Donald Trump
Don’t be misled by the recent setbacks of Donald Trump in the 2022 midterms and polls, he will be the 2024 Republican nominee for president. Trump has a cult behind him. Ron DeSantis is a painfully dull speaker, and Trump has a charismatic personality. When the primary rallies get into full swing, Trump’s charisma will pull him ahead of DeSantis, and he will be well in the lead by the Republican National Convention. But Trump cannot win the general election against Joe Biden because he has done absolutely nothing to increase his base. Biden will handily win the popular vote again and will likely win the same states he won in 2020.
But, of course, Trump will claim the election was stolen. There will be court cases that Trump will lose, and then it’s obvious he will attempt another coup. The easiest coup approach Trump can take and the one that is most likely to be successful will be explained. But first, it’s important to understand just how crazy Trump is. it;s likely that only a small percent of Americans, including Democrats and left-leaning Independents, are aware that Trump and Adolf Hitler have both been diagnosed with the same metal illness — Malignant Narcissism. Hitler was diagnosed with the psychosis by the famous psychiatrist Eric Fromm back in 1964. Fromm created the term Malignant Narcissism, which includes Narcissism, Antisocial behavior, Paranoid thinking, and Sadism. Trump was diagnosed with Malignant Narcissism in 2020 in a documentary entitled “Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump” by two psychiatrists, Lance Dodes at Harvard Medical School and Justin Frank at George Washington University Center, as well as a psychotherapist, John Gartner at Johns Hopkins University Medical School.
There are 15 behavioral traits that demonstrate that a person suffers from the four components of the psychosis. Examples of the 15 behavioral traits for Hitler aren’t really needed because most people accept the fact he was quite mad. Examples of the 15 behavioral traits for Trump were fairly easy to find. This was in spite of the fact that Trump hasn’t yet reached the level of absolute power that Hitler achieved. If Trump ever becomes a dictator, his Sadism will be on full display. This article will also explain how easily Trump will become a dictator if he is successful in his coup attempt in 2024. The following examples of Malignant Narcissism exhibited by Trump should convince reasonable people that he is just as crazy as Hitler and capable of doing everything that Hitler did in Nazi Germany.
Narcissism includes grandiosity, lack of empathy, need for attention, and sense of entitlement. Trump showed grandiosity in August 2019 when he tweeted out his approval of a conspiracy theorist’s claim that Israelis view Trump “like he’s the King of Israel” and the “second coming of God.” He shared the conspiracy theorist’s puzzlement that American Jews didn’t view him likewise. Hours later he tweeted he was taking a tough trade policy against China, stating “I am the chosen one.” At the 2016 Republican National Convention, he stated that “he alone could fix” all the nations’ problems. Trump’s lack of empathy was shown by his inability to express any empathy for the 400,000 people who died of Covid or for their families during his term. Trump’s need for attention was shown by his dependence on large crowds during his campaign rallies. The larger the audience the more he became energized. A video of him at a NATO meeting in May 2017 also showed a pitiful need for attention during a photo op. He rudely pushed aside the Montenegro prime minster who was standing in the front row so he could stand in the front for the photos. Trump showed his sense of entitlement at a campaign rally in Nevada in September 2020 when he stated, “We’re going to win four more years in the White House. . . and based on the way we were treated we’re probably entitled to four more years.”
Antisocial behavior includes a lack of remorse, destructive and impulsive behavior, deceitfulness, and disregard for and violation of the rights of others. Trump showed no remorse for the deaths and many injuries of Capitol Police officers during the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Nor did he show remorse for the danger he placed Vice President Pence and Congress members in. The destructive and impulsive danger of Trump was shown by a letter that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent to House Democrats on January 8th, two days after the attack on the Capitol. She informed them that she had spoken “to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.” Milley responded by ordering a special meeting of the senior officers of the National Military Command Center, who were responsible for the use of nuclear weapons. He made sure that the procedures of a voice conference call that included the secretary of defense, the JCS chairman and certain lawyers took place before any action was taken regardlessness of any orders by the president. Trump has shown deceitfulness many times. The Washington Post Fact Checker catalogued 30,573 false or misleading claims by Trump during his presidency, about 21 erroneous claims a day on average. The biggest lie was that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Trump demonstrated his disregard for and violation of the rights of others by ending an Obama-era rule in August 2017 that required companies with more than 100 employees to report how much workers are paid by race and gender, which was intended to help close race and gender pay gaps. In March 2019, a federal judge ordered that the Obama-era rule be reinstated.
