New Reports Suggest Trump Might Not Be a Liar at All, But Truly Delusional.

27. I think we're mainly just using different terminology.

I'm not a mental health professional and can use the wrong words.

I was answering this:

One bit of evidence in favor of psychosis is: does it lead to behavior that negatively affects his life? How does it negatively affect his life to believe obama is Kenyan? He is rich and president*.

Now, if his beliefs somehow lead to a impoverishment or a jail sentence, then we can talk.

I believe that without his unique advantages, he would have scammed himself into good positions then lost them, would have had difficulty holding jobs, might well have ended up in jail a number of times, married women to use and be supported by and then be dumped by them, congratulating himself for scamming himself onto public support, etc. Certainly frequently broke.

That's, of course, assuming the patterns of behavior that have been documented many times over as playing out in different versions in a far poorer and more limited life.
