2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Madness Of Donald Trump
It occurs to me that Trump might have a legitimate Mental Illness. He clearly is a Narcissist to the point that it is a Personality Disorder. He has no compunctions about lying, has no empathy for others. This goes beyond temperament. I am sympathetic to the plight of people who suffer Madness, but a Personality Disorder should disqualify a person from being President. Trump is truly dangerous, and it is a sad state when the nominee of the Republican Party is clearly not mentally stable.

(91 posts)I wonder if we could get him diagnosed publicly. Maybe get a Psychiatrist on CNN to explain how a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder behaves.

(91 posts)From Wikipedia-
"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings. People affected by it often spend a lot of time thinking about achieving power or success, or about their appearance. They often take advantage of the people around them. The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a variety of situations."
Trump seems like a textbook case. This person can not be trusted with Nuclear Codes. Stop Trump at all costs.
