Title: Is Trump a Psychopath? Post by MeisterEckhart on Feb 5th, 2025 at 7:11am
Along with his public psychological history which indicates Trump suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, two events recently to which Trump responded, suggest he may also be psychopathic.
The first was his reaction to the helicopter/plane crash... Instead of focusing on leading the grief process, Trump reverted to fury at dwarfs and other minorities, indicating he has significant problems expressing empathy, and probably cannot empathise normally. The second was his recent comment regarding the deal he signed with Canada and Mexico in 2018 - dubbed NAFTA 2.0. When commenting on the deals, he self-deprecatingly quipped, "When I took a look at the deals, I asked myself, 'who the hell made these deals'" to the sycophantic sniggers of his aides. This suggests he is grossly and inappropriately glib. Finally, Trump seems genuinely bemused when people slavishly take him seriously, indicating that while aware that he is not a serious person, he seems to enjoy his superficial charm. Indications of psychopathy Lack of empathy: Irresponsible behaviour: Aggressive behaviour: Glibness: Promiscuous sexual behaviour: Disregard for safety: Superficial charm: Low tolerance for boredom: Reckless Fearlessness: |

Or it could just be a sign of cognitive decline that some are trying to excuse as psychopathy because that, after all the attacks on Biden, is the lesser of two evils. Especially since Trump is the complete opposite of self-deprecating. He is known for his self-promotion, grandiosity, and insistence on projecting strength and success. He rarely, if ever, makes jokes at his own expense and instead focuses on reinforcing his achievements, status, and intelligence, even if he has to lie about them, so it was no quip, as you can see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsMlGwJj_N0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-hAxklwIys Or that Trump is completely oblivious to what he's doing and just wants to be the President and is leaving all the policy and agenda stuff to other people, like Russell Vought, John Ratcliffe, Brendan Carr, and Tom Homan. Again, claiming him to be a Psychopath allows the focus to be put on that, and then be dismissed as his critics being crazy, TDS or that they're detached. I'm more worried about the other two explanations, the ones you're trying to hide... |

Actually, Trump has a history of being in on self-deprecating jokes... There are clips of him on Saturday Night Live where he takes the piss out of himself - one where he is acting as a janitor servicing the apartment of an actor playing Trump. The real Trump (janitor) asks 'Trump', 'And what's the deal with your hair?', to which 'Trump' replies 'Take a look at your own hair'... 'Janitor' replies, 'Yeah, but I'm a janitor... my hair's supposed to look like this'. |

Bill Maher tells of stories where Trump would be humorously odd to the point of self-deprecating...
Maher tells of times when Trump would turn up to Hugh Heffner's theme parties, where the theme is 'pyjamas and lingerie'. While everyone is dressed for that theme, Trump turns up dressed exactly as he always is - dark suit, white shirt and red tie - totally out of place, then calmly walks around the place as if nothing was odd about his appearance, pouring out the charm... |

You're hanging your hat on slits from SNL about 10 years ago written by other people that was part of his election campaign to soften his image? While there were elements of self-deprecating humour in his SNL appearance, it doesn’t fully count in the same way it would if he had written or initiated the jokes himself. It was more of a controlled performance than a raw display of self-deprecation. And even if we were to consider them to be genuine examples, that's what 0.0001% of his interactions with people, the rest being far from self-deprecating. No, he's not known for it at all, just another lie in your attempt to twist a narrative to trick people into dropping their guard around you so you can continue whatever this is you're trying to do. |

Because, as Maher put it, he was met with ridicule by the other guests which Trump handled by appearing to be in on it. Most of New York's and California's liberal elite liked Trump for what they perceived was his genuine charm and ability to take a joke at his own expense. They only turned on him when he decided to run for office. |

That Trump's personality characteristics are likely heritable, can be seen in Barron Trump.
Where once Barron, as a child, had the public demeanour of a clueless space cadet, that has changed with maturity into a blank, empty, emotionless stare. Tellingly, of all his sons, Barron is the one he apparently feels closest to. |

