Trump's Antisocial Personality Disorder
I spoke with a guy called John Gartner on my podcast last year. He's a clinical psychiatrist used to lecture at Johns Hopkins University. His diagnosis was that Trump is very clearly a malignant narcissist. My approach to his presidency was just to say I don't want someone like this with their hands anywhere near the nuclear codes. The risks are just too high they're too unpredictable and they'll lash out to protect their ego. In some real sense they're not human they don't have empathy other lives might not have as much meaning for such a person as they would for someone without malignant narcissism.
