4. Have to agree here, not mentally ill

Even though it might be nice to think of Trump as nuts, he is not. What he has is a severe, untreated, narcissistic personality disorder. And of course, several sub disorders that go along with it. So how did he become the person he is? Simple. His money, power, status, and of course his white skin insulated him from the problems a regular person would suffer with his disorder. If he was an average person, with average money, he would have found functioning in society very difficult. Employers would have fired him, women would not have wanted him, people would have seen him as a jerk and stayed away from him. He would not have been welcome in social gatherings, because who would want this asshole over to your house? His disorders would have left him isolated, broke, a failure. This might have driven him to treatment. None of that happened. He's never had a job working outside the family business. People have kissed his ass his entire life to be near his money. Women have given themselves to him for his cash and the power he holds. So to him, nothing is wrong. He's the best! He rules! He wins! And he does win. He's a con man, and ignorant, and a bigot, and unfit for office. Yet here he is, the leader of the free world. He is what he is, and will never change. Why should he? He won. He's the first to tell you that. Voters fell for a manufactured TV and book image of him as a wise and powerful businessman. They wanted to believe the myth. Everyday on the campaign trail he showed who he really was. Millions voted for him anyway. Now as President, voters and pundits are shocked. What, he is a huge shit stain unfit for office? Who knew? We can only hope the country survives.

waste of time. He's abusive, not mentally ill. Just get him out of office based on other reasons. electron_blue Aug 2017 #1
