[QUOTE="DaisyDay, post: 70875867, member: 6146"] Says the guy who wrote the book. And it doesn't qualify for a personality disorder, either. The professor emeritus of psychiatry at Duke University Medical College goes on to state: [INDENT]Mr. Trump causes severe distress rather than experiencing it and has been richly rewarded, rather than punished, for his grandiosity, self-absorption and lack of empathy. It is a stigmatizing insult to the mentally ill (who are mostly well behaved and well meaning) to be lumped with Mr. Trump (who is neither). Bad behavior is rarely a sign of mental illness, and the mentally ill behave badly only rarely. Psychiatric name-calling is a misguided way of countering Mr. Trump’s attack on democracy. He can, and should, be appropriately denounced for his ignorance, incompetence, impulsivity and pursuit of dictatorial powers. His psychological motivations are too obvious to be interesting, and analyzing them will not halt his headlong power grab. The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological.[/INDENT] . So stop insulting the mentally ill with these comparisons! [/QUOTE]
