Trump the Liar

August 15, 2024 Uncategorized

The Washington Post reported that former President Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading statements during his time in office.

The above video shows false statements debunked by Politifact such as: “There is no evidence Joe Biden won” , “In 2020, the ballots that were counted were fake ballots” , “Eighty-two percent of the country understands that the 2020 election was rigged” , “The Harris-Biden Administration fraudulently manipulated Job Statistics”… “Kamala Harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses to give chemical castration drugs to young children”… “Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, so I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis”…… “Democrats used COVID to cheat in the 2020 election”.

Trump accused Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary and Ted Cruz’s father of being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.

Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.

Trumpworld lies get more outrageous with a month to election

Chris Hayes: “The term ‘misinformation’ doesn’t quite do enough to capture what is happening with one half of the American two-party system. Outright brazen, dangerous, ludicrous lies in denial of the most obvious reality, the one you can see before you.”

Factchecking Trump’s debate claims: from abortion to Project 2025

Donald Trump repeatedly made false and misleading claims about immigrants “eating the pets”, his connection to Project 2025 and the Central Park Five, among other topics, during his debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Here are the facts on some of the false claims offered during Tuesday’s debate.

Donald Trump claimed that crime is way up in the US.
The facts: Trump is wrong: crime is actually down. Data from the FBI found that violent crime decreased during the Trump administration, spiking in 2020 during the pandemic and continuing to trend downward afterwards. Preliminary data from the FBI found that violent crime was down 6% in 2023, and 15% in the first quarter of 2024.Violent crime decreased throughout most of Trump’s presidency, according to FBI data that uses information provided by law enforcement agencies. However, it spiked in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has trended downward since 2020 across the US, nearing pre-pandemic levels in 2022. Preliminary FBI data for 2023 shows that violent crime overall was down another 6% that year. Though the data is preliminary, it includes numbers from 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the country.
Trump repeated one of his usual falsehoods: that abortions are taking place in the ninth month of pregnancy.
The facts: Fewer than 1% of abortions are performed past 21 weeks of pregnancy; when these abortions do take place, they often occur in medical emergencies or cases of fetal anomalies. Trump also suggested, at multiple points, that abortions take place after birth. That would be infanticide, and it is illegal in all 50 states.
Trump denied knowledge of Project 2025, a 900-page plan for the aggressive rightwing overhaul of nearly every aspect of the federal government.
Project 2025 suggests ridding the federal ranks of many appointed roles and stacking agencies instead with more political appointees aligned with, and more beholden to, Trump’s policy prescriptions.The facts: Though Trump has tried repeatedly to distance himself from the platform, which seeks to strip away reproductive, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, his policies align heavily with Project 2025. As the Guardian’s Rachel Leingang reported: “Trump well knows the Heritage Foundation and has spoken at their events, and [Kevin] Roberts, Heritage’s leader, has previously said he and Trump have talked several times. Project 2025’s authors and supporters contain a ton of former Trump administration officials.”
Donald Trump has spouted off a number of false claims about immigration. Among other allegations, he said immigrants are “taking over the towns … They’re going in violently.”
The facts: That’s false. Although some US cities have seen an influx of immigrants, most have arrived legally, with work permits or with authorization to stay while their cases are worked out in the courts.There has been no widespread violence in these cities and, overall, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the US-born according to multiple, extensive studies, including from the conservative Cato Institute.
Trump repeated an unsubstantiated claim that immigrants are eating pets in an Ohio town, forcing the moderator to tell him that there is no proof of that.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats … they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” the former president said. The story of migrants allegedly eating pets has circulated in rightwing media in recent days and been repeated by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. Bansal Oreus helps other Haitian immigrants with government documents at the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Springfield, Ohio, U.S., August 15, 2024.
Republicans spread baseless slurs about ‘cat-eating migrants’ in Ohio city
The facts: These are false and unsubstantiated claims. “You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,” moderator David Muir told Trump. The Springfield News-Sun reported on Monday that police have “received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten”.
Donald Trump repeated misinformation about the result of lawsuits contesting the 2020 election results.
The former president said that “no judges looked at” lawsuits he and allies filed about irregularities in the election. “They said we didn’t have standing. A technicality. Can you imagine a system where a person in an election doesn’t have standing? The president of the United States doesn’t have standing. That’s how we lost,” Trump said.The facts: That’s misleading. Some lawsuits were dismissed due to a lack of standing – meaning that those who brought the lawsuits didn’t have a stake in the results. Others were decided on merit. Judges found in some cases that evidence provided was speculative, or failed to show fraud.
Trump doubles down on claims about the exonerated Central Park Five
Donald Trump doubled down on his claims that the exonerated Central Park Five – Black teenagers who were arrested in connection with the rape and assault of a white female jogger in 1989 and convicted based on police-coerced confessions. Back then, Trump called for the execution of the five children. When Kamala Harris brought up Trump’s stance, he dug in: “They pled guilty … They badly hurt a person, they killed a person, ultimately.”The facts: The five boys were tried as adults and actually pleaded not guilty. And the victim, Trisha Meili, although almost killed, was found unconscious in the park, survived and testified in court. All of them were exonerated after a convicted murderer confessed to the crime in 2002. In 2014, they were awarded a $41m settlement. In 1989, before any of the boys had faced trial, Trump paid a reported $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city’s newspapers, including the New York Times, calling for their execution. The headline read: “Bring Back the Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!” and above his signature Trump wrote: “I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence.”

