Since the early days of the Trump administration, an impassioned group of mental health professionals have warned the public about the president’s cramped and disordered mind, a darkened attic of fluttering bats. Their assessments have been controversial. The American Psychiatric Association’s code of ethics expressly forbids its members from diagnosing a public figure from afar.
Enough is enough. As I’ve argued before, an in-person analysis of Donald J. Trump would not reveal any hidden depths — his internal sonar could barely fathom the bottom of a sink — and these are exceptional, urgent times. Back in October, George T. Conway III, the conservative lawyer and husband of Kellyanne, wrote a long, devastating essay for The Atlantic, noting that Trump has all the hallmarks of narcissistic personality disorder. That disorder was dangerous enough during times of prosperity, jeopardizing the moral and institutional foundations of our country.
But now we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. The president’s pathology is endangering not just institutions, but lives.
Let’s start with the basics. First: Narcissistic personalities like Trump harbor skyscraping delusions about their own capabilities. They exaggerate their accomplishments, focus obsessively on projecting power, and wish desperately to win.

Well then it’s a good thing Obama isn’t potus.

good one gipper is that the best you have to excuse the pos you support?? Surely you can do better

Oh not excusing dumb Donnie. He’s a narcissist too. You’re just too much of a partisan doofus for failing to recognize that most of our presidents were likely narcissists. Ears was a huge narcissist.

And you are saying Obama acted like this shithead in our WH now???

What did O do for H1N1?

Really? That's your question? Well, here's your answer:

No, President Trump, the Coronavirus Is Nothing Like H1N1 Swine Flu Either

The president has been comparing his administration’s handling of COVID-19 to the way President Barack Obama’s team dealt with the H1N1 outbreak. He is wrong.

In tweets and other appearances, President Donald Trump has repeatedly compared his response to the new coronavirus with President Barack Obama’s handling of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. But Trump’s information is frequently incorrect or misleading -- and the two viruses are very different.

What the fuck does that mean? This is a fact-free universe? Everybody should just post their opinion without regard to reality?

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Part 3 Maybe some republicans will find their brain?
Third: Narcissistic personalities love nothing more than engineering conflict and sowing division. It destabilizes everyone, keeps them in control.
What that means, during this pandemic: Trump is pitting state against state for precious resources, rather than coordinating a national response. (“It’s like being on eBay,” complained Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York last week.) His White House is a petty palace of competing power centers. He picks fights with Democratic officials and members of the press, when all the public craves is comfort.
Narcissistic personalities don’t do comfort. They cannot fathom the needs of other hearts.
Fourth: Narcissistic personalities are vindictive. On a clear day, you can see their grudges forever.
What that means, during this pandemic: Trump is playing favorites with governors who praise him and punishing those who fail to give him the respect he believes he deserves. “If they don’t treat you right, don’t call,” he told Vice President Mike Pence.
His grudge match with New York is now especially lethal. When asked on Friday whether New York will have enough ventilators, Trump bluntly answered “No,” and then blamed the state.
And most relevant, as far as history is concerned: Narcissistic personalities are weak.
What that means, during this pandemic: Trump is genuinely afraid to lead. He can’t bring himself to make robust use of the Defense Production Act, because the buck would stop with him. (To this day, he insists states should be acquiring their own ventilators.) When asked about delays in testing, he said, “I don’t take responsibility at all.” During Friday’s news conference, he added the tests “we inherited were “broken, were obsolete,” when this form of coronavirus didn’t even exist under his predecessor.
This sounds an awful lot like one of the three sentences that Homer Simpson swears will get you through life: “It was like that when I got here.”

I doubt any Republicans will find their courage to speak out against Trump after this is all over. And I'm also sure that Trump and his team are taking notes on which Republicans supported him and which spoke out against him or seemed to criticize him. That scorecard will be revisited this fall when the campaign winds up. The story will end the same. Since Trump enjoys almost a 94% approval rating in the Republican party, any politician on his side of the aisle that speaks ill of him will be lambasted, shouted out, and tweeted to the end of their political career.

The good thing in all of this is that the Republican Party has to go all in on Trump. And given his administration's (and other Republican governors) inept response to this virus, it's likely the voters are going to hold that against him. You can see it in his eyes, his hand movements, and mannerisms when he's talking at the podium. The guy doesn't have an ounce of compassion or empathy. It just isn't in him. He may as well be reading a teleprompter speech about one of the many topics he has no idea of what he's speaking on.

Yup and even better that Hitlery isn't POTUS. What a shit show that would be.

Will it be Trumps vaccine?

Not if the Chinese develop it before the United States.

Bill Gates is building 7 factories for parallel development of various options. I posted a thread on it earlier. That isn't to say we'll get there first, but it's a good start.....
