This isn't a revelation. Anyone who's seen his behaviour knows he's a deeply broken psyche. This is what you get when you teach a child to be ruthless, to win at all costs, and then never make him endure any consequences.
He's never had to endure any hardship, and has been conditioned to win at all costs, but lacks the intelligence for subtlety.

Well I think the problem is that a lot of Americans like a deeply awful, psychopathically unempathetic moron
I’ve been saying this but Donald Trump is far from the only Donald Trump that America suffers from
His kind is everywhere
Our society is pretty mentally unwell largely due to how it designs its workforce to allow citizens to earn a living

u/KochuJang 4d ago
Our society has selected for these types of traits because we’ve been eroding the community away in favor of selfish individualism. People are more isolated than ever and social media is a place to build a cathedral to one’s ego instead of actual human connection. I’m curious to see what this will all culminate toward in the future, if I can survive long enough to study it.

u/SasquatchWookie 2d ago
Well said.
I also personally sense that the pandemic in particular eroded away communities, affected education, alienated us from one another culturally and eventually became a politically weaponized tool against the people.

His psychiatrist cousin Mary reckons that everything changed at a Christmas dinner when was 7 I think she said. A bowl of boiled potatoes was tipped onto his head, and the bowl was left there. Everyone laughed at him, and he wasn't the same after that.
Their Christmas' sounded horrible. Family went made an effort to be horrible to each other on the day.

People have been screaming from the rooftops into what seems like an endless void, they've been screaming and screaming but no one hears. The pain hasn't even truly began my friends, we're in the hands of a fiend whose great evil deeds are not yet done. We are no long the shining beacon on a hill, if anything we're a lighthouse of warning to stay away for there's danger here. That danger sits in the most powerful house in the world but it's our neighborhoods that suffer, and our neighbors that put him there. The day of reckoning is coming and the US has a lot of pain to get through before it's over, let's just hope we learn enough through our collective suffering that we make the right choices next time, if we don't I fear we won't be able to make choices in the future.

It's about 50% (half). Those that didn't vote were okay with the racism at the very least. Also a large amount were disenfranchised., so I wont say 66%

u/Enough_Survey_9404 6d ago
Trump is who he is and is mentally ill. But the people who are worse are the people around him who pander to him for their own purposes and know the harm he is doing but are happy and deliberately keeping him there so they can profit.
They have made the US a laughing stock and destroyed alliances.
The absolute worst are the Supreme Court Justices who are caving in and giving him everything he wants. They should know better.
I'm Australian, so technically have no 'skin in the game', but watching from afar I feel sorry for those living through this in the US.

u/Loud-Fudge7631 7d ago
It's very dangerous because foreign government newsgroups, assume Trump speaks in hyperbole and then they try to intellectualize and ration what he must be inferring to. It's kinda shocking to see how trumps words are translated to mandarin news groups for example. It's like them hearing baby gibberish and trying to assume trumps speaking in some layered metaphor higher meaning but its just like dogwhistle baby mentality that actually telegraph how mismanaged he is on both domestic and foreign policy.
It really is beyond mental illness. Steve Bannon and Steven Chung help dress him a bit sane to but they knowing weaponizd his dementia dribble as smoke screens

u/Actual_Profit_6506 3d ago
It’s OK: no one outside the US thinks he’s rational or speaking in layered metaphor.

u/Loud-Fudge7631 3d ago
You would be surprised. Alot of Taiwan and China news often intellecutalize his gibberish as " he must mean this" and completely gloss over the gibberish shit. There also are alot of right wing media groups outside of America that bandwagon, including Canadian right-wing media

I think New Yorkers knew trump was trash in the 70's, but family of mine visited up to NYC circa 1983 with friends who were **from NYC, while trump Tower was under construction. Family member said when the tower is done, they'd like to go into the lobby just to see how gaudy (fake gold, ya know) it would be. NYC native was like, I would *never set foot in that building. NYC'ers knew he was garbage in the 70's and 80's for sure.

The rest of Sach’s talk is more sense and incredulity about our current situation and how we’re all treating it like a spectator sport (ie: Congress and the Press). It’s good to see someone relatively important and learned say out loud and on film what the obvious state of things are. Thank you for the link.

The thing that worries me the most is how easily our military was weaponized. No checks, no balances. For an organization that prides itself on integrity and accountability they have displayed NONE of it throughout any of this. Of any one thing to change after this is over, it's this. It affects not only the U.S. but the world.

Finally someone who can actually coherently and without any emotion, sum up the problem and present it.
I know it’s not news, but the way the news is delivered also depends on if it lands. And I have a feeling this could land into some more people’s minds than someone who is in it just for content or political reasons

“Much deeper problems in the political system” is spot on. Trump isn’t the problem he’s the result. Big money oligarchs billionaire class get what they want. Only reason Trump is where he is.
They robbed the US blind. Even MAGA voters’ credit cards are maxed out.

u/limitless-440 3d ago
Trump is a real problem for all sorts of people around the world, different countries, and in all types of industry. He is obviously a problem, but what is happening in congress and the senate if he is allowed to continue? Trump worse than a problem - he is a SYMPTOM of a much larger problem in the USA. The entire political system is broken, as this gentleman alluded to. I’ve been saying it for several months now - we are witnessing the decline of a modern empire. There is literally no coming back from some of the things he has done and that BOTH political parties have allowed to happen leading up to and during his time in office.

The reason this moron is the way he is, is because it’s easier to hate, talk bad about others and just down right be nasty to others than it is to actually try and be a good person every day of your life. That takes work and a great family behind you. That idiot doesn’t know what either of those two terms are.

In Trunps own words "Frankly I am the biggest narcissist in the world, many have said that , "you Donald I don't think I have ever seen a bigger narcissist ". I even took a narcissist test and psychologists said they have never seen such high scores. I aced the test, I am that good! They even said I am such a great narcissist that I have a huuuge Grandiosity. I always new I was big but I never heard described like that."