This article was amended on 11 September 2024 to make clear that, contrary to Donald Trump’s claims, the Central Park Five pleaded not guilty at trial, and the victim in the case survived.

Trump lied non-stop during the 2024 Presidential Debate and behaved like a mean spirited asshole bully

List of Trump’s outrageous lies and false statements;

Trump’s Lie about January 6th: “Nancy Pelosi, if you watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter who is a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this,’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard, and she turned them down.”

Fact Check: Nancy Pelosi never claimed to be responsible for January 6th. She can be seen on film during the January 6th attack on the Capitol asking local officials to deploy National Guard troops to the Capitol when it became clear Trump wasn’t going to deploy the D.C. National Guard.

Pelosi’s daughter is a documentary filmmaker who was making a film about her mother in 2021, and was filming in the Capitol on January 6th. She followed her mother and other members of Congress into a secure facility after the Capitol was evacuated. The footage can be seen in the Pelosi documentary, Pelosi in the House, on HBO.

The Speaker of the House has no authority over the National Guard. The Speaker of the House is not in the military chain of command, and does not have any authority to “turn down” National Guard troops that are ordered to defend the Capitol by the President.

Trump’s Lie about Abortion: “They’re radical because they will take the life of the child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the Governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, ‘we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we will do with the baby,’ meaning will kill the baby.”

Fact Check: Democratic Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia never said that. Here is what Northam said:

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Northam’s words were taken out of context. He was referring to palliative care of infants who have no chance of survival after birth: making them as comfortable as possible for the final hours of their life at the wishes of the parents, not intentionally killing them. Killing an infant after it is born is considered murder in all 50 states. No law has been proposed in any state to make infanticide legal.

Trump’s Lie about his N.Y. Criminal Case: “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

Fact Check: Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York for falsifying business records related to reimbursement payments to his then lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about her sexual relationship with Donald Trump before the 2016 election.

A jury of Trump’s peers found that he did, in fact, have sex with a porn star, and illegally tampered with financial records to keep his hush money payment about their affair a secret.

Here is the complete list of every lie Trump told during his debate with President Biden on Thursday (provided by the Biden-Harris campaign):

1. “We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well, and everybody was amazed by it.”

2. “The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, they’re bounced back from the COVID.”

3. “[10% universal tariff proposal is] not going to drive [prices] higher.”

4. “[Tariff proposal is] just going to just force [other countries] to pay us a lot of money.”

5. “I gave you the largest tax cut in history.”

6. “I was getting out of Afghanistan, but we’re getting out with dignity, with strength, with power.”

7. “The tax cuts spurred the greatest economy that we’ve ever seen.”

8. “Now, when we cut the taxes…we took in more revenue with much less tax.”

9. “We had largely fixed [COVID].”

10. “Throughout the entire world, we’re no longer respected as a country. They don’t respect our leadership. They don’t respect the United States anymore. We’re like a third world nation.”

11. “He allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails, and mental institutions to come into our country and destroy our country.”

12. “He’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in.”

13. “The Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill.”

14. “Every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted [abortion] brought back to the states.”

15. “They’re radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we do with the baby, meaning will kill the baby.”

16. “Under Roe v. Wade, you have late term abortion. You can do whatever you want depending on the state. You can do whatever you want.”

17. “He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons, people that are from mental institutions, insane asylum, terrorists.”

18. “He didn’t need legislation because I didn’t have legislation. I said close the border.”