Paranoid thinking includes a sense of persecution, difficulty trusting others, preoccupation with others’ loyalty, and a tendency to bear grudges. Trump clearly showed his sense of being persecuted. By the fifth month of his presidency, Trump had already complained 69 times on Twitter that he was being treated “unfairly” by the press. He claimed it was more so than any other president in history. His difficulty in trusting others was demonstrated by The Hill reporting in February 2020 that Trump had requested that his allies provide him lists of government officials that they deemed had been disloyal to him. He showed his preoccupation with others’ loyalty by a memoir written by a former staffer named Cliff Sims, in which Sims stated that soon after his inauguration Trump asked him to draw up a list of White House staffers Sims believed couldn’t be trusted. Trump can hold a grudge for a long time. In 2009, Trump sent a letter to David Paterson, the governor of New York, expressing his opposition to Paterson’s appointment of Richard Ravitch as his lieutenant governor. He told Paterson that in the sixties his father had hired Ravitch’s firm as a construction representative for Trump Village, and they had been very unhappy with his firm’s work. Trump also told Paterson that he blamed Ravitch for the 1994 MLB strike when Ravitch was the chief owner representative for Major League Baseball.
Sadism includes cruelty, efforts to humiliate or manipulate others, and deriving of enjoyment from others’ pain and suffering. Trump showed extreme cruelty in his zero-tolerance policy that separated 3,900 children from their parents at the Mexican border. Infants were literally torn from their mothers arms. Children were kept in cages and slept on concrete floors with no mattresses. Two and three years olds had no caretakers except older unrelated children, and there was no access to showers, clean clothes, and toothbrushes. Trump also showed cruelty by his willingness to use water-boarding on Muslim prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, even though many of the prisoners were shown to have no connection to terrorism. Trump demonstrated his efforts to humiliate or manipulate others by his treatment of Attorney Jeff Sessions. Trump was upset that Sessions had recused himself from the investigation of Trump’s connection to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. In doing so, Sessions was just following the rules of the Department of Justice. Trump publicly called Sessions an “idiot” and told the public he should resign. Trump tweeted Sessions was a “disgrace” and called him Mr. Magoo, a bumbling cartoon character. Through it all Sessions remained loyal to Trump, but Trump fired him over a year after the abuse began. Trump clearly showed his deriving of enjoyment from others’ pain and suffering when he watched the rioters attacking the Capitol Police on January 6, 2021 in the Oval Office dining room. The TV clearly showed the rioters stabbing police with flag poles, hitting them with lead pipes and bats, and spraying them with chemical agents. Many of the officers suffered terrible injuries. Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham later told CNN, “He was in the dining room gleefully watching the TV,” and Trump said, “ ‘Look at all the people fighting for for me,’ hitting rewind, watching it again.”
