Whoever wrote this deserves credit but I don't know wh

Trump is a Sociopath: from Hartman Report

Claiming that Donald Trump is a sociopath has become so common it’s pretty much a cliché these days. That said, most people don’t know what sociopathy is or what they can expect from — or how to identify — a sociopath.

I did a deep dive into Trump’s childhood and history to discover the roots of his behavior — and how we can deal with it and repair America from it — in my newest book The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink.

What I found was fascinating and provides an easy way for people with no training in psychology to identify not only Trump’s problem but to figure out who else in their lives may incline toward sociopathy (CEOs are particularly notorious; some suggest it’s what makes them ruthless but successful).

The easy way to describe sociopathy to a lay person is to explain that if young children were tested for the condition they’d often test positive for the disorder, which is referred to by professionals (and the DSM) as “Antisocial Personality Disorder” (ASPD).

That’s because their personalities are still developing and they haven’t yet fully developed empathy, impulse control, or a stable sense of morality, traits that are still emerging during childhood and adolescence.

This is why clinicians are careful not to diagnose children with sociopathy or ASPD outright; instead, they may diagnose Conduct Disorder, especially if the child shows persistent patterns of aggression, deceit, or cruelty. If these behaviors continue into adulthood, and particularly if they begin before age 15, the diagnosis may later shift to ASPD/sociopathy.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), adults with ASPD or sociopathy display a consistent and persistent set of characteristics. Those include a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others; chronic violation of social norms, rules, and laws; deceitfulness, impulsivity, and aggression; and a near-complete lack of remorse or empathy.

But the simplest way to explain this is to simply note that adult sociopaths usually tend to act like young children. Consider Trump’s public behavior. He:

— Ignores or apparently doesn’t care about the rights of other people or the impact of his actions on others. He’ll send non-criminals to a hellhole concentration camp in El Salvador or deport them to South Sudan, even though it may be a death sentence — and is certainly an open door to torture — apparently without a second thought or twinge of conscience.

— Defies social norms, bragging about sexually assaulting women and how he could murder somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.

— Ignores or tries to get around laws and court orders with apparent delight.

— Lies about those actions and decisions that hurt others or even damage our nation.

— Makes things up on the fly, chronically lying when it’s not even remotely necessary.

— Bullies judges, lawmakers, people who work for him, and anybody he considers disloyal.

— Almost never, ever admits errors or wrongdoing and is so constantly wrapped up in himself that he doesn’t know how to experience what others are feeling.

This is the behavior of a child who’s not yet been socialized, and in Trump’s case it’s rooted deep in his childhood, having been raised by a troubled father and a distant mother.

The leaders of Europe’s NATO countries appear to have figured this out (as did Putin, Musk, and the Saudis, Emiratis, and Qataris before them); when Trump showed up in The Netherlands this week, they lavished him with praise and positive attention, instead of shunning and implicitly or subtly ridiculing him like they did five years ago.

His response was exactly what they wanted; reconsidering aid to Ukraine and suddenly changing his position to embrace the US’s commitment to the mutual defense provisions embodied in Article 5 of the organization’s charter.

This doesn’t mean that Americans should coddle Trump’s tantrums, demands for revenge, and petty grievances. He will always and obsessively be preoccupied with getting his own childish needs met, and at the top of that list is avoiding discomfort and complexity.

Like the bully he is, when he’s seriously confronted — at least so far — he’ll back down (TACO) if the confrontation threatens to consume lots of his time, trouble, or money. This is why consistent and ferocious opposition to his most puerile actions is absolutely necessary.

History teaches us that when self-centered national leaders aren’t constrained by their own people, the results are usually tragic. During his first presidency, Trump had largely surrounded himself with normal adults who succeeded in moderating his behavior and restraining his worst impulses.

This time, however, he’s succeeded in surrounding himself with people just as pathetically child-like, morally and developmentally, as he is. They’ll lie, cheat, or bully on his behalf, as we’ve recently seen with the public statements of many of his most senior officials.

