The Sociopath - Donald Trump

Published on Nov 3, 2016

He's been called an impostor, a fraud, a fake. A charlatan. His own ghostwriter for the book "The Art of the Deal" called him a sociopath. There are many words that describe Donald Trump, and there are just as many words that don't describe him: Conservative. Decent. Serious. Presidential.

Donald Trump has spearheaded one of the most divisive campaigns in modern politics and, in the eyes of many in his own party, is unfit to hold the highest office in the land.

But when the dust settles, whether he wins or loses, how will his campaign for the presidency be remembered? As an insurgency? Is it the story of someone "who fights" taking on power while taking power? Or will it be a hostile takeover from an invader that played out on national television as sane people watched and despaired? Will Trump be remember as the head of a movement, or the head of a snake? Or even as the snake-oil salesman and crony who hoodwinked millions?

And what of those who resisted? History will remember the resistance, but it remains to be seen if that will be positively or negatively.

But perhaps most importantly of all, will the people who support him ever get a clear picture of who he REALLY is?

“The Sociopath”, a film by Ben Howe, will show you not only who this man is, but more importantly, how he got to where he is, who supported him in doing so, and what it could mean for the future of the nation if he is elected.

Unfortunately, Cruz was on the campaign trail with Mike Pence, trying to help get the sociopath for whom he voted on Monday elected. smh

Ted is working to keep the Senate. He never mentioned Trump's name while campaigning with Pence. He only mentioned that he voted for him when a reporter asked.

Re: The Sociopath - Donald Trump

You know, when we talk sociopaths, we envision a Hollywood-esque version that includes serial killers and the like, instead of realizing that a huge number of people, many in your own neighborhood, and likely, in your family, clan, or unit, are sociopaths.

They aren't all killers, not by a long-shot, and they aren't all "bad" in the way we've been told to think of them.

Rather, sociopathology is an extreme form of narcissism, and is a psychological issue created in people when they are young due to harsh childhood circumstances in which a child was left to himself or herself in such a way that they never were able to form meaningful, emotional attachments, because no one cared enough to help them do so.

In this, they experience a denial of self, and create, then perpetuate an image, a false one at that, that must be maintained at all costs, even to the point of a complete lack of empathy for other human beings, the real definition of sociopathology.

It is a condition that deserves our sorrow and prayer, and shouldn't be used as a pejorative to denounce people we don't like.

I am a former sociopath. I know what it's like and what it takes to overcome, and how at the end of the day, only an encounter with God can ever really bring the self back into focus so the image can be destroyed, and meaningful, emotional attachments to other human beings can take place.

If Donald Trump is a sociopath, then instead of judging him for it, perhaps we could pity him and try to understand what made him that way, and hope for his recovery before we denounce him for it as a candidate and possible future president of the United States.

Re: The Sociopath - Donald Trump

Votivesoul, Donald has already stated he doesn't need to ask for forgiveness. He said his little wine and little cracker makes him feel better about himself. Chances of recovery are slim for Tuesday.

Howe's video is simply making a point while Evangelist floods the threads with GIFs.

That's like saying the bigger devil is Beelzebub compared to Legion.

Sorry folks the system is smoldering rubble.

The only president who matters is Jesus.

He is found on a white throne not in a White House.
