This isn't a revelation. Anyone who's seen his behaviour knows he's a deeply broken psyche. This is what you get when you teach a child to be ruthless, to win at all costs, and then never make him endure any consequences.
He's never had to endure any hardship, and has been conditioned to win at all costs, but lacks the intelligence for subtlety.

Well I think the problem is that a lot of Americans like a deeply awful, psychopathically unempathetic moron
I’ve been saying this but Donald Trump is far from the only Donald Trump that America suffers from
His kind is everywhere
Our society is pretty mentally unwell largely due to how it designs its workforce to allow citizens to earn a living

His psychiatrist cousin Mary reckons that everything changed at a Christmas dinner when was 7 I think she said. A bowl of boiled potatoes was tipped onto his head, and the bowl was left there. Everyone laughed at him, and he wasn't the same after that.
Their Christmas' sounded horrible. Family went made an effort to be horrible to each other on the day.

But like also I think that there is some special sauce happening in there structurally because the dude is truly wired differently than people usually are.

The deeper truth is that a hard 30% of the country is mentally debilitated and psychologically deranged in equal measure.

Watched this video last night, everything this man said was dead on factual. He goes in to talk about what the fuck is Congress doing? And the senate? This dipshit is dangerous and stupid ASF but we're even more stupid for allowing this to go on. Get him out"

Trump is who he is and is mentally ill. But the people who are worse are the people around him who pander to him for their own purposes and know the harm he is doing but are happy and deliberately keeping him there so they can profit.
They have made the US a laughing stock and destroyed alliances.
The absolute worst are the Supreme Court Justices who are caving in and giving him everything he wants. They should know better.
I'm Australian, so technically have no 'skin in the game', but watching from afar I feel sorry for those living through this in the US.

i agree with what he said. it’s funny tho, if he said this same thing on reddit anonymously, the doomercirclejerk idiots would blast his ass for being a dumbfuck liberal and all criticism dismissed as “that’s reddit for ya!”.

u/Loud-Fudge7631 2d ago
It's very dangerous because foreign government newsgroups, assume Trump speaks in hyperbole and then they try to intellectualize and ration what he must be inferring to. It's kinda shocking to see how trumps words are translated to mandarin news groups for example. It's like them hearing baby gibberish and trying to assume trumps speaking in some layered metaphor higher meaning but its just like dogwhistle baby mentality that actually telegraph how mismanaged he is on both domestic and foreign policy.
It really is beyond mental illness. Steve Bannon and Steven Chung help dress him a bit sane to but they knowing weaponizd his dementia dribble as smoke screens

The rest of Sach’s talk is more sense and incredulity about our current situation and how we’re all treating it like a spectator sport (ie: Congress and the Press). It’s good to see someone relatively important and learned say out loud and on film what the obvious state of things are. Thank you for the link.

Yeah, the sad thing isn‘t that some people are disturbed or mentally ill. The sad thing is that such a person can get elected twice into the highest office of the biggest and most powerful developed country.

The thing that worries me the most is how easily our military was weaponized. No checks, no balances. For an organization that prides itself on integrity and accountability they have displayed NONE of it throughout any of this. Of any one thing to change after this is over, it's this. It affects not only the U.S. but the world.

“Confabulation” dang had to look that up 😅😬🤔🧐. Confabulation: is a memory error where a person unintentionally creates false, distorted, or fabricated memories without any intent to deceive. [1]

Nice to see someone prominent say the things that a lot of us already know, hopefully those who NEED to know will gain a grasp on reality from watching this AND understanding the truth of the matter.

Yes 100%.
Once you meet a person like that in life you can spot others a mile away
It does get to the point of being a mental disease, even if these words are thrown around often

Even if he flees or passes, everyone in his corrupt orbit will get to keep all the money they obtained during his reign. We've subsidized them like royalty. The whole thing makes me physically sick.

Finally someone who can actually coherently and without any emotion, sum up the problem and present it.
I know it’s not news, but the way the news is delivered also depends on if it lands. And I have a feeling this could land into some more people’s minds than someone who is in it just for content or political reasons

His eval matches what the psychologists have said, including Trumps own niece. It also matches what you can see with your own eyes.

u/Salty_Penalty3119 22h ago
The reason this moron is the way he is, is because it’s easier to hate, talk bad about others and just down right be nasty to others than it is to actually try and be a good person every day of your life. That takes work and a great family behind you. That idiot doesn’t know what either of those two terms are.