As we’ve seen with their attacks on and arrests of a state judge, member of Congress, US Senator, and Newark’s Mayor, among others, when a troubled man like Trump succeeds in surrounding himself with other people who share his developmental stunting — and has disposed of “the adults in the room” — the results can be horrific.

The next three-and-a-half years will be both critical and dangerous for the future of democracy in our republic both because of Trump’s psychopathology and the willingness (or even enthusiasm) of the people around him to facilitate his infantile rages and desires.

In the book — and in future articles here — I lay out a variety of ways Americans can deal with this national mental health crisis and the consequences with which it hits average working class people. The first and most important step, though, is to identify his disability and spread the word.

Not only is that the first step toward constraining him and those around him, but it’ll also help voters avoid electing more troubled man-babies to public office in the future.

And yet another list from

From: "Elizabeth Warren" <info@e.elizabethwarren.com>

In order to mark Trump’s first 100 days in office, I took the liberty of sharing 100 reports of corruption he’s responsible for.

Take a look below — one example of corruption for every single day he’s been in office.

I refuse to accept this as our new normal. Americans deserve accountability. Period. We need to fight back — all of us. That’s what I’m going to do in the Senate. If you’re able to pitch in $3 or anything you can, you’ll help strengthen our work to hold this administration accountable and limit the damage Trump is doing to our government, our economy, and our democracy.

Count with me now: In just one hundred days, Donald Trump, his family, and his Administration have:

1. Turned the White House into a Tesla dealership.
2. Fired independent commissioners at the FTC.
3. Punished former officials who opposed his 2020 election lies.
4. Paid for the White House Easter Egg roll by soliciting corporate sponsors who have business pending with the government.
5. Helped Trump’s son set up a club — pay $500,000 for access to Trump’s cabinet.
6. Declared that there would be NO tariff exceptions. Then permitted Apple’s CEO “behind the scenes” access — and poof, iPhone tariffs were cut.
7. Created an opening for insider trading by reportedly giving Wall Street exclusive information about trade talks.
8. Hosted million-dollar dinners between Big Pharma CEOs and their regulator RFK Jr.

13. Limited corporate foreign bribery investigations.
14. Halted enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act.
15. Offered a private dinner with Trump himself—and a special tour of the White House—for the top 220 holders of his memecoin, permitting Trump and his family to profit both from the run up in the value of the coin AND the increase in trading on the Trump platform.
16. Accepted $40 million for First Lady Melania's documentary from Jeff Bezos – way above the market rate.
17. Pointed to Bezos’s multi-million-dollar documentary payment as a model, when Warner Bros. asked Trump's team how to improve its own relationship with the White House.
18. Struck a deal with Amazon to stream Trump’s old show The Apprentice, which will mean more money for Trump as Amazon seeks tax breaks and other federal benefits.

20. Filed a meritless lawsuit against 60 Minutes and launched a baseless FCC investigation.

82. Targeted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration staff who were reportedly, quote, a “thorn in Tesla's side.”
83. Said Musk would self-police his conflicts of interest. Yeah, right…

93. Fired FDA staffers reviewing Elon Musk’s Neuralink clinical trial applications.
94. Coercing law firms to offer almost $1 billion in free legal work in an arrangement that experts say could run afoul of anti-bribery laws.

95. Fired 18 Inspectors General who make sure the federal agencies follow the law
96. Fired the head of the Office of Special Counsel who protects whistleblowers and makes sure that civil service laws are fired.

98. Fired DOJ prosecutors who worked on January 6th investigations.
99. Sidelined DOJ’s office that reviews the legality of executive orders.
100. Gutted DOJ’s office that prosecutes misconduct by public officials.

I’m going to do everything in my power and use every tool I’ve got to hold this administration accountable and root corruption out of our government. Your support makes this critical work possible.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
