THREAD: TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL PSYCHOPATH
I think we've had this exchange B4 yes? Ive said from t/start (despite all who vociferously insisted over& over hes a malignant narcissitic) TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL PSYCHOPATH (whos dementing but that's a diff thread) & have written extensive 1/

threads (see @threadreaderapp) explaining what criminal psychopathy is and why Trump is a criminal psychopath, AKA more formally as Anti-Social Personality Disorder w/Psychopathy (ASPDp).

1) Trump is NOT a Narcissist. He does NOT have NPD and IS NOT a nalignant narcissist 2/
(which BTW isn't even a valid DX, is not in any iteration of the DSM and more importantly IS NOT backed by research)

Lastly (but very importantly) narcissists ARE NOT DRIVEN BY SADISM

2) Trump is NOT a sociopath (someone who due to poverty & social oppression with few if
3/
any other options, is driven to crime to survive; who does not particularly enjoy it but as the only way to survive, become a way of life...eventually you become numb as that's just a fact of life)

4/
3) Trump IS/HAS Anti-Social Personality disorder w/PSYCHOPATHY
which is driven by sadism

i.e. Trump is a PSYCHOPATHIC criminal

Trump IS NOT a sociopath. He does not now nor did he ever need to commit crimes to survuve. TRUMP IS DRIVEN TO CRIME BECAUSE HE ENJOYS 5/
THE CRUELTY INVOLVED IN "THE KILL, GETTING OVER" (sadism) etc

All psychopaths have narcissitic features, however the source of those features (what causes them) is not narcissitic wounding.

Instead, what drives the criminal psychopath and Trump is sadism

The difference 6/
in terms of profiles re: behavior, what one can expect and treatment between the three above disorders is profound

NPD is treatable

Sociopathy is treatable although it requires intensive support which includes gaining the education that allows one to leave poverty behind

7/
Sucessful treatment methods re psychopaths are as yet unknown. Psychopaths driven by sadism are known to be WIRED DIFFERENTLY (plethora of imaging studies on this) and do not respond well to any known treatment (altho it's been noted that a small number 8/
of criminal psychopathic patients have seen a partial degree of success via heavy monitoring using behavioral management, however this is not the norm & should not be expected)

I hope that was clear. Its the thick down & dirty readers 9/
digest condensed version of a whole lot of thick material over a very few tweets.

What ARE these people so on re weed about? Theres NOTHING abt weed comes anywhere close to t/individual, 1/


relational, marital familial, societal and physical and mental health damage done by alcohol (ism) daily. PERIOD FULL STOP

Bottom line: Cannabis Use/Abuse Disorder is far less (note t/word LESS) common, far less damaging both in t/short- & long-term & pop #s for Cannibis Use/Abuse are no where near those of alcoholics & the resulting death maiming 5/

Theres not a lot 1 can do abt this either. There are SOME divisions but not as many as one might like to think & there are an infinite number of fuzzy boundaries ie., as in vaccinations. This is a highly fluid & often volatile life stage to navigate married or single & 2/

things are muddy as hell (this is an area I've researched tracked, and personally experienced as part of that natural child birth community). Women are isolated by society and thats a problem on both the right and the left. Women are vilified & looked down on when they do 3/

More from Trump

To those who want to actually help Claudia Conway after her mom (Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s former aide) posted her underage daughter’s nudes to Fleets, fill out a report on the NCMEC CyberTipline.
CPS refused to help her.
#HelpClaudia


Kellyanne Conway has a well-documented history of verbally abusing, gaslighting, and threatening her daughter. It gets worse when highly public things go viral (such as exposing the truth about Trump and Conway catching COVID-19 last October). Kellyanne coerces false statements.

Insider did a thorough chronological background of the history of exposing her parents abuse and control of her here:
https://t.co/ncjaEyLOSC

We all know that “statement” last year was coerced. She talks constantly about being abused by them.


Personally? I suspect Kellyanne is a narcissist. From my own experience being sexually and emotionally abused by a narcissist, they are obsessed with controlling the narrative (coerced typed statement), discrediting their victim (posting her nudes) & gaslighting

If you haven’t experienced gaslighting or aren’t familiar with it, it’s when someone causing you harm (physical, emotional, sexual, financial, etc) twists the facts and asserts that reality is just you being delusional and you don’t actually understand what happened.
Allow me to offer some commentary on several SCOTUS cases that are NOT the #moab, but which, considered in aggregate, will reveal my impressions on the #TRUMPSMASH #lawOfFunny

Can someone give me a google number or something? I want a party line.