19. “[Migrants are] living in luxury hotels in New York City and other places.”

20. “He doesn’t care about our veterans. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t like the military at all, and he doesn’t care about our veterans.”

21. “I had the highest approval rating for veterans taking care of the VA. He has the worst. He’s gotten rid of all the things that I approved.”

22. “First of all, that was a made-up quote, ‘suckers and losers.’ They made it up.”

23. “Our veterans and our soldiers can’t stand this guy. They can’t stand him. They think he’s the worst Commander in Chief, if that’s what you call him, that we’ve ever had.”

24. “He did nothing to stop [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine]. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.”

25. “Iran was broke with me. I wouldn’t let anybody do business with them. They ran out of money. They were broke.”

26. “You had no terror at all during my administration.”

27. “Nancy Pelosi, if you just watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter, who’s a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh, no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard. And she turned them down.”

28. “The unselect committee, which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now, out of office, and Democrats, all Democrats, they destroyed and deleted all the information they found because they found out we were right. We were right. And they deleted and destroyed all of the information.”

29. “Telling the Ukrainian people that we’re going to want a billion dollars or you change the prosecutor, otherwise you’re not getting a billion dollars. If I ever said that, that’s quid pro quo.”

30. “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

31. “He basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage me.”

32. “He made up the Charlottesville story.”

33. “He caused the inflation and it’s killing Black families and Hispanic families.”

34. “They can’t buy groceries anymore, they can’t, you look at the cost of food where it’s doubled and tripled and quadrupled. They can’t live, they’re not living anymore.”

35. “[European countries] don’t want anything that we have.”

36. “Almost every police group in the nation from every state is supporting Donald J. Trump. Almost every police group.”

37. “And what he’s done to the black population is horrible, including the fact that for ten years he called them super-predators.”

38. “And yet during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever.”

39. “The Paris accord was going to cost us $1 trillion and China nothing and Russia, nothing, and India nothing. It was a rip off of the United States and I ended it because I didn’t want to waste that money because they treated us horribly…. Nobody else was paying into it and it was, it was a disaster.”

40. “I’m the one that got the insulin down for the seniors. I took care of the seniors.”

41. On migrants: “They’re taking over our schools our hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over our schools or hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over Social Security.”

42. “But Social Security – he’s destroying it because millions of people are pouring into our country and they are putting them onto Social Security. They’re putting them onto Medicare, Medicaid. They’re putting them in our hospitals.”

43. “He wants open borders. He wants our country to either be destroyed, or he wants to pick up those people as voters.”

44. “He wants the Trump tax cuts to expire.”

45. “He wants to raise your taxes by four times. He wants to raise everybody’s taxes by four times.”

46. “We now have the largest [trade] deficit in the history of our country under this guy. We have the largest deficit with China.”

47. “He gets paid by China. He’s a Manchurian candidate. He gets money from China. So I think he’s afraid to deal with them.”

48. “We had two cases, we paid $6 billion for five people.”

49. “They talk about a relatively small number of people that went to the Capitol, and in many cases were ushered in by the police.”

50. “I would have much rather accepted these [election results in 2020], but the fraud and everything else was ridiculous.”

Trump Lies about Non-existent Protestors

For years, Trump has lied about how many supporters attended his presidential inauguration and numerous campaign rallies.

Now he’s pushing a blatant lie about how many supporters have attempted to show up at his first criminal trial – and he’s making additional false claims about security measures around the Manhattan courthouse, which he is baselessly blaming for keeping these supposed supporters away.

After The New York Times published a story that said Trump was unhappy with the meager crowd he saw when he arrived at the courthouse for opening statements on Monday, On April 24, 2024 , Trump got caught in one of his biggest lie yet by falsely claims police turned away ‘thousands’ from Manhattan courthouse and that supporters ‘can’t get near’ and wrote on social media that “Lower Manhattan surrounding the Courthouse was completely CLOSED DOWN.” And he told reporters inside the courthouse on Tuesday: “For blocks you can’t get near this courthouse.”

This is more proof of what a Narcissistic Psychopathic Nutcase Trump is who is either one of the biggest liars in American History or/and he’s so delusional that he believes his own bullshit. And it’s more proof that Trump is totally unfit to hold ANY position in Public Office, let alone President of the United States.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents have been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question the lies from Republican politicians.

When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the ‘Liberal Media’ is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.

According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.

The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.

The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.

“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.

“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.

CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”

Analysis: Telling lies has become the norm for today’s Republicans | CNN Politics

To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.

Per the above article: “To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.

For a minority party joining blue-collar voters driven by cultural resentment with affluent donors fixed on the bottom line, gaining and wielding power requires dissembling beyond the conventional equivocation that politicians in all parties have always used to amass popular support.

One of the GOP’s most successful political consultants of recent decades issued that judgment in a confessional 2020 memoir. Stuart Stevens titled his book: “It Was All a Lie.”

A Public Religion Research Institute poll earlier this year showed about one-fourth of Republicans are drawn to the bizarre fantasies of QAnon, a movement that contends Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government and the media.

With the 2020 big lie, Republicans use false claims of fraud to pretend Trump didn’t lose at all. In fact, House Republicans have made telling the truth about the election a disqualification. They fired Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair and ostracized Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republican members participating in a House committee investigation of January 6.”

Trump Unfit to be President

Trump was the WORST and most INCOMPETENT President in history which his own staff reportedly called a ‘Moron’ , ‘Idiot’ and ‘Dope With The Intelligence of a Kindergartner’

A book called “The Toddler in Chief” details more than 1,000 documented reports by Cabinet members, Oval Office advisers, Republican Party officials and the President himself having childlike behavior and temper tantrums. Reports claim White House aides had to treat Trump like a child in order to placate him.

According to news reports & various sources, White House Staffers & Cabinet Members claimed Trump is “an Idiot”, “a f***ing moron”, “dumb as shit”, “dope with the intelligence of a kindergartner”, “like an 11 year old child”, “a professional liar”, “thinks he God”, “he tries to divide us”, “don’t think he’s fit for office”, was unable to stay focused, had a 2 minute attention span and required a ‘Special Folder’ with flattering news and photos about himself twice a day. Former DHS official Miles Taylor stated Trump was “Incandescently stupid” and had to “dumb down” classified memos so Trump could understand them.

The Dangerous Behavior of Donald Trump

Experts in this film discuss Trump’s most alarming traits.

• Pervasive pattern of grandiosity
• Inflated sense of accomplishment
• Excessive need for admiration
• Boastfulness
• Hypersensitivity to criticism
• Deceit
• Manipulation
• Lying
• Aggression
• Irresponsibility
• Impulsivity
• Lack of remorse when hurting others
• Holds fixed beliefs that are verifiably false
• Not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence

He exhibits every one of these traits. Experts show an individual with a hair-trigger temper and an inability to protect America. Trump feels perpetually under siege and unmoored by moral obligations. He plays to his base and continually shows his willingness to put others in danger for even the smallest of reasons.

Republicans knew Trump was unfit to be President, yet all have caved, kowtowed and supported him, putting their own political careers over doing what’s best for our country

Republicans such as Marco Rubio who called Trump’s 34 Count Guilty Verdict a ‘complete travesty‘, in 2016 called Trump a ‘Con Artist‘ who’s ‘been exploiting working Americans for 40 years’. Ted Cruz called Trump a ‘Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth’ & ‘a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen’. Rand Paul; ‘Donald Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced windbag’ & ‘my concern is that he would grab up that power and treat the country as sort of his bully fiefdom‘. Nikki Haley; ‘Donald Trump is everything I taught my children not to do in kindergarten’. Lindsey Graham; ‘he’s a race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot’ & I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office. Kellyanne Conway; ‘he says he’s for the little guy but he’s actually built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy’. Mike Pompeo; ‘Donald Trump the other day said that it quote if he tells a soldier to commit a war crime the soldier will just do it’. Glenn Beck; ‘I don’t think Donald Trump has has even read the constitution & knows what’s in the constitution’. Susan Collins; ‘I just cannot support Donald Trump’. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry called Trump a cancer on conservatism” and “a barking carnival act”. “He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. Let no one be mistaken – Donald Trump’s candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.” According to various news sources, including an article in politico.com, J.D. Vance stated ‘I’m a Never Trump guy’ , ‘I never liked him’ , ‘My god, what an idiot’ , a ‘cynical asshole like Nixon’ , ‘Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation’s highest office’ and ‘America’s Hitler’.

ALL of these UNPRINCIPLED, COWARDLY REPUBLICANS have put Trump, their Party and their own PERSONAL political careers above decency, our Constitution and our Country.

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia

Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.

“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.

“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”

“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”

“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.

In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.

“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”

Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.

According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;

Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
Needing constant admiration from others
Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”

Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”

Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.

