Trump's Mental Disorder: Textbook Narcissm

"In the halls of the Pentagon, there is a different plan afoot for the Trump presidency. Here, officers are privately contemplating what they would do should Trump become their commander-in-chief. And more often than not, they proclaim they will leave.

“'By 2016 I will have my 20 years in and can get out of here,' one military official said, referring to the amount of time a service member needs to collect retirement pay."

Traditionally, the military supports whatever candidate the Republicans vomit forth, perhaps Trump will change that?

 

Awesome, so he can buy and sell real-estate. Yep, definitely presidential material, right there. Remind us how many times this genius has declared bankruptcy.

 

Perhaps Bernie has better historical insights on the relationship between statism and slavery?

"The Marxist theory of historical materialism sees human society as fundamentally determined at any given time by the material conditions—in other words, the relationships which people have with each other in order to fulfil basic needs such as feeding, clothing, and housing themselves and their families..."

"Slave society[edit]

"The Second Stage: may be called slave society, considered to be the beginning of 'class society' where private property appears.

"Class: here the idea of class appears. There is always a slave-owning ruling class and the slaves themselves.

"Statism: the state develops during this stage as a tool for the slave-owners to use and control the slaves.

"Agriculture: people learn to cultivate plants and animals on a large enough scale to support large populations.

"Democracy and authoritarianism: these opposites develop at the same stage. Democracy arises first with the development of the republican city-state, followed by the totalitarian empire.

"Private property: citizens now own more than personal property. Land ownership is especially important during a time of agricultural development."

...and the Scots booted him off one of his essential-to-life golf course ventures. He really hated that!

"In fact, he fits the profile so well that clinical psychologist George Simon told Vanity Fair, 'He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops.'

"This puts Trump in the same category as a number of infamous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Saddam Hussein.


I agree and I would love to see those video clips. Trump is so outrageous that its hard to keep track of his antics.

 

How close to an arrogant narcissist would a "top psychologist" have to be standing in order to diagnose cosmic stupidity like this?

"When he thought he had been treated unfairly by Fox News host and Republican debate moderator Megyn Kelly, he responded by calling her a 'bimbo' and later saying that she had 'blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.'”

He really is a gross man...........

 

"The thought of [our] destruction is like a light in the middle of the night that spreads its flames on the objects it will soon consume. We must get used to contemplating this light, since it announces nothing that has not been prepared by all that comes before; and since death is as natural as life, why should be so afraid of it?
– Louis, chevalier de Jaucourt, for Diderot's Encyclopédie "

Ronnie and Donnie
Rhymes with Rich?

"Today, real estate mogul Donald Trump proudly declares that Ronald Reagan is the President he admires most. Here’s Trump on the April 14 edition of Hannity:

"HANNITY: Who are our past presidents that you admire most?

"TRUMP: Well, I really like and knew a little bit Ronald Reagan, and I really liked him. You know, not only his policies, smart guy and so much smarter, you know, I always sort of have to laugh to myself when people try and criticize that level of intelligence. And I loved his style. I loved what he represented. … I thought he represented something very special for this county..."

"But in his bestselling book, Art of the Deal, published at the conclusion of the Reagan presidency, Trump cited Reagan as an example of someone who could 'con people' but couldn’t 'deliver the goods.' Trump said Reagan was 'so smooth' that he 'won over the American people.' But at the conclusion of his presidency, 'people are beginning to question whether there is anything beneath that smile,' Trump writes. Here is page 60 from Art of the Deal..."

Makes me wonder what they're afraid of
"Awareness of human mortality arose through some 150,000 years ago.[13] In that extremely short span of evolutionary time, humans have fashioned but a single basic mechanism with which they deal with the existential death anxieties this awareness has evoked—denial in its many forms.[13] Thus denial is basic to such diverse actions as breaking rules and violating frames and boundaries, manic celebrations, violence directed against others, attempts to gain extraordinary wealth and/or power—and more."

Celebrating failure. Awesome.

 

That's just amazing...........

 

If Trump's elaborately arranged cranial topiary isn't a clear indication of narcissism I'd love to know what is. Does he have a personal hairdresser, I wonder?

Ulysses S. Grant - 18th president of the United States filed bankruptcy
Thomas Jefferson - founding father, author of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd president of the United States filed bankruptcy
William McKinley - 25th president of the United States filed bankruptcy and

Abraham Lincoln - 16th president of the Unites States- twice filed bankruptcy

 

Trump is a failure? Again, I'd like to fail as big as he did.

 

Since 0bama isn't running, why even bring him up?

Unfortunately, Hillary has called many women bimbos. She pretty much made the word mainstream.

 

I'd rather have him than a pathological liar like Hillary.

 

I was answering a direct question... please do try to keep up!

 

Does Bernie think we're slaves? I'm not a slave. I work for a living, but then that's something I expect to do and need to do, because as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I labor in exchange for a medium of exchange (currency), which I can then use to obtain the things I need and want. I have my choice of work, my choice of where to live, my choice of a great many things. And I have it all because I figured out a line of work I wanted to get into and got the education I needed to do it. I am as free as can be and don't need any anti-rich politician to come along and try to "help" me. The same is true of everyone in America, because we're all free. The rest comes down to how we perceive ourselves and our situation, and how we choose to live.

 

I fear that he, too, is a liar and manipulator. Just one who puts up a better image.

 

Persistence is everything.

 

Yea, Reagan was a real threat. LOL

 

We have civilian command of our Military. If we select a Commander in Chief they don't like and they want to leave over it, I guess they will.

But I doubt this actually has the substance of a fluttering butterfly. If Trump is the nominee, he will win the Military vote. And another fearless prediction. The Hollywood types who claim they will leave the country if Trump wins the Presidency, they won't leave either.

 

If you need to sell your labor to someone who pays you less than the value you produce, you are a long way from free:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery#Similarities_of_wage_work_with_slavery

"Wage slavery refers to a situation where a person's livelihood depends on wages or a salary, especially when the dependence is total and immediate.[1][2]

"It is a pejorative term used to draw an analogy between slavery and wage labor by focusing on similarities between owning and renting a person."

"According to American anarcho-syndicalist philosopher Noam Chomsky, the similarities between chattel and wage slavery were noticed by the workers themselves.

"He noted that the 19th century Lowell Mill Girls, who, without any reported knowledge of European Marxism or anarchism, condemned the 'degradation and subordination' of the newly emerging industrial system, and the 'new spirit of the age: gain wealth, forgetting all but self', maintaining that 'those who work in the mills should own them.'"

 

Not to any rich white people
