America’s newly re-elected and inimitable Chief Executive has proven himself deservant of referential descriptions, such as inept, or serial transgressor of accepted humanistic and societal standards of behavior, possessor of a monofocused and inflated ego with delusions of singular greatness. In the didactic lexicon of the discipline of Political Science, these traits might be assigned the historically repugnant designation of “tyrant.” In the context of the traditional mainstream American citizen, his statements and actions are conceivably seen as the egregious product of self-indulgent ignorance, aggravated by a characterological lack of moral compass. We share in such adjectival descriptions but would differ as to the perceived description of his depravity.
In earlier writing [M.202, NERO’S VIOLIN] we chose to declaratively “diagnose” Donald Trump’s singular persona as a stereotypical model of classic mental illness. Contrary to the popular perception of his singular persona as simply, uniquely, arrogant, and supremely confident, is his publica demonstration of symptoms normally associated with definitional schizophrenia and delusional paranoia. Stated otherwise, contrary to many citizens who, understandably and justifiably perceive Trump as a definitional example of the classic style of an autocratic tyrant, we have for some time, arrived at the contemplative conclusion that his bizarre acts and grandiose proclamations are more relevantly ascribed to cases of classic delusional mental illness.
Referring in temporal order to some of Trump’s diagnosably aberrant acts, we begin with his publically proclaimed conclusion that his earlier election loss to Joseph Biden was fraudulent, since “as Donald J. Trump” he would definitionally and unquestionably be the winner. In this Napoleonic state of mind, he summoned hundreds of his misled supporters to Washington, to mount a violent insurrection. Many of the Trump-inspired participants, who rioted, inflicted mayhem, injury, and acts of homicide, were thereafter tried by a jury, found guilty or confessed, and appropriately, awarded jail sentences. Trump publically and distortedly portrayed the members of his compliant mob as “political prisoners,” and “hostages.” When Trump was thereafter (surprisingly) elected to the Presidency, as promised, he immediately, pardoned the convicted criminals, who had acted out their criminal behavior in accordance of his insane invitation. This unprecedented, singular, and factually detestable exercise of arbitrary presidential power is inarguably, consistent with his systemic paranoid delusion, most notably as he was complicit in their criminal behavior.
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, his irrational delusion aggravated by his profound ignorance, was responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary mortalities. In Mad Hatter fashion, this bizarre Chief Executive publically advised the American people to ingest bathroom cleaner and to employ a veterinary horse-worm preventative as effective medicine appropriate to the horrendous COVID-19 pandemic and repudiation of vaccination was responsible for the unnecessary mortality of tens of thousands of American lives. This travesty was coupled with his subsequent arbitrary and shameless denigration and threats of criminal persecution directed at the knowledgeable and humanistic Dr, Anthony Fauci, who effectively halted the epidemic.
We would, in further support of our conclusion, refer to Trump’s pathological indifference to the still raging wildfire holocaust in Los Angeles as causative of the destruction of forest land, thousands of homes, businesses, and personal property. Despite the scientific attribution of the historical tragedy to the hazardous state of the carbon-polluted atmosphere, the disoriented Donald Trump has repeatedly persisted in his publically repeated maniacal mantra, “Drill baby drill.” The disoriented President has also, bizarrely called for the elimination of FEMA, the agency specifically created to ameliorate such tragedies. This dangerous, grossly distorted view of reality is inarguably pathological and was evident as in the example of his bizarre actions and statements during the pandemic.
Need we refer to Trump’s clinically diagnosable solution to the Nation’s immigration problem utilizing the inhumane and psychopathic separation of immigrant families as a deterrent and resolving to deport millions of long-time resident, immigrant families. Trump, a proven rapist, jury-convicted felon, briber, fixer, tax cheat and as demonstrated a systemic persona characterized by a total absence of a moral compass, as justification for his unhealthy and bigoted xenophobia, deludedly accuses immigrants of universally, being rapists and criminals.
Irrefutable evidence of his pathological delusion of “Napoleonic” grandeur is his issuance of a mere, handwritten, “Presidential directive” eradicating the portion of Article 14 of the Constitution which, since the 19th Century of American Constitutional history, provides the legal status of citizenship to all persons born in the United States. The clinically diagnosable and delusional exercise of such a sophomoric exercise of authority, without more is empirical proof of Trump’s schizophrenic delusion of omnipotence and god-like majesty.
As we have suggested in earlier writing, the application of ARTICLE 25 ( Presidential removal because of incapacitation) would, in our view, be more relevant and appropriate to the presently sitting President than the otherwise applicable, Criminal and Civil Law. If more clinical bases were conceivably be necessary, we might refer to his universally pronounced desire to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland and portions of Canada and rename the Gulf of Mexico, “The Gulf of America,” We rest our case.