Psychoanalyst: Trump Is “Delusional Psychopath” Who Needs To Be Removed Immediately

Dr. Lance Dodes joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss Trump’s mental state as he’s banned from Twitter and why he will get worse once he leaves office and faces legal jeopardy: “The more desperate he becomes, the more delusional he is, the more he needs to prove to himself ultimately that he is still a god, so the less power he has, the more stress he’s under, the more dangerous he is.” Aired on 1/9/2021.

Psychiatrist Warns That Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’ As Trials Get Closer

Per the article referenced in the above video at; salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-justin-frank-on-power-and

“Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is a lawless person — but his malign influence extends far beyond himself.

We are a society more divided than united. Many of us are anti-intellectual and don’t want to think. That makes such people attracted to strongmen and bullies like Trump. Trump has made his followers reject the truth for alternate facts – and that makes most of us insecure and uncertain about what to believe.

Trump’s “dangerous charisma” attracts already corrupt and ethically compromised people into his orbit. He also exerts a malignant perfidious influence over people who are vulnerable to such energy and temptations, but for whatever reason have not yet fully surrendered to them. This is a defining feature of dangerous leaders.

Dr. Frank continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in.” Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.

From the time Trump was five years old, he hated rules and couldn’t control himself. If Trump didn’t like something, he would convert feelings into immediate action. He threw rocks at a toddler who lived next door when he was five. He punched out his second-grade teacher because he got mad at him. As a father, Trump knocked out his son, Don Jr., when he was in high school because he wasn’t dressed appropriately. Trump has always been like this. As people age, they generally do not change; they instead become more of their true selves. His capacity for self-restraint is becoming a thinner veneer over fundamental destructiveness. He is increasingly no longer able to fake it. This is why Trump is in court acting out, mumbling, being angry and disruptive.

In my opinion, Donald Trump is a “segmental thinker”. He lives in the moment and is attracted by a shiny object and forgets everything else.

The main thing that I am worried about is the complacency of the public and specifically the country’s leaders and law enforcement and other people in positions of authority and power who are still letting Trump run wild. Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic. He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him.

Dozens Of Mental Health Professionals Sign Letter Declaring Trump Has Dementia

As Trump’s mental decline becomes even more pronounced, a petition has begun circulating online asking mental health professionals to sign on and declare that Trump does, in fact, seem to be suffering from dementia. Dozens of professionals in the mental health field have already signed onto the petition, but they are technically not able to give a real diagnosis without examining him in person.

And the odd rhetoric is now veering into more dangerous territory.

Trump’s “Art of the Deal” co-author Tony Schwartz argues “anything goes” for “psychopath” President Trump, and believes Trump will not leave the White House if he loses the election because giving up is “unthinkable” for him. This comes as Joe Biden says his “greatest concern” is that Trump would look to “steal” the 2020 election, and is “absolutely convinced” the military “will escort” Trump “from The White House with great dispatch.” Schwartz argues he has “no doubt that Trump will do everything he possibly can,” to “try to steal this election.

Psychologist Reminds Us We’re Ignoring Trump’s Glaring Mental Disorders

Renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert called out not just Donald Trump but the entire country for ignoring Trump’s very obvious mental decline on Twitter early this week, after Trump claimed that he had “great and unmatched wisdom.” The President’s brain is coming apart at the seams, and something must be done about this.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in his new memoir “A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Secretary of Defense During Extraordinary Times”, that President Trump suggested to him at least twice during the summer of 2020 that the United States could “shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs,” and that it could be done secretly. Trump even said the operation could be conducted “quietly” and that the U.S. could simply deny it had anything to do with it. “No one would know it was us,” Trump said, according to Esper.

Trump also suggested shooting migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and shooting Black Lives Matter protesters demonstrating outside of the White House. “Can’t you just shoot them?” Trump asked, according to Esper.

Trump shows ‘willful ignorance’ on intelligence.

Citing multiple in-person episodes, intelligence officials say Trump displays what one called “willful ignorance” when presented with analyses generated by intelligence services. The officials describe futile attempts to keep his attention by using visual aids, confining some briefing points to two or three sentences, and repeating his name and title as frequently as possible.

What is most troubling, say these officials and others in government and on Capitol Hill who have been briefed on the episodes, are Trump’s angry reactions when he is given information that contradicts positions he has taken or beliefs he holds. Two intelligence officers even reported that they have been warned to avoid giving the President intelligence assessments that contradict stances he has taken in public.
