are NOT mutually exclusive. I've seen it before, many times. Just not in a seat of power. He needs to be 25th Amendmented NOW.

Sadly, I know this term from watching too much television. It's listed as a side effect on one of the insufferable drug commercials.

Unfortunately that monster is willing and able with support of his sociopathic sycophants to burn the country to the ground. Hoping his steady diet of Mickey D's will take him out soon.

and yet no one does anything about it. He's there, in the seat of power, making "decisions", implementing policies, suing people who dare to offend his fragile ego, and no one does a damn thing about it.

the game plan must be to make him responsible for destroying everything and then dump him.

right in the head.

But this delusional sewer clown has the nuclear codes at his disposal.

…..will charge for the kool aid.

are in control of an un-fathomable nuclear arsenal.......Trump, Putin, Netanyahu..............

AND, if ever confronted with losing control, each of them are independently of the mindset of...... "I'll Show All Of You Assholes"...........the far right religious, and evangelicals will get their life's dream.......the "Apocalypse"

that never matured beyond the age of 12. Raised by an avowed racist slumlord. He literally believes he's the smartest person on the planet when in reality it's the exact opposite. And, the ultra morons (MAGA doofus idiots) that voted for and still worship him are living, breathing, talking examples of the Dunning Kruger effect in real time.

Every single one of my grandkids, even the most disadvantaged one, was more mature at 12 than he is. I'd peg him at about age 4. IF that!

it's the schoolyard bully, name-calling rhetoric he uses that reminds me of 6th grade level bullies.

Everything seems to lead to an image, not an article or anything with an author and some kind of journalistic source. In gray print on black background the name Pawlowski Mario appears, and that’s it.

Wish I knew more.

I saw the meme on Bluesky but the link wouldn't work.

Now compound it with late stage dementia
and it gets so insane nobody can really
make policy with it.. just destruction that
gets worse and worse.

Taoist emperors went mad from drinking lead-, arsenic- and mercury-infused elixirs that they thought would allow them to live forever.

A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion. The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology. The research was recently published in the Journal of Research in Personality.

The researchers conducted the study to better understand the psychological traits that underlie political ideology, particularly support for Donald Trump and conservative beliefs. Prior work had already linked conservative ideology with right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance, but the researchers hypothesized that malevolent personality traits might also play a role—especially given Trump’s rhetoric and behavior, which often display dominance, callousness, and disregard for social norms.

“This paper was several years in the making, starting as a result of the 2016 election, and was designed to address why some people might view favorably a political figure with a history of business failures, bankruptcies, misogynistic statements caught on video, use of charity money for a self-portrait, etc,” explained study author Craig Neumann, a Regents Professor of Psychology at the University of North Texas.

It is exactly what was on full display with the World Cup fiasco.

figure -- divinely chosen to lead. (Messiah complex.) Especially after surviving the Pa. shooting.

Step towards the light, magats.

he got 32% of registered voters and that is pathetic.

And the orange Mussolini is running the show

Way to say it. Throwing gas and screaming hallelujah.

"...people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion."

The phrase, "No shit, Sherlock," comes to mind. I don't think one needs a doctoral degree in psychology, or the results of a years' long study to come to this conclusion.

Sounds like a perfect fit.

I truly don’t understand why so many think he’s nuts. I think he’s just a mean and evil cult leader with lots of followers willing to do his bidding.

This guy and his tech bro backers are completely delusional and believe they can enslave the American people.

"A psychotic loop, in the context of mental health, refers to a cycle of worsening psychotic symptoms, often driven by a feedback loop involving brain activity and symptom severity. It's not a formal diagnostic term but rather a concept describing how psychotic experiences can intensify and perpetuate themselves. "

has officially entered the psychotic emperor phase."


In his mind he has been there all along.

when they see him refusing to release the 'Epstein files',
and those who understand that their Medicaid and Snap
will be cut off in 2027.....


I don't expect most of those people to "vote Democrat",
but a few of them will....

I expect MORE of them to fail to vote at all,
since Trump won't be on the ballot anymore,
and he isn't giving them any good reason to show up to vote
for Republican candidates......

(and plenty of reasons for Democrats and independents to show up
to vote AGAINST Republican candidates---

The lack of partisan 'backlash' in 2022,
won't be repeated in 2026 on behalf of Republicans!

He is what I have colorfully described as a “cluster B train wreck” (See DSM-5). In simple terms this means always needing to be the top dog, the center of attention, exclusively concerned about what benefits him without concern for the rights of or harm to others, and chronically stormy interpersonal relationships and identity fluctuation. He has all these qualities to the nth degree, and much can be explained from that perspective. Add to that that he is now caught in a trap of his own making, i.e., chickens coming home to roost. He is not mentally or psychologically well AND he is continuing on tried and true strategies which got him where he is today. They may seem like madness, and may actually be madness, but it is consistent with prior patterns of behavior.
