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 PROFOUND EMPTINESS OF PIERE POILIEVRE by Bill lee

“You take the lies out of him, and he’ll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he’ll disappear.” - Mark Twain. There has never been any very substantial evidence that Pierre Poilievre is an even moderately well-rounded human being, or someone with even a modicum of depth. What he clearly is, is a career politician with no experience of, and no apparent interest in, life outside of the narrow, dark recesses of the CPC caucus room; i.e., he’s a pure political operator. Though that is something, let’s be honest, it is not a whole lot, at least if one wants to become an authentic political leader. At this point however he is becoming (has become?) a completely plastic image created by the gang of back-room boys whose task it is to construct something that looks like a leader. Whether what they have rendered in PP is, or even looks like, a leader however is questionable. Good leaders (never mind great ones) have an ability to, and interest in, showing an unders...

Gun Violence and Bigotry, Due South & in Canada

Bill Lee August 24, 2019 Trump in his Florida speech asked how “these people” could be “stopped”. Someone among the crowd shouted, “Shoot them!” At first laughing, Trump responded, "That's only in the [Florida] panhandle, can you get away with that statement. [1] Given the obscene number of deaths from mass shootings in the USA recently it is probably not surprising that some of the old "rationales" have been taken off the shelf and dusted off. One GOP “legislator” has opined that there is a link to the spread and consumption of violent video games. Leaving aside that this is an exceedingly tired trope that has never been proven, there are a couple of others that clearly have much greater power as explanations. It is not, for example a fanciful notion that high capacity automatic weapons are a more likely link. [2] But there is another issue that really deserves much more full attention. When, oh when will the denizens political class, the media, a...
