Your daily dose of Donald... 10-9-2022
I've been busy lately and apologize for not keeping up with the 5 or 6 new Trump stories that hit the news channels daily. There's so much stuff that it boggles the mind. How a 'one man hurricane' can muster up so much attention.More documents?
The last few days there has been talk that not all the documents were seized from Mar-a-Lago and there must be more. I read a comment The Guardian took video of Trump directing the loading of at least 9 boxes to a private plane at the West Palm Beach airport. The manifest was to fly to Bedminster New Jersey. It's believed they are maintenance staff at Bedminster Club and they know where the boxes are.
It wouldn't surprise me if the DOJ serve him with more search warrants to search his New York offices, clubs and other residences.

Former President Donald Trump addressed the FBI's raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort at a Sunday rally in Arizona, making a series of misleading claims as he sought to portray the investigation as part of a plot against him.
Trump baselessly claimed that other presidents, including Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, had mishandled classified information yet faced no legal consequences.

If it wasn't a stunt, if the nine-plus boxes contained any sensitiive material, no one will have seen them, or Trump personally involved.
The Trump administration was somewhat characterised by (piles of) paper'work' being used as propaganda props.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Moving files from the White House was under the direction of Trump.
Those specific IQ skills bear little relation to Trump's personal skill set. I would suggest that his ablity lies in cognitive empathy, whilst lacking emotonal emapthy. It means he can objectively observe how others emotionally react to stimuli and use that to his advantage.
I'll just leave a taster...

I'll try, but it'll take a bit of time.
I'm not sure it's wise to create a whole blog on the topic. I don't want to start WWIII by criticising Saint Donald in front of those who wouldn't recognise a pathological behaviour trait if it slapped them with a wet Communion wafer.

It's interesting watching it again given it was recorded before George Floyd et al, the BLM protests against police brutality and killings, the clearing of protesters bordering Lafayette Square, Kyle Rittenhouse, January 6th, etc.
I'd like to add a comment about the Goldwater Rule and point out that there are some instances where assessing from afar has it's advantages: some pathological behaviours can be manipulative, but appear non-pathological; that is, in face-to-face situations a client may successfully 'play' the professional. A public figure tends to provide a wealth of recorded material of unselfconscious behaviour which may provide more genuine indicators.
Also, psychiatry, psychology and talking therapies are an extension of usual human behaviour. We all constantly observe human behaviour, react to it and implement many of the talking therapy skills in everyday life. Although professionals in these areas may assess with greater knowledge and have opinions which carry authority, we have all had the opportunity to observe behaviour traits exhibited by Trump.
Yes...
What would you consider a 'diagnosis' to be?
How useful do you think diagnoses of psychatric categories are?
I just interpreted the video by pointing out the kind of criteria she was cvertly and subtly referring to.
My input isn't politically biased in a bipartisan way: I think the democratic(ish) systems that we have, especially in the US where so much power is at stake, have innumerable faults. One of them would be that nation/world leader positions inherently attract psychlogically/behaviourally irregular people who err on the side of personality disorder traits.
Trump is just a particularly extreme and obviously concerning one.
