Trump's dangerous narcissistic personality - Part 2, with questions

[Radagast]

So the 25th Amendment is purely hypothetical?

Have you read it? It says: "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

It specifies who is to make an assessment of unfitness. It's not some random bunch of self-appointed psychiatrists.

True - but never forget that someone has to make the call to look into these unfortunate matters and a random bunch of shrinks writing for a paper might trigger the administration itself to start thinking about just how dangerous this man is!

The outline of such a possible fantasy can be discerned thus: Trump clearly believes that the world is a dangerous and threatening place, that alliances are treacherous, and that only strong nations standing alone can survive. He appears to believe that in this dangerous world the “superior” white, Christian civilisation is existentially threatened by “invasion” of “inferior” civilisations, chiefly non-white people, Islam and China. His policies are consistent with a vision that, under these circumstances, the US must ‘purify’ itself of immigrants, build up its military strength and seek new alliances with “strong” powers in place of the “weak” nations with which it is currently aligned.

His policies are consistent with a conviction that America must therefore seek the dissolution of its alliances with NATO and its small East Asian allies, along with the breakup of the European Union, and form a new and stronger alliance with white, Christian Russia. An alliance of the US and Russia, which would command 92% of the world’s nuclear weapons, would be unassailable in any coming confrontation with Islam and China, North Korea or Iran. In this pathological narcissistic fantasy, Donald Trump would become “King of the World.”

He's a businessman. So in everything he does, he's likely to think and behave like one.

Using daddy's money to bankrupt casinos is not being "a businessman".

He's a failed businessman, widely known for self-dealing and fraud. So in everything he does, he's likely to think and behave like one.
