Is Donald Trump fit to be POTUS?

[Wyatt earp]

Below copied from my copy of the DSM-IV, made easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis, by Dr, James Morrison (pg. 461)

GENERAL CRITERIA FOR PERSONALITY DISORDERS:

A lasting pattern of behavior and inner experience that markedly deviates from norms of the patient's culture; The pattern is manifested in at least two of these areas:

• Affect (appropriateness, intensity, lability, and range of emotions
• Cognition (how the patient perceives and interprets self, others and events)
• Impulse control
• Interpersonal functioning.
  • This pattern is fixed and effects many personal and social situations
  • This stable pattern has lasted a long time with roots in adolescence or young adulthood
  • The pattern isn't explained by another medical disorder
  • It isn't caused by a general medical condition or by the use of substances, including medications

***Cluster A:

Paranoid: These people are suspicious and quick to take offense. They often have few confidants and may read hidden meanings into innocent remarks.

Cluster B:

Antisocial: as adults they may default on debts, or otherwise show irresponsibility; act recklessly or impulsively; and show no remorse for their behavior.

Histrionic:

Overly emotional, vague and attention-seeking; needing constant reassurance, self centered and sexually seductive.

Narcissistic: These people are self important and often preoccupied with envy, fantasies, or ruminations about the uniqueness of their own problems. Their sense of entitlement and lack of empathy may cause them to take advantage of others. The vigorously reject criticism, and need constant attention and admiration.

Cluster C:

Dependent:

These people need the approval of other so much that they have trouble making independent decisions, or starting projects; they may even agree with others whom they know to be wrong. They fear abandonment, feel helpless when they are alone, and are miserable when relationships end. The are easily hurt by criticism and will even volunteer for unpleasant tasks to gain the favor of others.

Consider these are very general and not all bullet points will apply to The Donald, but many do. Focus now on the more comprehensive discussion on Narcissistic Personality Disorder: 301.81 (pg 485)

Beginning by early adult life, grandiosity (real or fantasized), lack of empathy, and need for admiration are present in a variety of situations and shown by at least five of these:

• A grandiose sense of self importance (patient exaggerates own abilities and accomplishments)
• Preoccupation with fantasies of beauty, brilliance, ideal love, power, or limitless success
• Belief that personal uniqueness renders the patient for only associations with (or understanding by) people or institutions of rarefied status
• Need for excessive admiration
• A sense of entitlement (patient unreasonably expects favorable treatment or automatic granting of his own wishes
• Exploitation of others to achieve personal goals
• Lack of empathy (patient does not recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others)
• Frequent envy of others or belief that others envy patient
• Arrogance or haughtiness in attitude or behavior

Too many of these bullet points reflect the behavior of Donald Trump to be dismissed. The question, however, is this: is he qualified to be or remain The Most Powerful person in the world?

Trump has done more diplomacy that has helped us than the previous 4 presidents combined. In fact I can't think of a single international agreement that obummer made that benefited US. If you know of one please provide a link to it.

Liberal Democrats ignore Trump's summits with world leaders like Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin.

I don't have a problem with them, but what has he achieved?

Has North Korea gotten rid of any missiles? Have they stopped their nuclear weapons program? He couldn't even stop them from firing missiles over Japan.

And has Russia taken its troops out of Crimea and eastern Ukraine? They even have troops in Georgia and Moldova (although that's not a recent development).

WTF

Now you want Trump to fight the Russian/Japanese war of 1904?

Obama let the cat out of the bag when he didn't do a damn thing to stop Putin..

 

[Wyatt earp]

He pisses off liberals which makes him qualified in my book.

You prefer division to unity, insults to respect, childishness to responsibility and ineptitude to competence?

Well then when you signed up for Trump, you got your wish.

I am tired of decades of surface sweetness masking a undermining of the US and its interests, and its people. I am tired of politicians saying one thing, and doing th e opposite. I am tired of politicians who lie out of both sides of their mouth while enriching themselves and their cronies, while screwing over the middle class.

You can choose to continue with that sort of bullshit, but i voted for trump because i am tired of the middle class being lied to, and screwed over by the billionaires who want to turn us back into serfs.

You may be stupid and ignorant of history. But I am not.

Unfortunately, there isn't a rating available to adequately demonstrate my reaction to your rationalization. It, if available, would show the iced tea streaming from my nose as I read your post.

You resent politicians lying to the people, so you voted for Trump. You resent politicians enriching themselves and their cronies, while screwing over the middle class. So you voted for Trump.

What manner of logic did you use to make your decision?

Trumps lies hurt trump. They don't hurt the American People. Obummer lied about healthcare and cost over one hundred million more people to buy insurance that was worse than what they had. Hillarys lies ended up with people dead. Funny that. The people you seem to like, lie every bit as much as trump does, but the victims of their lies are the regular people. Trump hurts trump.


