Understood.

But being a horrible actor, a lousy orator and playing to his voter base doesn't particularly scream pathological. Nor, sadly, the political status quo of lying, over exaggeration, misdirection and braggadocio. Politicians are nothing more than used car salesmen selling themselves to the public. If the common people think these make one unstable maybe we should collectively, as a nation of Americans without the trappings of political affiliation, reconsider the caliber of the people we put into office. Americans are so divided and polarize along party lines probably nothing short of a national catastrophe could bring us to that point now.

Interesting point and sadly quite true, I wonder at what point these politicans have sold their soul, what has happened to the foundation of our country to where a person of such horrible character is elected to lead, this calls into question the whole process to me anyway

I am making this diagnose based on what I see and read so yes it is one sided, he is a horrible actor then and no he hasn't handled anything well, in fact he looks like a idiot whenever he speaks And no my past experience doesn't play into this except to remind of that past horrible experience.

Interesting take, Joanna. 

Im taking it we're going by the book, The DSM-5, for clarity  of NPD.


Overall, Let me counter with this  thought since you seem to be the only one replying who hasn't sacrificed his/her soul and God given ability to think rationaly, or beholdened to  political dogma and what looks to be sophmoric  propaganda of the OP.

Have you considered the way Trump acts, least publicly, is due in part of him being an eccentric billionaire businessman and he just might be guilty of being a little  over-the-top  with his political showmanship from being a TV personality for 13(?) years, plus appearing in almost 2 dozen movies?  These two attributes alone could explain away  the way he behaves,  are you sure your not projecting your past experiences with someone with NPD  onto him?  Confusing theatrics for  personality disorders?


Have you observed Trump within a private , casual non-political setting, perferrably with the camera's off?  Anybody?   If not, I think it would be a little premature, if not outright  dangerous to extrapolate Trumps  on screen  personna that he shows us and make broad generalizations of his so called   "disorders" without taking in all the known factors, some which we are not privy to. This is why Dr's are not allowed to make diagnosis without  in-person patient exams- usually over an extended time.


This is Trumps first time in politics, ever, and he landed what some people would consider one the most high pressure jobs on the planet. This isn't some Jr varsity seat in the House of Representatives. Personally, I think he has handled the situation very well all things considered, even if I do think he is only a mediocre President at best.

Earlier I said he has NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, what other rational proof is required just look at the guy. My opinion of why I think this is because he has most of the symptoms/criteria that comes with it. Also based on personal experience in being in a relationship with one. It is really difficult to diagnose as most see no problems with their behavior, ie thinking they are always right, constantly lying, cheating on spouse/significant other, never apologizing, dude come on he is a freakin burden to society and needs banned from society. 2 things in life I hope to God nobody has to experience in life is 1. Addiction to drugs/alcohol, 2. Being involved with a narcissist, evil, horrible creatures worse than a psychopath

Just for you, from NOLA

A Gretna police officer posted a comment on his Facebook page this week calling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "vile idiot" who "needs a round, and I don't mean the kind she used to serve."

The comment, which alludes to the freshman representative's past work as a New York City bartender while apparently saying she should be shot, comes amid increasing scrutiny of racist and violent social media posts by police officers in departments across the country.

Charlie Rispoli, who has been on the Gretna police force since 2005, could not be reached for comment, but Chief Arthur Lawson called the post "disturbing" when it was shown to him Friday.

So why would some cop from shtsville Louisiana give a dang about a freshman congressperson from the Borough of Queens in far away New York City?
Crazy

Because those type of people have logic and common sense, I think that's against the law
Yep.

Exactly but remember if we talk against him we are either liberals or conservatives,  funny that we can't be just independents who may like a few views of either side.

People you won't see at Trump rallies, all verified as being true.

+1 for the hyperbole.


Joanna, I know you sleep with the DSM-5 under your pillow and you couldn't find the time to name a specific disorder. Obviously no rational proof behind this assumption is given...but not even an opinion of why you think this?

Good Grief.
