Trump is not well...

[OfTheCross]

Donald Trump’s disordered personality—his unhealthy patterns of thinking, functioning, and behaving—has become the defining characteristic of his presidency. It manifests itself in multiple ways: his extreme narcissism; his addiction to lying about things large and small, including his finances and bullying and silencing those who could expose them; his detachment from reality, including denying things he said even when there is video evidence to the contrary; his affinity for conspiracy theories; his demand for total loyalty from others while showing none to others; and his self-aggrandizement and petty cheating.

He's crazy and we all know it. I just don't see how he wins the next election


edit: i just realized that The Atlantic is considered a lefty website. Don't let that detract from the message, though. I think the diagnosis is quite accurate.

You need to shorten your excerpts....especially on left leaning sites

   I got to admire the ballziness in your post here @OfTheCross AND the Moderators tolerance.
   I've been on butt salve going on 3 years now and I still don't have the courage to post something like this.

   Consider that maybe you need to set a good example for our President:

duly noted. I didn't want to edit out the examples of his lack of sanity because otherwise the OP would lack context.

No worries.  I fixed it for you and showed the source of the OP.

Eh, I didn't check the source because I got it straight for another political forum that I thought was Conservative.

The mods here are pretty cool and sane human beings. Lots of sensible conversations.

I just hope that more people on the Right acknowledge Trump's personality disorders.

You don't have to care. But at least tell me you see it.

Actually, these kinds of pieces, not in exactly this vein, have been routine in the NYT and WaPo. I think one of those two even had editorials with something like "Trump is a racist",  misogynist, corrupt,  now, their articles are a bit in the "boy who cried wolf " syndrome. They've said it and now, it doesn't have much affect.

I was in a bookstore last week, "The Atlantic", $8.99 and it was pretty thick for a glossy magazine. I bought one a few years ago, it wasn't as pricey, maybe under $5 and it was real thin in comparison, 48 pages maybe.  Look at this Paul Wehner's other editorial at link, "Trump's words are poison". It's hard to get too wound up on this.

There could be at some time, a true reason to be alarmed, it's like the "boy who cried wolf."

uh huh

The Left's disordered personality—their unhealthy patterns of thinking, functioning, and behaving—have become the defining characteristics of their psychoses. They manifest themselves in multiple ways: extreme narcissism;  addiction to lying about things large and small, including their finances and bullying and silencing those who could expose them (Hi Bill and Hill); their detachment from reality, including denying things they said even when there is video evidence to the contrary; their affinity for conspiracy theories or collusion; their demand for total loyalty from others while showing none to others; and their self-aggrandizement and petty cheating.

There. Fixed it.

Why?  Who cares about his flaws when he is doing his damned job? He won an election to be POTUS. Not a choirboy.

Nobody could possibly write a better description of the American Left, and Hollywood in particular. This is one of the best 'projection' pieces I have read in a while. The Left just looks in a mirror, writes what they see, and then pastes it on anyone who opposes them. Amazing, really. Articles like this really expose how far gone, how deranged, the American Left has become.

He’s a narcissist of the first order...

But because he at least sees the reality of the world he’s also infinitely more sane than any libtard.  So where does that leave you?

In the same place as you, most likely. A sane person that's slightly ashamed of the President's behavior.

If you don't hold your POTUS to a higher standard of comportment you might as well move to a country with an "eccentric Dictator" type. A la Gaddafi.

I appreciate your moving it to the correct Category, so it can get the respect it deserves.

I do. Who do you think was leading the charge that he not be allowed to Tweet? I didn't vote for him last time because I can't personally stand the SOB. But I am this time.

IMO he is the ONLY person in the Fed Gov with any power that is trying to do right things for this country. Without him I wouldn't have to move to Libya because we would BE Libya.

Is the bar open in lounge?  I'm a bit parched from my walk about.

Bar is always open. Doesn't mean there is anything left to drink.

Damn that corbe.

   The Bar is empty I even went upstairs into the women's restroom and drank all the cough syrup in the medicine cabinet that they were hiding.

That wasn't cough syrup even though it was cherry flavored.

The Castle Bar is open, as well as the lounge.  I had a PITA.  Tap just blew foam halfway through the draw.  I had to switch kegs.  I know....First World problems.
