Why ? This article really convinced me: Donald Trump's Ghostwriter Tells All at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016185363
The ghost-writer, who admittedly is not a shrink, says now that he would call the book "The Sociopath".

For a long time, I was convinced he was simply a Grade A malignant narcissist, worse than Bush. Nope. At least Bush told the truth *sometimes* (yes yes I know, he lied a lot but...). Trump lies with abandon and doesn't GIVE A SHIT. I think Bush at least had twinges of conscience about lying.

I could go on and on, but yea, he's a sociopath. Our saving grace is that he's not that smart. If he was as intelligent as President Obama, we'd be in very deep feces.

1. I've been calling him that for a year

3. One influential guy I know in DC calls him a "Narcissistic Psychopath."

He does a lot of media gigs, and he'd probably get blacklisted if I went into detail, but he is usually pretty middle-of-the-road, and for him to call a "leader (so to speak, anyway)" of either party a term like that is something that happens about as often as the appearance of Haley's comet.

4. hi my friend! may I ask, is your acquaintance a psychiatrist ?

If you'd rather no comment, I understand. How is your wife doing ? Fully recovered I hope ?

6. I'll PM you with details on him. You'll understand.

As for my wife, she is downright AMAZING. She looks wonderful, is incredibly upbeat, can do about 95% of what she could do before, just can't reach up and fiddle with heavy things with her arms outstretched any more. At least not for now. That was one VERY heavy 5 hour operation she suffered through, and we're ecstatic that she has recovered to the point she has. She has to go back for frequent checkups, of course, because if THAT kind of cancer recurs, it doesn't leave many survivors in its wake. The surgeon at her clinic didn't call it "the murderer" for nothing. Not many escape.

5. I think he is an angry five-year-old trapped in a man's body. Always seeking approval.

Never tolerating disapproval. Every day is a battle for him that is about him winning, no matter what he has to say or do.

7. napoleon lied a lot as well about little to big stuff. but at least he was smart.