You need to do better research. I know you're desperately trying to make a point you don't actually believe for the sake of distraction, but come on, fact-check. I know you MAGA folk hate to fact-check but come on, it's not hard... The only example you've given that Trump is "known for his self-deprecation" was Bill Maher, and it didn't even display any self-deprecation from Trump. Self-deprecation involves making fun of oneself and acknowledging one’s own flaws or shortcomings in a humorous way. What Maher describes about Trump at Hefner’s parties is more about Trump’s indifference to social norms and his unwavering sense of self-importance. Simply showing up out of place and carrying on as if nothing is unusual suggests confidence (or obliviousness), not self-mockery. And if it's one thing someone so far to the left on the Dunning-Kruger scale has, it's misplaced confidence. Watch the whole interview, don't just rely on a lazy google search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4IngMLTAHs If you actually check what Maher has said about Trump, you'll find he has often criticised Trump for lacking a self-deprecating sense of humour. In his 2016 stand-up special, "Bill Maher: #WhinyLittleBitch," Maher mocked Trump's sensitivity to criticism and his inability to laugh at himself. Maher emphasised that Trump's thin skin and constant need for praise prevent him from engaging in self-deprecating humour. In a 2013 incident, Maher joked that Trump was the offspring of an orangutan, a satirical reference to Trump's demands for President Obama's birth certificate. Trump responded by producing his birth certificate and filing a lawsuit against Maher, which he later withdrew. In Maher's view, this reaction further illustrated Trump's inability to take a joke at his own expense. Overall, Maher portrays Trump as lacking the humility and self-awareness necessary for self-deprecating humour, often highlighting his sensitivity to criticism and his propensity to retaliate against detractors. |
Title: Re: Is Trump a Psychopath? Post by MeisterEckhart on Feb 5th, 2025 at 9:03am
The confusing of Trump's psychopathic traits for recent cognitive decline probably has more to do with ascribing to Trump what Biden was clearly suffering.
However, psychopaths can display behaviour so out-of-place and seemingly so out of touch with reality that observers could be forgiven for suspecting cognitive decline or early dementia. They can laugh inappropriately at funerals, or get angry at a joke - even if it's not directed at them. They can misread friendly behaviour as hostility, or find themselves incapable of grief even at the death of a close family member. The successful ones learn deflective and compensating behaviour, if not outright learned mimicry from a lifetime of observation, that gets them through those moments where they cannot express appropriate and normal human emotion. |

So back to your original post,
MeisterEckhart wrote on Feb 5th, 2025 at 7:11am:
The real reasons behind Trump’s actions are far more insidious and difficult to dismiss than the lazy cop-out of simply branding him a psychopath. That’s the real point, isn’t it? Trump’s response to the crash demonstrated that his image mattered more to him than the people who died. It also suggested a fundamental ignorance of what he was even doing when he signed those Executive Orders on hiring freezes. This isn’t just callousness, it’s a glaring indication that he neither understands nor controls his own administration. We saw it in real time: he didn’t even know what he was signing. He had to ask. Then there’s the deal he supposedly despised, yet had already signed. Did he forget? Did he never realise what he was authorising in the first place? Is this cognitive decline accelerating before our eyes, or is it simply further proof that he was never actually in charge? That policy and governance were outsourced to whoever had his ear at any given moment? Queue Project 2025. These explanations are far more plausible, far more disturbing, and far harder to refute than the overused claim that he’s just a psychopath. The left calls Trump a psycho every day. If we lump these failures into that narrative, they can be easily dismissed, just more noise. And that's the point, right? That's what you're trying to do yeah? And now, we’re supposed to believe that you, the same person who bends over backwards to defend Trump at every turn, the same person incapable of acknowledging plain reality when Musk performed a textbook Nazi salute at the inauguration, regardless of intent, are suddenly worried about Trump’s psychopathic tendencies? Do you honestly think we’re that stupid? |

The examples in there aren't the mic drop you think they are. Trump’s handling of the "covfefe" tweet wasn’t self-deprecating in the usual sense, where someone openly mocks their own mistake, but it did contain an element of playful deflection. Instead of admitting a typo or laughing at himself, Trump leaned into the mystery: "Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe' ??? Enjoy!" This wasn’t self-deprecating in the traditional sense of acknowledging a blunder and making fun of himself. Instead, it was more of a classic Trump move, turning an apparent mistake into a spectacle, keeping people talking, and refusing to concede error. His supporters saw it as him having fun with the moment, while his critics saw it as an unwillingness to admit fault. In the context of Q Drops needing bakers to interpret what they meant, Trump was cashing in on that to avoid admitting a mistake within his supporter's eyes. So yes, I saw that as an unwillingness to admit fault. True self-deprecation would have been something like, "Oops, late-night tweeting got the best of me, maybe I need a proofreader!" But that kind of self-awareness isn’t his style. Instead, he doubled down and made it a game, which is more about controlling the narrative than making fun of himself. Learn the difference. |

Something else I find disturbing is Piers Morgan's unquenchable need to name-drop Trump whenever he can...
Morgan identifies with being a narcissist, at least in that he acknowledges he has a 'very big ego', and appears incapable of assuming we've all got the point by now - that he knows Trump personally. Just today, in an interview with Zelensky, no less, he told Zelensky that he was 'talking to President Trump recently about the Ukraine war' and suggested that Trump had confided in him about his thoughts on it. |

