This is the latest by the armchair psychologist Trump haters - a planned and deliberate attempt to portray Trump as mentally ill. If you notice, a rash of articles making this claim all seemed to spring up overnight....I wonder why?

The Left

Next on the hit list - to make all of Trump's job creating efforts appear only to benefit his own businesses, and to make it appear that he does not have the average American worker's best interests in mind. The Dems have lost the blue collar voters and need to get it back, so this will be their latest ploy.

It's really pathetic and kind of amusing in a sad way how this orchestration of criticism is so apparent, yet adopted by the haters so eager to find anything negative to accuse Trump of.

Couldn't agree more!

If they'd put that much thought and energy into finding a good candidate for their party for the next POTUS election, they may, just may, end up with a winner.

That would be because it's true. He hired his billionaire cronies to fill all his Cabinet appointments, most of whom are big donators to the Republican party or deal with him in business. He enacted a federal hiring freeze which certainly doesn't create jobs, and would probably lead to a loss of jobs, and he defunded Planned Parenthood, which leads to a net loss in jobs, not gain. And by his attempts to freeze immigration, it's likely immigration and customs officials could even be laid off at the airports due to the lower rate of entries into the US. So how do these things create jobs for the average American?

Do we truly need more employees our tax dollars pay for? Trimming the agencies that duplicate efforts will result in a loss of jobs, but with the activity in the private sector, the unemployed will have a chance to compete for those newly created jobs.

I'd much rather have successful businessmen in positions of power than some political hack that has been feeding at the public trough for years.

He has the earmarks of a Meyers-Briggs ESTP. https://www.16personalities.com/estp-personality This has it's pros and cons like all personality types.


One advantage of his type is that he deals with realities rather than concepts. I think it's what we need right now.


It's that rapid, independent action, I think, that he will need to rein in or it may get him into trouble. The team structure will perhaps be a difficult one for him to adapt to but let's hope that he sees the wisdom of taking advantage of the skills of his many advisors. It's a learning process and early in the game.


One thing is nearly a guarantee - there won't be a dull moment.

I don't think he's on any psychotropic medications either but he's a good candidate for them.

But that is part of the problem, a strong leader does not resort to insults, fosters fear and anger, attacks
any media source that doesn't praise him and has his own version of truth (now it's alternative facts or lies)?
After 2 weeks he was so exhausted that he had to take a break?

Besides being narcissistic, he doesn't seem to know what the U.S. Presidency means. He is used to just snapping his fingers in his businesses and making things happen. He has to learn that we all have a say in a democracy.

Absolutely ego maniac and self-absorted. Behaves like the whole thing is a show where he is the main and only character. Like and adult with the mind of an spolied child.

Scary.

Thoughts?
Trump's behavior might be characterized as megalomaniacal, but the collective policies and actions of those who oppose, and have chosen to demonize him might represent a stronger force.

And I would remind everyone that, the vicious phenomenon of Adolf Hitler aside, the barbarism which turned Europe into a slaughterhouse for half of the Twentieth Century was a collective action -- and many of those who rant loud and long against Trump tend to look the other way at the actions of Lenin and Stalin.

A little more food for thought?

No, many successful business people may have narcissistic TRAITS (we all do or we wouldn't survive) but they do not have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It's obvious that Trump falls into a whole different category.

He's not doing very well so far.
