1. Narcissistic sociopath

[orangecrush]

10. Respectfully disagree

He is way, WAY beyond that.

[Jilly_in_VA]

27. Mental illness and dementia

are NOT mutually exclusive. I've seen it before, many times. Just not in a seat of power. He needs to be 25th Amendmented NOW.

[Dr. T]

42. It's called dementia-related psychosis.

Sadly, I know this term from watching too much television. It's listed as a side effect on one of the insufferable drug commercials.

[dalton99a]

2. Yep. And he has the entire U.S. government at his beck and call to help commit and cover up his crimes

[gohuskies]

3. Orange Caligula will eventually FAFO

Unfortunately that monster is willing and able with support of his sociopathic sycophants to burn the country to the ground. Hoping his steady diet of Mickey D's will take him out soon.

[Grim Chieftain]

4. He proves each and every day he's demented

and yet no one does anything about it. He's there, in the seat of power, making "decisions", implementing policies, suing people who dare to offend his fragile ego, and no one does a damn thing about it.

[rampartd]

16. he may be less in charge of anything than he wants us to think

the game plan must be to make him responsible for destroying everything and then dump him.

[orangecrush]

33. That may be what we're seeing right now

[Bev54]

48. He has been demented all his life, from his history. The fact that he is a rapist and pedophile is proof he is not

right in the head.

[Gaugamela]

5. This is the spiral that leads to mass suicide a la Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite of Heaven's Gate.

But this delusional sewer clown has the nuclear codes at his disposal.

[MarcoZandrini]

47. But Herr Drumpfenfuror.....

…..will charge for the kool aid.

[Gaugamela]

55. Very true.

[popsdenver]

60. Three elderly psychopaths

are in control of an un-fathomable nuclear arsenal.......Trump, Putin, Netanyahu..............

AND, if ever confronted with losing control, each of them are independently of the mindset of...... "I'll Show All Of You Assholes"...........the far right religious, and evangelicals will get their life's dream.......the "Apocalypse"

[xocetaceans]

6. But has he made Melania a Senator (that would be close enough to a consul, I suppose) yet? n/t

[Fullduplexxx]

7. Whatever can he just drop dead already

[Mr. Evil]

8. A spoiled rotten little rich kid

that never matured beyond the age of 12. Raised by an avowed racist slumlord. He literally believes he's the smartest person on the planet when in reality it's the exact opposite. And, the ultra morons (MAGA doofus idiots) that voted for and still worship him are living, breathing, talking examples of the Dunning Kruger effect in real time.

[Jilly_in_VA]

29. 12? Please.

Every single one of my grandkids, even the most disadvantaged one, was more mature at 12 than he is. I'd peg him at about age 4. IF that!

[Mr. Evil]

31. I actually agree with you but,

it's the schoolyard bully, name-calling rhetoric he uses that reminds me of 6th grade level bullies.

[Hekate]

9. Help me out with the source on this please. I clicked the link to the image, and got the image...

Everything seems to lead to an image, not an article or anything with an author and some kind of journalistic source. In gray print on black background the name Pawlowski Mario appears, and that’s it.

[orangecrush]

12. That's probably intentional

Wish I knew more.

I saw the meme on Bluesky but the link wouldn't work.

[WarGamer]

15. "mario" is a content creator on X with lots of time on his hands apparently

[Hekate]

17. Well, hurray for mario. I'm moving on from this diagnosis.

[orangecrush]

36. Seems like an accurate one

But that's just my take.

[orangecrush]

21. Meaning?

[progressoid]

11. I'm just as worried about the cult members as the leader.

[orangecrush]

14. That's probably why he didn't go to prison

Which turned out to be a mistake.

[ZDU]

13. The Lunatics...

18. Well said, and so true.

Now compound it with late stage dementia
and it gets so insane nobody can really
make policy with it.. just destruction that
gets worse and worse.

[Mike 03]

19. Maybe this is what it was like during the Tang Dynasty in China, when so many

Taoist emperors went mad from drinking lead-, arsenic- and mercury-infused elixirs that they thought would allow them to live forever.

[orangecrush]

22. Great example

[lildDemz]

56. Trump's followers

and appointees aren't being tested, but...

[allegorical oracle]

20. Interesting psychological study on djt's voter fan base

A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion. The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology. The research was recently published in the Journal of Research in Personality.

The researchers conducted the study to better understand the psychological traits that underlie political ideology, particularly support for Donald Trump and conservative beliefs. Prior work had already linked conservative ideology with right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance, but the researchers hypothesized that malevolent personality traits might also play a role—especially given Trump’s rhetoric and behavior, which often display dominance, callousness, and disregard for social norms.

