Re: Trump is burning the White House down
Trump has been classified as a Narcissistic Sociopath by a group of psychologists. Obviously, the man did not submit to an evaluation. However, his words/tweets and actions have been a matter of public record for most of his adult life, probably a larger body of an observation than a typical person undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
What matters to Trump? That people like him. That unfillable void causes the Narcissistic Sociopath to seek those who agree with him. An easy way to achieve that is to seek out those with strong opinions, Fox News, Putin, conspiracy theorists, etc. and build that around a cult of false achievement.
What is somewhat unique about Trump is the use of lawyers and lawsuits to bully his way to forward. In his path is a history of literally thousands of lawsuits over the years, those Trump initiated and those he fought against, that have a common purpose, intimidation of opponents. ( Donald Trump and his businesses have been involved in over 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal courts and state court and many others in local courts). Trump entered business life as the son of a billionaire. Those familiar with his career deeper than the TV persona have understood that his claims of success were a modus operandi for rolling from one failure to another, with success being the building of an iconic brand name that could be sold more profitably than any other product or service. However, few major publications found it benefitial to take the man on because it would rain down the rath of Trump's legal team and because the US brain-dead public had grown convinced of his glamorous portrayal.
