Is You-Know-Who a Psychopath? - Here's the Actual Criteria

Much has been said about Trump's 'larger than life' persona, but there's a reason he's been so fascinating and is able to leverage his over-big personality into billions in free air time. It's because there is no brake on his mouth, no sense of decency in either topic or target, and the jaw-dropping comments and lies are never-ending. Much has also been said about his quite obvious narcissism, but the truth of the matter is actually worse than that. Like many authoritarian dictators in history, this guy is a psychopath. Anyone who is actually considering voting for him owes it to themselves and everyone else to read this. Olbermann's take on it has a humorous bent, but the topic is no laughing matter. We really can't afford to repeat history yet again with anyone so flawed. Make no mistake, Hillary would also tick off several of these criteria, especially the ability to lie constantly.

We have sane, intelligent, worthy candidates running on third party tickets. Maybe now's the time to tell both main parties that their lies, corruption and collusion are being seen for what they are.

Except that in his year of campaigning, Donald Trump has called Lindsey Graham “a nut job,” Glenn Beck “a real nut job,” and Bernie Sanders “a wacko.” Trump has insisted Ben Carson’s got a “pathological disease,” and asked of Barack Obama: “Is our president insane?” He called Ted Cruz “unstable,” “unhinged,” “a little bit of a maniac,” and “crazy or very dishonest.” He also called the entire CNBC network “crazy.” He called Megyn Kelly “crazy”—at least six times.

Sanity is a subjective term.

Depends on ones perspective.

Lunatics are running the asylum.

Maybe Trump is this countries last,best,hope to restore sanity back to the asylum.

Posted thread at 1:40; you answered at 1:45. Maybe you'd like to actually read the whole link before you respond? And quoting Trump calling everyone ELSE crazy doesn't exactly exonerate him.

wow, hillary scores real high on that test and i`m not talking about how she might react in a hypothetically situation i`m talking about her proven track record of how she has acted.
so, it seems our next president will either be a proven psychopath or a possible borderline psychopath.


let`s see which psychopathic traits hillary has already proven she is skilled at:

Criminal versatility....check
Failure to accept responsibility for one’s own actions...check
Irresponsibility...double check
Poor behavioral controls...check
Parasitic lifestyle...check
Callous/lack of empathy...check
Lack of remorse or guilt...check
Cunning/Manipulative...check
Pathological Lying...check
Grandiose sense of self-worth...check
Glibness/superficial charm...check

wow, this is probably the only test hillary has ever passed without cheating.

I honestly thought the "you-know-who" you referred to in the title was referring to Hillary, not Trump. I'll probably get blasted by Trump-or-die fans for my comment on this but i honestly don't really care:

I have a feeling Hillary would ring off the charts for being a psychopath, and Trump would be on the cusp or just barely meet the requirements - more than anything I just think trump is a self-absorbed, power hungry egotistical buffoon. Hillary on the other hand actually has blood on her hands and will sell out the safety of her country in a heartbeat, without any qualms.

Ditto.

The #ing hypocrisy is maddening. So many of you people care about everyone's rights, and being treated equally, How it's not ok to make fun of anyone else for being gay, handicapped, black, white etc. You go on about how awful it is that there is so much racism, sexism and any other ISMs in the world, but you turn around and act prejudice against people that can't help be what they are. Not all of us are terrible people, In fact a lot of us work towards a better tomorrow rather than a #y one we have to live in. You wonder why so many of them act terribly? You give them a reason to. You treat us like dirt, ALL of you.

That sounds like a lot of emotions, for a self proclaimed sociopath

I suppose you think each and every one of us is a copy/template of the other yes? You should go look up how it works from reputable sources. And in any case, it does nothing to invalidate my point.

a reply to: Tardacus

Agreed, which is why I'm advocating for everyone, on any side of the aisle, to take a good long look at the third party candidates. Many people are still asking 'Gary who?' which is inexcusable given the availability of information about him.

Only now that the corrupt candidates are locked in, is the media even bothering to notice the other guys; just like they did with Bernie, they're being marginalized. Only grassroots support will change things, and a vote for Trump or Hillary won't produce any positive change at all, just more of the same, or worse.

