JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A SILLY ACADEMIC STUDY OF WHETHER TRUMP IS A PSYCHOPATH - A NON-STORY FEATURED BY SEVERAL NEWSPAPERS IN A RELENTLESS PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ZOE WILLIAMS IN THE GUARDIAN


‘Is Trump a psychopath?”

A truly lame academic study.

This kind of silliness with psychology is something only to ignore, but because The Guardian has a non-stop hate campaign against Trump, it is not ignored.

The fact is, all natural leaders are along the spectrum: narcissists to psychopaths.

The important point is that there are degrees of the conditions in all of them.

It is well known, for example, that people working in high finance are often psychopathic, but they are not the psychopaths who kill, just manipulate.

Trump hasn't killed anyone.

Hillary has, lots of them, and she has joked about it. What on earth do you call her video statement about the just murdered Gadhafi: “We came, we saw, he died. Ha ha ha.”

Obama has, lots of them, and he has also joked about it, saying in a meeting, “I’m pretty good at this killing.”

George Bush has, lots of them.

Bill Clinton has, quite a few.
