(901 posts)8. Trump is mentally ill. He's a narcissist and maybe a psychopath. He does not
think or feel the way most of us do. He finds meaning only in an endless craving for adulation, but he'll never find enough no matter how much he tries, and he equates "success" with material wealth that he enjoys flaunting. He cannot realize that what makes life meaningful and worthwhile are the people around us, family and friends, and in helping others, and that giving is always better than receiving in most situations. He's a taker, a parasite, one who thinks the shiny gold coin is more important and more valuable than the look in a child's eyes when he/she has enough food for dinner tonight. He lacks the ability to care about others. This whole presidency for him is just a sickening ego trip.
