    These are just opinions of course, but.... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...ent-trump-exhibits-traits-m-article-1.2957688

    You can judge Trump more easily by the environments he prefers - the need to be surrounded by his own name, his 'sickness' of gold; and the people, always sycophantic, violent and twisted nationalists. It's not a good look, and it reveals him.

    It does seem that his ideological framework is FUBAR. That said, his thinking inside his FUBAR framework is perfectly coherent, and it is hard to disagree with his assessment of the problems facing America.

    The people with mental illness are the fools protesting in the streets. The election is over and the serial liar Hillary lost, deal with it. Get the hell out of the streets and quit bothering the adults.

    Gloat while you can; his "reign" will be short-lived. . . . My main concern is for that unbalanced portion of society that has come out of hiding to cheer him on as he desecrates American values.

    Here we go again. Arm chair psychology is just another twist and turn on the liberal emotional roller coaster. They are so predictable.

    Yeah? Which values specifically?

    I'd also love to hear more about why you think his "reign" will be short-lived.

    Short lived? What do you mean? I know he works hard and gets things done , but still might take 8 years to fix what anti American Democrats have done.

    If he wasn't in such a position to screw so many things up, it would be sad. He's a classic case of what happens when you're raised by nannies and pampered like a baby your whole life. Ironically, the same special snowflakes that the right cries about is one and the same with the man-child they put in office. He didn't get enough praise and attention when he was young, and has to constantly seek it out. his rampant insecurity and thin skinned nature likely comes from never receiving the positive enforcement he craved.

    We've put a 5 yr old in charge of the country.

    More leftist opinions, backed by nothing but their own hatred.

    Hillary wasn't arrogant?
    Hillary wasn't a mercenary for her donors?
    Was Hillary a patriot?

    I'm not attempting to deflect from Trump to Hillary. What I'm doing is looking for consistency.

    I am around medical professionals often, and on one occasion I mentioned Trump's habitual ways of expressing and the apparent importance to him of the approval of others. The response I got was that he is emotionally damaged and he can't be otherwise. It's not a matter of gaining experience in office. He simply isn't up to the job.

    You traded a serial liar for a congenital liar instead so deal with the fact that you made a horrendous error in judgement.

    Hilary is a non issue - the issue is Trump and his erratic behaviour

    Not if you're looking for consistency. Without consistency, claims of Trump being arrogant, a mercenary, or of not being a patriot, are just hollow, partisan insults. Hillary Clinton was arrogant, she was a mercenary for her corporate and foreign donors, and her ambition and self-interest was first for her, not patriotism. And yet, 65 million people voted for her. As far as I'm concerned, that is 65 million people in this country who have no standing to complain about Trump if there complaint is that he is arrogant, a mercenary, or unpatriotic.

    This is just hypocritical and therefore has no standing.

    Btw, what is your avatar, exactly?

    Hilary is not governing America - she is not even going to be there if you exploded the whole of Washington

    What is required is to measure the abilities of the person holding the office of the President

    Got to like his one-sentence speech here. I suppose that's all the farther he could get without reverting to talking about himself, his daughter, the media, etc. :D

    I don't think anyone is surprised with the diagnosis, Trump's malignant narcissism was quite obvious.

    If I were you i'd worry more about getting Turnbull on a testosterone rehabilitation regimen, he needs it.

    Anyone who seeks a position of authority has that, to a large degree.

    No... not a large degree, I might agree to the word "some".

    Trump is in a class with Hitler ito narcisism... a huge degree to the point of being dysfunctional

    OK. Trump was a flawed candidate, and he will undoubtedly be a flawed president. But name one president in recent history who wasn't flawed in some way.

    Right now, though, to tell you the truth, I'm more interested in your avatar. What is it? It reminds me of a genie. Is that what it is?