You'll need to do better research... Maher has told the same story multiple times... His take on Trump over it depends on who he's talking to, it seems. However, as is common with psychopaths, how they will take a joke is unpredictable... sometimes it's in good humour, other times it triggers a furious rage that can burn for years - as with Obama's roasting of him years ago... Although given the cordial way he and Obama interacted at Carter's funeral, it seems that the bad blood has bled away. |

Trump is probably not a psychopath
He does have insane and probably delusional levels of self belief. Is that psychopathic? Men like Alexander, Muhammed. Mehmet, Henry V. Napoleon Custer. Cortes. Drake. Patton Churchill Branson Musk have possibly delusional levels of self belief Some of them might have been labelled psychopathic Skippy keeps calling Trump a whinny little batch but there is a lot more to it then that He is more a cult leader And to be a cult leader .you wouldn't even get to first base without presenting an energy for people to vibe with The thing that I get and I think Trump gets is that there is an energy flow in nature. If lots of people are devoting their energy to say bringing down Bill Gates or Anthony Fauci. That energy can be harnessed to disempower the haters We saw this with the haters quickly becoming conspiracy theorists and empowering the very thing they resisted In essence. Trump needs haters It is his energy source. Maybe early Christians needed haters Same with Muslims If everyone just ignored them like say the Mormons They probably would have been much smaller religions It's the paradox of power. The more Trump is labelled a psycho The harder it will be for those labelling him to make his fan base desert him Trump could be easily defeated Get a new democrat leader and refocus that energy on them Look at twitter. Look at mainstream Look at this American forum It is 99.9% Trump and I don't even know who the democrats have that could be a leader . What you resist.

You may break laws and feel little or no guilt when you do something wrong. This condition usually develops in childhood, but you can’t get a diagnosis until you’re 18 or older. If you have this personality disorder, you might do things like: Lie to or trick others for personal gain Commit crimes Disregard rules or the safety of others Act impulsively or aggressively Act coldly toward others Lie about both big and little things Have few, if any, close relationships Have trouble keeping a job or doing schoolwork Take unneeded risks Now, who does that sound like? :-/ |

Traits commonly linked to psychopathy include: Insincere charm Getting easily bored Compulsive lying Manipulation of others No remorse or guilt Little emotional reaction Cruelty without feeling bad about it Taking advantage of others Behavior problems that start in childhood Failure to accept responsibility Many sexual relationships The rapist seems to tick every box. |

What’s the Difference Between Sociopathy and Psychopathy? If you have ASPD, or sociopathy, you probably know you're doing something wrong when you do something wrong. But you may have little empathy for others. That means it can be hard for you to see things from someone else's perspective or understand how they feel. So even though you may know something you're doing is harmful or unethical, that's not enough to stop you from doing it. On the flip side, some experts think people with psychopathy lack a sense of empathy or morality. Compared to someone with ASPD who doesn't have psychopathy, you may feel less regard for others. Others think it's just much harder for you to predict when your actions will lead to harmful consequences. |

With morality, it appears psychopaths cannot process appropriate moral behaviour...
Morality 'hijacks' the brain's pathogenic recoil mechanism (the disgust response) to suppress immoral behaviour and to respond negatively to immoral behaviour in others. With psychopaths, immoral behaviour does not trigger disgust and so they do not feel shame or repugnance at the thought of immoral acts. |

With Hollywood having turned 'psycho' into a hackneyed cliche - being the evil genius, reptilian thinker - spare a thought for the Yankist dumbcunt reptilian thinker.
Trump fits the mould of the latter, which has his arch-supporters scrambling to vicariously salvage as much dignity Trump hasn't already sh!t-smeared while he fights them all off bravely. |

When America had nothing to offer and Media novelty Presidents of "because he's black, because she's a woman" was apparently a justified excuse to be a President.
Along came little Trump like America's version of Bilbo Baggins and put his hand up. Of course, all the Media Lefties went insane. How dare Trump think that he, a little orange ranga male, run for President in an America of Diversity, Inclusion and Rainbows of accepting all races! The bigotry and racism of the Left was thus unmasked for what it is: False. Of course, we now know that Trump's calling was spot on. America didn't have anything to offer as a President, as proved by an incompetent and mentally vacant Biden who only wanted to sniff little girls hair, enquire about their too young sex life, dry hump Hillary, call Kamala his wife and pick his nose at important world leader functions because he just could not function as what a President should be. So here's to the Great American little ranga battler. We know that the future majority of race in North America will be Rangas.😆 |