HUGE difference.

Trump's lies hurt America in the field of international diplomacy, as he is POTUS. And they can hurt the economy, as signs of instability.

Trump didn't get us into any new wars, no one cares what these piss ass country's think and the economy is stable

So what's your point?

that sure is what Obama did--divided the country
not insults--fighting back--telling the truth
.....Trump has shown great restraint in not really going after the HATERS that attack him and his family--since 2016....attacking without justification

Again it's past history, what point don't you get?

 

[Slashsnake]

Trump isn't any less fit to be president than the other candidates were.

Hillary Clinton had her Benghazi issues, is a woman who used that characteristic as a "bright spot" for her campaign, and then had the typical liberal viewpoints. I'd give her the nod over Bernie if I had to pick between the two of them, though.

Bernie Sanders is an outright nutcase. Sure, he has a heart, but that doesn't mean he has the brains to become a president. He doesn't know how economics works, nor can he stay cool under pressure. His socialist ideas would have corrupted our economy by now. Instead, our Dow Jones is at a record high, business taxes were significantly cut, and the Obummercare individual mandate (a bull shit tax) was repealed.

People may laugh at Trump because he tweets more than he should, used to be a reality star, and has declared bankruptcy a bunch of times, but at least he's not as nutty as those two, and this country is going in the right direction. I'd rather have someone who's for tight borders, lower taxes, less regulations, a strong military, and pokes fun at the left about how retarded they are... He, like anyone else with half a brain is tired of political correctness, an overly extreme push for diversity for no reason, a corrupt media, and leftist economic ideas that only hurt the economy.

Without justification.

You either can't hear them, are willfully deaf or just brainwashed.

They do? How? Trump has done more diplomacy that has helped us than the previous 4 presidents combined. In fact I can't think of a single international agreement that obummer made that benefited US. If you know of one please provide a link to it.

Trump has attacked NATO, the UN, gotten out of the Paris Accord. There are other examples I'm sure, those were off the top of my head.

I'm not sure what he accomplished with Kim Jong Un either.

NATO is broken, can we count on anyone in NATO defending our country should we be attacked? The answer is no. Turkey doesn't belong in NATO they aren't an ally. And our allies are weak unable to protect themselves leaning on us too much. The UN is 50% Totalitarian Countries out to get over on everyone else. We should never given equal or near equal rights in the UN based on their own Governmental systems and selfish ideals. The Paris Accord is a joke. It's a redistribution scheme to take money and assets away from rich countries and give them to poor countries in the name of AGW. It's BULLSHIT!!

Your list reflects aspects of the human condition. It reminds me of a time when I asked a detective how could I be sure to never hire another embezzler for the rest of my business life. He looked at me and said "You really want to know how to tell who steals and who doesn't and how we can prevent this?" I affirmed that yes, I'd like to know. His answer? "We don't know, either."

You could take every human being on this planet, devise an elaborate narrative about them and deduct whatever you want to, but it's apparent to me you wouldn't dare do this rundown on Hillary Rodham because when she isn't doing something illegal where you can see her doing it, you don't see most of it until you have it examined by the very people Hillary controlled, because she had private information on everyone who the FBI have ever looked into, found the fault, and exploited it when beneficial to herself. Collaborators? Many of hers were worse than anyone they ever went after with their bludgeoning from the spin room. She also had in her possession dossiers on every FBI agent she could turn with false narratives. She skiied on the surface of the new information age. The only problem was, her criminal side was too well known for all the paid lawyers this side of the Atlantic to defend her rather bad reputation of betraying every good thing the conservatives of the land have done and she betrayed almost as many of her fellow Democrats as she did the rest of us.

And you are totally, completely, unequivocally disinterested in knowing bad things about Hillary Clinton from her lie, "I forget," to her most recent crime of concealment of information belonging to the American people she hid on the computer she bleach-bit and axed to smithereens when that was done. She's a liar and that was the largest obstruction of justice the entire Democrat family refused to notice on their way to the winner-takes-all wreath of roses.

The package of lies surrounding her alleged leads in the polls? Paid for phony polls to elicit a go-with-the-majority mindset of people who hadn't a clue who they were going to vote for 5 minutes before they arrived at the voting booth.

The only trouble with that must win thesis is that hypothetically, it discounted mature people who lived through her "I forget" bullshit and never trusted a Clinton even once after that. Those people in that category somehow may have accidentally on a purpose, missed getting polled for reasons only a crook pollster would know. And shill pollsters with an agenda know how to skew their own findings, because hypothetically, they're the ones who know how to omit a segment that might prevent them from earning the big bucks for their compliance with payors.

Just sayin'...