“This paper was several years in the making, starting as a result of the 2016 election, and was designed to address why some people might view favorably a political figure with a history of business failures, bankruptcies, misogynistic statements caught on video, use of charity money for a self-portrait, etc,” explained study author Craig Neumann, a Regents Professor of Psychology at the University of North Texas.

23. Not surprised

The consequences of a deteriorating underfunded public education system along with family supporting jobs outsourced by the millions with entire towns ripe for the nationalism of facism.

[DBoon]

37. making it in one's self interest to avoid these people

[chowder66]

24. "He's trying to feel worship". That is the most perfect description I've seen.

It is exactly what was on full display with the World Cup fiasco.

[orangecrush]

34. Totally psycho move

[allegorical oracle]

51. Problem djt has is that he believes his own BS. Actually believes that he's a saintly

figure -- divinely chosen to lead. (Messiah complex.) Especially after surviving the Pa. shooting.

[Blue Owl]

25. One of the most accurate explanations of our current state of affairs

[C_U_L8R]

26. Can we skip forward to the Kool-Aid party?

Step towards the light, magats.

[Nigrum Cattus]

30. 100% right wing religious extremism

he got 32% of registered voters and that is pathetic.

[Wounded Bear]

32. Death of a Salesman meets the Madness of King George...

[orangecrush]

35. Perfect analogy

[Wounded Bear]

38. ...and we're living through it...wish we could just get up and leave, but I know I can't...nt

[orangecrush]

40. Stuck here too.

It sucks.

[Orrex]

39. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[pbmus]

41. Politics has become entertainment

And the orange Mussolini is running the show

[Mystery To Me]

43. Wow!

Way to say it. Throwing gas and screaming hallelujah.

[3catwoman3]

44. From post #20 - a new study

"...people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion."

The phrase, "No shit, Sherlock," comes to mind. I don't think one needs a doctoral degree in psychology, or the results of a years' long study to come to this conclusion.

[orangecrush]

46. It is professional confirmation

Of the obvious, at least.

[calimary]

49. Works for me.

Sounds like a perfect fit.

[Jkanad]

50. I hear you but ...

I truly don’t understand why so many think he’s nuts. I think he’s just a mean and evil cult leader with lots of followers willing to do his bidding.

[orangecrush]

52. A sane criminal would just grab as much money as possible

This guy and his tech bro backers are completely delusional and believe they can enslave the American people.

"A psychotic loop, in the context of mental health, refers to a cycle of worsening psychotic symptoms, often driven by a feedback loop involving brain activity and symptom severity. It's not a formal diagnostic term but rather a concept describing how psychotic experiences can intensify and perpetuate themselves. "

[republianmushroom]

53. Nails it.

[Dave Bowman]

54. Yep, emperor bone-spur has no clothes and a rotten brain.

[pansypoo53219]

57. no whim left behind.

[orangecrush]

58. ...

[markodochartaigh]

59. "Trump

has officially entered the psychotic emperor phase."


In his mind he has been there all along.

[Aussie105]

61. Next: Trump tries to keep the tide out.

[Jack Valentino]

62. The entire cult is not "with him" anymore---

when they see him refusing to release the 'Epstein files',
and those who understand that their Medicaid and Snap
will be cut off in 2027.....


I don't expect most of those people to "vote Democrat",
but a few of them will....

I expect MORE of them to fail to vote at all,
since Trump won't be on the ballot anymore,
and he isn't giving them any good reason to show up to vote
for Republican candidates......

(and plenty of reasons for Democrats and independents to show up
to vote AGAINST Republican candidates---

The lack of partisan 'backlash' in 2022,
won't be repeated in 2026 on behalf of Republicans!

63. He is severely personality disordered.

He is what I have colorfully described as a “cluster B train wreck” (See DSM-5). In simple terms this means always needing to be the top dog, the center of attention, exclusively concerned about what benefits him without concern for the rights of or harm to others, and chronically stormy interpersonal relationships and identity fluctuation. He has all these qualities to the nth degree, and much can be explained from that perspective. Add to that that he is now caught in a trap of his own making, i.e., chickens coming home to roost. He is not mentally or psychologically well AND he is continuing on tried and true strategies which got him where he is today. They may seem like madness, and may actually be madness, but it is consistent with prior patterns of behavior.

[orangecrush]

64. Thanks for the post

That does shed some light on some dark corners.

[returnee]

65. He is all dark corners. n/t
