and have hit upon what makes Trump so evil and dangerous. I too have followed him for over ten years and have noticed the same character flaws. I wrote the following not too long back just before the election. I can't remember if I posted it here. I did post it elsewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last few days I have had the feeling that somehow we're connected in time and spirit to those German citizens who, while going through their normal daily routine, had in the back of their minds that feeling of apprehension and doom knowing that Adolph Hitler might soon be ruling their country.
Hitler was a madman who had no empathy for the millions of Germans and other people he slaughtered in his insane attempt to create the Third Reich.
Donald Trump is also a madman cut from the same cloth as Hitler.
Trump has already caused the deaths of thousands of Americans during the Covid pandemic due to his total incompetent handling of that crisis. He feels nothing for those who died as a result of his mishandling of that crisis.
Donald Trump is a narcissistic sociopath. I believe he was probably badly abused in childhood. These are the traits of a narcissistic sociopath. They fit Trump perfectly.
A narcissistic sociopath may have the following traits:
1. Lack of empathy: They have little to no ability to understand or relate to the feelings of others.
2. Power-hungry: They enjoy being in positions of power and controlling others.
3. Manipulative: They may use tactics like triangulation to exploit others and get what they want.
4. Abusive: They may be hostile and aggressive when their sense of self-importance is threatened.
5. Attention-seeking: They constantly seek love, adoration, and attention from others.
6. Exaggerated sense of self-importance: They have an inflated sense of self-importance and believe they are superior to others.
7. Sense of entitlement: They believe they are entitled to special treatment and have a strong sense of entitlement.
8. Preoccupation with envy: They may feel envious of others while also believing others are envious of them.
9. Arrogant: They may be arrogant and disdainful of others.
10. Lack of ethics and morals: They may lie, steal, or cheat to get what they want. They may also assume that rules don't apply to them, even if they expect others to follow them.
Hitler was also a narcissistic sociopath. People like this can without any second thought send millions to their deaths. This is Trump.
Trumps lies like the rest of us breathe. Once Trump utters a lie he will NEVER take it back. He never once has admitted he was wrong. Given some of the whoppers he has said you would think that at least once in a while he would say "Oops, wow that was wrong. Sorry bout that." Hasn't happened.
He'll go to his grave still claiming ridiculous bullshit like "Inject bleach to cure Covid" or I won the 2020 election".
You might think his lies are meant just for the benefit of those around him and that is partly right. See number 5 in the list above.
Additionally those lies are meant for himself as well. In reality he is an insecure man child still suffering from the childhood abuse he went through. He lies to himself as much as he lies to those around him for the same reason.
That reason? To make himself feel worthy, To make himself feel special. He can't admit he is lying because to do so is to admit how truly messed up he really is.
A person like this shouldn't be given the power of the Presidency. Power in the hands of a narcissistic sociopath such as Donald Trump is a disaster in the making just as it was when that kind of power was given to Hitler.
I know this country's elections aren't perfect and some times we end up voting between mediocre and horrible. This election is way beyond mediocre and horrible. Donald Trump is a madman.
He has already proven himself to be completely incompetent in the first go-around. His mental stability is clearly getting worse and its likely he is suffering from the same kind of dementia his Father Fred Trump died from.
He belongs in a maximum security mental ward where society is protected from his virulence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're seeing the above in the real world now. For example the ABC settlement and his suit against a Iowa newspaper and pollster. In each case the victims of Trumps abuse of power told the truth but that truth went against Trumps view of himself. He'll go to any length and any abuse of power to protect his inner man child. This makes him EXTREMELY dangerous especially since he now has been given the power of the Presidency. Expect more and much much worse.
