Just because this only just came up in your spergbook feed doesn't mean the rest of the world wasn't bored with it weeks ago. Do try and keep up,there's a good fellow.

Bad, not mad. Imagining he has an "illness" is a way of letting him off the hook. He's a bad man.

This diagnosing of Mental health problems via people's characteristics is crude and pointless and trivialises mental health.
Was all this stuff about people being psychopath's a few years ago from that Jon Ronson book..
There is something called The Goldwater Rule in America where by Mental health clinicians shouldn't be making clinical opinions about someone in public office or on TV.
it's great that there's more awareness and education about mental health/psychological difficulties now but the stuff around looking at Trump and what he may or may not be or what clinical diagnostic criteria is unfortunate at best.
And ironically quite often it's the people criticising him who are from a more seemimgly leftish/liberal/sensitive point of view that come up with this he's mentally ill/he's defective stuff.

Oh I dunno, I diagnosed Newmns as NPD a couple of years ago - purely based on forum posts. Even told him my thoughts on that in a thread. He didn't answer. He seldom answers me. I must be too small a fish to merit entering his grandiose orbit. Trump is clearly NPD. No doubt at all on that. But that doesn't make him not-bad. He's both bad and mad.
