We may have missed the mark in our previous presumption that Donald Trump, as a permanent resident of his personal, impenetrable bubble, is, by such bizarre mental confinement, perceptively unaware of the Nation’s Constitution and Rule of Law. He has routinely undermined both, causing Americans to feel less safe. Upon further contemplation, we have come to see that his pernicious actions including, firing vitally needed public servants, dissolving federal agencies, taking taxpayer money from our communities, tactically firing inspector generals, and notably, by his all- pervasive failure to adhere to societal moral and legal mandates, that his motivating dynamic is more accurately described as blatantly and shamelessly, intentional.
Based on his exemplary record of self-serving and bizarre behavior, we, in our previous perception and writings, had ubiquitously described his persona as neurotically incapable of awareness or recognition of the humanistic social contract and, secluded in his singularly impenetrable mental bubble, oblivious of the Nation’s rule of law and its societal standards of propriety,
With appropriate apology, we have come to the alternative, accurate perception of his true repulsive sociopathic persona. Our confident view is that Trump is, in plain fact, demonstrably cognizant of the societal and legal rules of the road, but, in his diagnosably sociopathic arrogance, perceives himself, singularly and imperiously, not bound by such societal strictures. Such an amended understanding as to Trump’s speciously neurotic sense of exclusivity is conceptually consistent with his sociopathic self-image. Stated differently, we have become obliged to assume that in some primitive section of Trump’s brain, there is, in fact, a basic awareness that no society can endure without ubiquitous ground rules; it is simply that the kingly orange haszmat does not see them as personally relevant to or binding on “HIM.”
The following recognizable traits, we understand, are traditionally and diagnosibly concomitant with sociopathy: defining oneself by, an overweening sense of self-importance, a sense of power over others, manipulative prowess, the aspiration for greater power, and the absence of any discernible sense of guilt. The foregoing adjectival description might adequately serve as a final sketch before the traditional painting of the Presidential portrait of Donald Trump.
We can painfully recall an incident when our protagonist rudely and without a trace of sympathy chose to mimic the symptomatically shaking body and voice of a palsied reporter, dutifully questioning him, on public television. The crass billionaire with gold residential bathrooms who, with an empty conscience, strives to cut needed support to starving third world countries and eliminate the empathic programs of governmental empathy, such as FEMA, Social Security, Medicaid, as well as the Nation’s medical research services, merits little ameliorating sympathy.
In past writings, we have proscriptively suggested that as a mandatory prerequisite to their nomination, all aspiring Presidential candidates be responsibly vetted, as an assurance of basic acceptability, characterologically and experientially, to hold the august office of the American Presidency; just as a job interview is universally required to apply for far more mundane employment. We will continue to do so with the ample, additional evidence of the ill-suited present Chief Executive..
