(26,366 posts)A high percentage of successful CEOs and politicians are psychopathic. They are successful because they are ruthlessly (lacking any empathy or remorse) rational. What you've described is someone that lies freely to get what they want -again that is due to their lack of empathy and remorse. They rationally conclude they can get what they want from you if they lie to you and lacking empathy and remorse they won't feel bad about doing so.
Also you are ignoring you own argument - if you believe Trump is a psychopath and you believe that "they give less than zero fucks if they dont get what they want from someone" how can you claim he's "painted himself into a corner"? He wouldn't care what anyone thinks.
Anyway - Trump is leaving, on his own, from an unburnt Whitehouse and will be spending the subsequent time complaining how he was cheated in a stolen election.