In the 80's and 90's 'creative financing', 'marginal banking', 'thinking outside the box', all these things became mainstream activities. We see how the monetary part ended up around 06-07. And how that new way of thinking tossed out morals and character, which were marginal at best anyway. We all found out 'how's that working out for you'.....

Donald may or may not be an Alpha Male, but he sure knows how to motivate those who are towards his best interest. For far too long we have elected our presidents out of fear, fear of an imagined enemy, a principality hell-bent on our destruction, a fictional character. Perhaps it is time to take up a leader adept in monetary successes. We had a shot in the 90's with Ross Perot, but the war hawks succeeded once again. In a sense Mitt Romney was a monetary oriented candidate. Donald Trump is now the current Monetary Wizard on the block.

It's always been the practice of painting your opponent as a radical crazed loon, from time immemorial. It's no different today. Name calling establishes a pseudo-platform from which to attack.... that is all were seeing here.
So this title 'psycho.........' anything has lost much of its effectiveness and meaning, and more often than not is mere hyperbole.

a reply to: neo96

Maybe is a big word. Do you really want to take that chance? I would rather take a chance on someone who isn't affiliated with both parties to bring sanity back to our government. At least someone who isn't narcistic, brings people together, talks intelligently, and doesn't deny or go back on his word a few days later.

I can understand people wanting to shake up the system, but he's just too crazy and stupid for me. Be careful what you wish for!

a reply to: SentientCentenarian

Trump is a psychopath.

Hillary is narcissistic, and may, possibly be a sociopath; although I think that the latter is a stretch.

Really, I can't support either one of them, but Trump will become a dictator in the most classical and notorious sense of the word. There is not one iota of doubt in my mind of that. Many, many people who know him as well as qualified professionals in mental health, sociologists, political scientists and even history experts are warning you and not one of you idiots will remember that you were indeed warned when things get bad. And they will get very bad. Any moron that votes for that lunatic deserves what he'll dish out, and they won't like it. Not. One. Bit.

If you want a leader that will bring about WWIII (no doubt on some frivolous point of personal ego) Trump is your guy.

If you want a leader that will indeed implement those FEMA camps (or equivalent of some sort), then Trump is your best bet.

If you want a leader that will pad his ego and his pocket at the expense of ordinary citizens, Trump is perfect.

If you want a leader that will manifest an escalating contempt and disregard for human life, well guess what, Hillary has nothin' on Donald T.

I honestly believe this man is capable of death-camp level atrocity. I also believe that he is going to be our next President. We are lost and most of you are too stupid or too caught up in paroxysms of Group Think to know what you are doing.

Hillary makes me very nervous. Trump scares the ever-loving crap out of me.

There. I said it. Although most of you have your heads entirely too far up your collective rectums to hear.

Yep seven days a week and twice on sundays over a woman that is known to be bi polar, and have violent outbursts.

Definition 'red herring' - something unimportant that is used to stop people from noticing or thinking about something important.

Now how in the world would at least one (and probably both) of the mainstream picks for President being a psychopath be unimportant?

God forbid we should discuss the Giant Orange Elephant in the room.

It's highly unlikely that Hillary is bi-polar; she is too in control. Sociopathic maybe, but not bi-polar. Bi-polar people don't get to pick when their brain chemistry goes awry. A manic episode in particular would present more behavior that could not be hidden. We would see more evidence of that in the public sphere, no matter how many handlers she has.

I'm giving you that statement without reservation.

If Trump can't pull it off, Americans need to rally for four long years and 'produce' a Third Party candidate who can stop anyone from the establishment.

a reply to: SentientCentenarian

NONSENSE.

The gritchy pants suit--yeah, she'd probably qualify.

. . . except for her ragaholism . . .

certainly she is a compulsive pathological liar.
certainly she is a homicidal maniac.
certainly she has not a shred of morality or compunctions about doing any number of a long list of evil deeds--then laughing, cackling about them.

certainly she is an EXTREME NARCISSIST.
certainly she is pathologically vengeful, spiteful, ruthless, greedy, power-mongering.

She's probably the most psychopathic politico on the world stage currently--by a good margin.

And that's just in view of the well publicized stuff in her own words and often in her own videos.
