(14,793 posts)Purely as an amateur, I've been saying that for a long time - particularly after watching his performances during the 2015/2016 campaign with his long list of lies and deceptions. Hardly anyone but a psychopath could have pulled that off, but only with the help of a number of others of his type. I suspect his father's nature and wealth (along with his youth spent in isolation) added the nasty layer of narcissism.
The frightening thing is that both the GOP and corporate world attract these characters and they have massive resources behind them, both financial power and brain power in the form of think tanks. At least Trump's psychopathy is in plain view, but it's the thousands of them that work behind the scenes and mostly in positions of power that we should worry about.
I'm now curious if Dr. Hare's book "Snakes in Suits" would be a good read or just a depressing review of the obvious. I see he has a second edition coming out this month.
