he's sworn in. Yet, nobody says or does a THING about it. WTF good are laws or constitutions they aren't ENFORCABLE?

YOUR'RE FIRED!!!!!!!

Mr. tRump is wiping his backside with the Constitution.

Thanks - that is exactly on point

started the yammering about the rigging.

You stole my thunder. Charming? Hardly.

contradict your conclusions.

for the Washington Post and other journalists to sit at a round table with experts in psychopathy. Journalists need to
understand what they are dealing with.

it is so nice to hear a mental health professional give their opinion on this horrible man.

Thank you

Many of Trump's voters are like him. They are now going to see just what he thinks of them. He has backed off many of the promises he made to them. He has not drained the swamp. He has put some very dangerous RWNJs in his cabinet. Will those that need the programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ObamaCare) he plans to dismantle join the rest of us in fighting him? One woman who has Medicaid expansion in KY still wants to keep it even though Trump is planning on taking it away from millions. When she was asked about Trump and his plans, her answer was that I always vote repub. Well lady, you are now going to see the repub party of hate towards us in full bloom.

for Trump!
