Another day, another....An opinion piece in The Atlantic, well worth reading:
The Worst Outcome
From the LINK:
"At every turn, President Trump’s policy regarding coronavirus has unfolded as if guided by one rule: How can I make this crisis worse?
"Presidents are not all-powerful, especially not in the case of pandemic disease. There are limits to what they can do, for good or ill. But within those limits, at every juncture, Trump’s actions have ensured the worst possible outcomes. The worst outcome for public health. The worst outcome for the American economy. The worst outcome for American global leadership...
"There is always something malign in Trump’s incompetence. He has no care or concern for others; he cannot absorb the trouble and suffering of others as real. He monotones his way through words of love and compassion, but those words plainly have no content or meaning for him. The only thing that is real is his squalid vanity. This virus threatens to pierce that vanity, so he denied it as long as he could. What he refuses to acknowledge cannot be real, can it?
And even now that he has acknowledged the crisis, he still cannot act, because he does not know what to do. His only goal now is to shove blame onto others. Americans have to face the fact that in the grip of this pandemic, the Oval Office is for all practical purposes as empty as the glazed eyes of the man who spoke from that office tonight."
Those who watched Trump speaking from the Oval Office and will not read this piece will continue to post comments which will defy reality, and be somewhat culpable for the costs in blood and treasure to follow.

And you are always struck dumb.
And you are always a dissociated sociopath....There's no fuckin' way you could have ever passed an LE psych evaluation.
Bullshit. You use terms (dissociated sociopath, for example) that you use to try and convince others that you are educated and erudite. I know better. There is no such animal in DSM V, with a diagnostic name of dissociated sociopath.
The closest to come with this term (which may have been used decades ago) is Antisocial Personality Disorder, and nothing I've ever said, posted or done would diagnose me as someone who habitually and pervasively disregard or violate the rights and considerations of others without remorse.
Look in a mirror, and follow how trump's behavior fits nicely with this Personality Disorder, along with several other PD's in each of the three cluster, A, B & C.
Educated yourself, or at least look up the meaning of words and phrases you use, in that way you will not keep embarrassing yourself.
It's really your behavior that fits personality disorder. But you knew that already.
Gee, what behavior of mine fits "personality disorder"?
I'm surprised you use Personal Disorder as a singular diagnosis.
So to clear it up, please define in which Cluster of PD's, and what specific diagnosis have you found probative evidence to make this claim?
