DONALD J. TRUMP IS SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL

…Crazy Donald Trump

Donald Trump fits the exact definition of a “Narcissistic Sociopath”.

Donald J. Trump continues to show us how ill he is, and perhaps as he has been most of his life.

Let’s first look at what Trump said about the group of individuals who participated in the Charlottesville riot.  A riot that ended up with one young woman being killed by a mad-man in a car.

Seven individuals were injured when that man plowed his car into the crowd at Charlottesville, and the young woman, Heather Heyer, was killed in what has since been called, a "hate crime".

President Trump tried to say that there were "good people on both sides" in that event, and that the fault needed to be shared by both sides.

Let’s look for any truth in that statement.

Former white supremacists say the violence that broke out in Charlottesville, VA. may be shocking but it’s not surprising given the rise of far-right, white nationalist groups across North America.

“To be honest I was not surprised given the clashes that have gone on with the alt-right and that someone died...that someone was murdered,” said Tony McAleer, a former neo-Nazi.

The white supremacists who were attending their Charlottesville “rally” were all carrying lit Tiki Torches as they chanted: “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and Soil”.

Both of these chants were previously used by Nazi Storm Troopers who were supporting Adolf Hitler in his rise to leading the Third Reich in Germany in the early 1930’s.

Those who were demonstrating against these white supremacists, they were mostly young liberal students who were trying to demonstrate against those who preached hate against anyone that wasn’t part of their cabal.

For proving the president as being totally ill today, we only need to look at his reaction to Joe Biden’s campaign announcement video.  When Joe Biden announced his candidacy via video, he did so by saying that when he heard Trump trying to defend those white supremacists, Biden’s statement was that it convinced him that Trump’s bazaar explanation for the supremacists actions showed that he just had to run against him

After the release of Joe Biden’s video announcement for entering the race, Trump went on national TV saying something that was totally the opposite of what he had said before about the Charlottesville event.  This time, Trump was saying that the white supremacists were marching to only demonstrate about the removing of the statue of a great Southern General, Robert E. Lee.  (Please note that General Robert E. Lee was a traitor to the United States and hundreds of thousands of Americans were slaughtered in a war that General Lee led for southern white men to legally own negro slaves.  In normal times, he would have been hung as a traitor.)

This Trump statement was not even close to his original explanation for the white supremacists march, and it wasn’t anywhere near what Trump had previously repeated multiple times about the event.

The problem is that neither of these statements makes any difference to this president.

He believes whatever he says at the moment, to just to cover his ass, and the fact that it is nonsense is just fine.  And the more you listen to the president, the more you realize that he is so mentally ill that he truly believes whatever he says, even if it is totally the opposite of what he has been recorded saying.  Former different statements don’t matter to such a congenital lying narcissist.

The following is a definition of a Narcissistic Sociopath from the psychologist's trade magazine: Psychology Today:

Narcissistic Sociopaths:  “These individuals share many features with psychopaths including above average intelligence, considerable social savvy, adaptability, likability, and natural skills in manipulation. They are charming, outgoing, pretend interest in people and subjects, and can convincingly fake both sympathy and conscience.  If they engage in charitable acts at all, they are only in pursuit of ancillary selfish benefits. They learn from experience and show no dedication to a set of moral values, religious beliefs, truth, or transparency. If they admire anyone, it is other psychopaths and sociopaths that they wish to emulate. (Such as sociopaths like other authoritarian world leaders.)  

Finally, they are effective liars and show a chilling unconcern for the truth or the welfare of others.  There is one particular skill that is common to both psychopaths and narcissistic sociopaths and it is absolutely essential to their nature: that is cognitive empathy. This is different from emotional (or real empathy, sometimes called "emotional empathy", which is regarded as the ability and tendency to closely identify with the emotional experience of others. 

Narcissistic sociopaths do not have "emotional empathy.”

Does this sound familiar when you think about our president?

I think I rest my case.
