THE PATHOLOGIES OF DONALD J. TRUMP AND THE DANGERS THEY POSE


KIMBERLY IANAROi
 
September 22, 2020

A person doesn’t need a whole lot of training, like the training, the Don’s niece, clinical psychologist Mary Trump, PhD. (2020) has for example, to figure that the President of the United States is a very disturbed individual, an insecure narcissist with a very large mean streak.

I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist. I am a nurse with critical care, addiction and mental health specialties. I've been screaming this for years. The man is a malignant, narcissistic sociopath with features of borderline personality disorder. As such, holding the power of the presidency of the USA, he is the most dangerous, devious, sly, clever, (I did not say smart, I said sly and clever, very different qualities) underhanded creature on the planet. Think the likes of Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dalhmer, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc, etc, etc, on steroids. And this is a man, who can't stand any perceived slight or criticism or disagreement from his insane view of himself, the country or the world.

A man who can be bought with a kind word of flattery, a "lovely letter" from the despot of the moment, who embraces QAnon cause "they like me very much". A man who follows Putin's orders because he and his family were stupid enough to think that the Russian money that they've been taking for a decade came with no strings attached. A man who thought that Putin's obvious assistance to help him win the Presidency was just because "he says nice things about me", "he likes me". He is a man who “forgets” every damaging, illegal activity he has ever done with, or while in, Russia and other countries and of course on his home turf of NYC.He is a man who thinks no one collected dirt on him; basically, he is a man inexperienced on how that world works. He is a man who does not understand that he is a small fish in a vast ocean of intrigue, scheming and back room dealings.He is a man who thinks everything is about him, that the sun revolves around him. He is a man who thinks of himself as a king, not a president. "I am the chosen one", "I am the King of the Jews" he shouts. In fact, it has become clear that he is, by every standard, a volatile, impulsive, easily manipulated, vindictive, vengeful, petty, crude, classless, careless, willfully ignorant, stupid man.

He acts like a three-year old child who is suffering from severe ADHD. He takes responsibility for only the things that have been achieved, almost always by others, Barrack Obama for example, and none for the stupid mistakes and unforced errors he has so often made, the fiasco with North Korea for example.

But most dangerous of all of course, is that Donald J. Trump, with all his pathologies is not simply a malign delusional septuagenarian, is a malign delusional septuagenarian who has nukes.

But the people that have paid, and will pay the greatest price for his reckless, heedless selfish behaviour are not himself or his family, or his GOP abetters, or the boot lickers, like Pompeo and the departed but not lamented Kelly Anne Conway, in his inner circle.

It is and will be the people of the USA, particularly the most vulnerable, and of the world in general – there are those nukes. Yep, all and all, I would say we are in the deepest shit this country has EVER had the misfortune to be stewing in.

Let that sink in a while.

HOW THE COVID PANDEMIC HAS CHANGED PANHANDLING by Jim Ward

Panhandling, i.e., begging for small change on the street, has been under considerable threat since the coming of Covid. Of course, the practice has been under threat before whenever the good burgers of some city find that the poor have resorted to “inconveniencing” the public and they feel the “moral” need to criminalize it. But Covid is causing different constraints. In these times very few people carry cash with them. In fact, many retailers will not accept cash, since it may well be ‘dirty money’. The term panhandling had its origins, so I’m told, during an economic depression in the United States in the late 19th century. That depression hit the panhandle area of northern Texas particularly hard and it caused many workers to head to New York City, where the ‘Buddy can you spare a dime?’ request was given birth. The practitioners of this art became known as the panhandlers. Back in the early 1970s I conducted studies of panhandling approaches in six North American cities, one of th...

THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET: THE FATAL ERROR OF INDIVIDUALISM by Bill Lee

  I suspect I am not alone in remembering that I was taught in high school English class that Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Hamlet, was about a man who simply could not make up his mind to take action and get vengeance for the murder of his father. The lesson that Shakespeare was laying down for us, we were told, was that Hamlet dithered, was indecisive, and that his failure to act decisively led to his own downfall and the death of others. But that was, and is, a superficial reading of the play. I had the opportunity while at university in Houston, of studying under, and knowing, a very perceptive English professor and my mentor, who helped his students understand the real tragedy. It is one that has never left me and a teaching that I urge all of us to think about. What we learned in that English class was that the real tragedy of Hamlet was more social and political than personal. It was not simply that he was indecisive but that, more importantly, he refused to acknowledge and u...

Bleak Times for Trump’s USA? by Bill Lee

“If we don’t put a stake into the heart of this administration, there  may not be an election in 2028.” Gavin Newsom, Governor of California The news from the US of A about the wild and weird pronouncements and actions of the abhorrent individual sitting in the most powerful seat in the land, DJ Trump, is bleak. There is his destructive mania for imposing tariffs on every nation in the world: his corrupt attempt to block public knowledge of the truth of the sordid matter of the Epstein files; his racist hatred of Brown and Black people and his inhumane policy of arresting them willy nilly and illegally deporting many; his war on the hard won rights of women and other minorities; his ignoring of court orders (he owns a more or less corrupt Supreme Court); his impossible and unhinged comments on wanting Canada to become the 51st state of the USA; and his increasingly wacky and garbled speech, are only the most recent concerns. But probably the most dangerous of his right-wing campaig...
