George on MSNBC just now "trump can't conceive that he's done something wrong"

[Iwasthere]

That he really simply believes what he says. That is frightening.

[coti]

1. I don't think Trump understands the ideas of ethics or misuse of power, at all nt

[C_U_L8R]

2. Trump creates his own reality.

I’m no doctor but that sure sounds like a serious psychological sickness. He’s simply not fit... for office or anything really.

[lagomorph777]

3. Nonsense. He demonstrates consciousness of guilt many times per day.

Every time he obstructs a subpoena, he highlights one more piece of evidence or witness that proves his guilt.

[unblock]

7. he knows it's something he needs to hide or obstruct or corrupt.

i don't care if he doesn't recognize the concept of him being "guilty" or having "done something wrong".

there have been serial killers who have felt they were not merely not in the wrong, but thought they were actually doing the right thing by killing people. doesn't matter. intentionally killing people is usually quite illegal, and just because your dog told you to do it doesn't mean it isn't wrong.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. I don't think he sees it as wrong or right...

He sees it as whether it might embarass or harm his rep.

[Caliman73]

17. Agreed. His sense of what is right and wrong do not exist as in typical people.

He does not seem to consider anything other than if he gains or loses, and if his reputation is increased or diminished. Whether he hurts or helps anyone only matters in relation to the former two concepts.

[unblock]

4. more accurately, he doesn't believe in the concept of "he's done something wrong"

he believes he's entitled to do anything he can get away with.

as such, there *is* no "he's done something wrong".

there's either he's done something that he can get away with, or other people (by definition, evil/traitors/liberals/etc.) have prevented him from doing something he should be entitled to do.

right vs. wrong and legal vs. illegal and so on are concepts that only apply to other people, as far as donnie is concerned.



he most certainly does believe that he's done plenty of things that would be illegal if other people had done them.
he most certainly does believe that he's done plenty of things that he needs to hide and witness tamper and spin wildly in order to get away with.

i don't care if he doesn't think of that as him having "done something wrong" or not.
he damn well knows he needs to cover it up to get away with it, and goes a long way to establishing criminal intent.

[LuvLoogie]

5. Bullshit. The fuckwad is a grifter bigot criminal on purpose.

He's fucked up and stunted emotionally, but he's no misunderstood teenager. Fuck that criminal supremacist.

[moondust]

6. God complex.

I've called it that many times but I'm not a shrink.

A god complex is an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility.

[unblock]

10. yeah, massively overprivileged.

he's had a lifetime of getting away with things that other people couldn't possibly get away with.

why wouldn't he think he could get away with shooting someone on 5th avenue?

he solicited help from russia to win an election right out in the open on tv and was rewarded with the oval office.
there was an investigation and he got away with it without much of a scratch.

of course he thinks the whole concept of "done something wrong" doesn't apply to him.

there's never a real consequence for his wrongdoing.

[uponit7771]

12. +1,he's called himself the chosen one

[Mme. Defarge]

8. I know his aunt

and will tell her to straighten him out.

[Skittles]

13. bullshit

he just cannot conceive of being held accountable

[Docreed2003]

14. Perhaps

But I think it's just as likely that he truly believes that since he is "President" he can do no wrong. He believes that he has ultimate power.

[brettdale]

15. Trumps mindset

[beachbumbob]

16. Trump never learn what wrong is, and should not be a surprise to

any of us.

[chowder66]

18. Bullshit. He said he was "f*cked", he throws out red meat and steals the headlines

Every single person who disagrees with him gets lambasted by him.
He lies all day long, tries different strategies when he's busted on something.

He knows what he's doing. He just plays dumb for those who will buy that bull. Conway is obviously one of those that buys this.

[liberal N proud]

19. One has to have a moral compass to convince right from wrong
