Trump is a Psychopath

The president of the United States is a psychopath. This is not about his policies — although lord knows, they will kill millions of people before he is through.

This is about Donald Trump himself — the putrid, malignant soul that occupies his broken-down body. The sick mind that, without our increasingly loosened guard rails, would conjure up a gulag or wherever autocrats like him send those they hate, usually without any real basis.

He is rotting from the inside and under his leadership, so is our nation.

The movie director Rob Reiner was brutally stabbed to death last night. So was his wife of over thirty-five years, Michele. Their adult son has been arrested for the crime. By any stretch of the imagination, this is an awful tragedy.

Why did he even have to say anything about this? He could have just kept his mouth shut, but who am I kidding? He turned around and made it all about himself like he always does. Once again, we are talking about him……..just what he wants.

I asked my doctor in 2003 what the definition of a sociopath. He said that half of our government are sociopaths. A sociopath does know right from wrong but chooses to be a monster in many ways.

I was told that a sociopath can possibly change their behavior if they are deeply committed to getting better. It is difficult and takes years of dedicated therapy, time and energy as well as money.

A psychopath, on the other hand, has a physical inclination to commit horrible acts without guilt or shame. It is in their brain and no amount of therapy, etc will ever be able to do anything about this physical, mental illness.

A sociopath has a chance at changing and a psychopath has no chance.

permission of the GOP and others.

His Reiner comment won't publicly and immediately move the GOP to behave any differently. However, I would HOPE that these obviously sick comments will allow MSM, pundits, journalists, analysts, and dem officials to say that it's not just outrageous behavior outside of norms but to be more honest and objective to the point of examining if this guy is disordered, sociopathic, and deeply mentally ill

How can this not be discussed openly and not just on youtube videos and message boards??

But he is not the problem, he is the symptom of the problem.

The problem is the tens of millions of Magas who put him in power. He will be gone sooner or later, but they will remain, and that could be a tough one to solve.

…on a strategy to mobilize the racist and fascist underbelly of America. He is clearly too stupid to do this on his own. Relative to his political maneuvers at Putin’s behest all his other scams were penny ante. All that we have seen over the last 10 years is Putin’s doing.

tributes are coming in from a wide variety of people for Rob Reiner, for example from James Woods

many people who may not have agreed with Reiner politically were fans of his amazing work, and the issue involving addiction and mental health strikes home with a staggering number of families in America
