TRUMP IS A SOCIOPATH

We all know Trump is the ultimate textbook narcissist.  A multitude of psychologists have suggested the diagnosis – and it is obvious even to the layperson. 

But Trump is also a sociopath.

According to the Mayo Clinic -

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.”

Among the symptoms of this disorder include -

Persistent lying or deceit to exploit others.

• Being callous, cynical and disrespectful of others.

• Arrogance, a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated.

Lack of empathy for others and lack of remorse about harming others.

• Failure to consider the negative consequences of behavior or learn from them.

And Psychology Today tells us -

Sociopathy refers to a pattern of antisocial behaviors and attitudes, including manipulation, deceit, aggression, and a lack of empathy for others.”

The defining characteristic of the sociopath is a profound lack of conscience  ".

If you ask me this describes Trump to a “T”.
