In reply to the discussion: Trump may lack language 'discipline' to avoid appearance of investigation interference [View all]athena
(4,187 posts)7. So we're supposed to have a different set of laws for Trump
because he can't control what comes out of his mouth?
The problem is not that Trump is "not from the political class". The problem is that Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. That means he has the emotional maturity of a three-year-old. A three-year-old whose face is covered with chocolate will calmly shake his head and say "No" when you ask him, "Did you eat the chocolate cake?" That's what we're dealing with here. The fact that we have a three-year-old running the country does not mean that laws against perjury and obstruction of justice go out the window.

If he was so inept in language then why fire Comey? Why kick people out of the room? Why admit

No. He's from the spoiled billionaire class who is used to getting away with anything.

Cannot claim ignorance. He is still accountable for what comes out of his mouth. Period.