A study of the childhoods of Trump and Hitler shows many similarities in their experiences that might explain how they both ended up with the same psychosis. Both their fathers were extremely hard working, successful men, but were very selfish and showed little concern for their wives’ feelings and little respect for them. Both men had regular mistresses and neither of the marriages were happy ones. The fathers were both very strict authoritarians with their children, using rigid rules of discipline and behavior. They barely showed their children any affection. Both Adolf and Donald were very intimated by their fathers. Both the mothers of Hitler and Trump were simple uneducated country girls. Hitler’s mother was a maid, who was first a mistress to Hitler’s father and when his wife died, he married her. Trump’s mother was a poor young woman from Scotland who came to America to find a husband. She was also listed as a domestic servant. Both Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump treated their mothers with disdain, coldness, lack of respect, and refused to do what their mothers told them to do. Donald had the added burden that his mother was the kind of mother who used her children to comfort herself rather than comforting them. When Donald was two and half years old, his mother was rushed to the hospital for an emergency hysterectomy and because of complications was in and out of the hospital for six months. She never fully recovered psychologically, and the younger children, Donald and Robert, weren’t really cared for properly. Donald’s older sister, twelve year old Maryanne, did her best. The housekeeper was overwhelmed by housework, and Donald’s father Fred, who worked twelve hours a day, Monday through Saturday, wanted nothing to do with taking care of the kids or giving them affection. All the Trump boys were told by their father that they couldn’t be “losers” and had to be “winners.” Their father called winners “killers,” and he wanted them to be tough. The father wanted Donald’s older brother Freddy to take over the family real estate business and started to train him for the position when Freddy was in high school, but he found Freddy wasn’t tough enough. When Freddy disappointed his father he would say how sorry he was. Fred hated it when he did that because it showed Freddy wasn’t tough enough and wasn’t a killer. Donald watched that interaction and decided he would show his father how tough he was. Donald became a rebel at home, mistreating his younger brother Robert and his mother, and at school where he was a bully and continually got in trouble. The private school finally dismissed Donald and suggested to his father that he be sent to New York Military School.
Interestingly, both Hitler and Trump entered into a fantasy world at the high school level. Hitler had done well at elementary school. The competition wasn’t that difficult at that level, but in high school the competition became much tougher, and he began to fail. To escape the stress, he continued to play war games with his younger friends, which he had enjoyed at an earlier age. He always got to be the leader in the games, which gave him great satisfaction. But it wasn’t age-appropriate in high school. He decided that he was going to be a great artist and didn’t need to go to high school, so he quit. Hitler could draw well, but never had any real success as an artist. When he went to Vienna to enter art school, he failed the entrance exam and pretended he was actually enrolled at the school, another example of his fantasy life. Trump’s fantasy world began at the New York Military School at the high school level. He liked to tell his schoolmates he was a great ladies man and to support that fantasy, his father would hire attractive young prostitutes to be his dates for weekend events at the school. His father also bought Donald a position as a captain of a company from the school’s commandant. Donald had only been a sergeant who guarded ceremonial rifles in a storeroom before that, so everybody knew the promotion wasn’t earned. Donald also bought some medals from a departing cadet that he wore on his uniform in his senior yearbook photo. He also told people he was a great baseball player at the military school and that he could have played in the major leagues. But a baseball teammate of his at the school later said he wasn’t really that good. Trump definitely led a fantasy life, which probably led to his Narcissism.
Trump’s Paranoid sense of persecution is likely the reason that he was compelled to say that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and he will make the same claim when he loses the 2024 election. It is also likely the reason that he choose to attempt a coup in 2020 and will do the same in 2024. If he is successful in accomplishing a coup this next election, he will be compelled to become a dictator, likely due to his Narcissism The scariest part is how easily both the coup and the dictatorship can be accomplished. First the coup. Unfortunately, there is a part of the U.S. Constitution that is truly inane. It can be found in the U.S. Code Title 3, Chapter 1, Code 15. It basically allows any member of the U.S. Congress to vote to reject the electoral votes of any state for any reason they want. On January 6, 2021, 147 Republican Congress members voted to reject the electoral votes of the states of Arizona and/or Pennsylvania. If Republicans can take the U.S. Senate and hold the U.S. House in 2024, and Trump and Biden win the same states they won in 2020, Trump only has to get 122 more Republican Congress members to reject the electoral votes of Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania to flip the electoral vote to himself rather than Biden. Trump would then have 279 electoral votes to Biden’s 259. This is the easiest way Trump and his allies can pull a coup, and it’s perfectly legal. The U.S. Supreme will rule it’s constitutional even though it actually throws out the votes of over 80 million people. Democrats and left-leaning Independents need to vote in 2024 in numbers large enough to secure Democrat majorities in both chambers to prevent this coup approach. It would be safest to secure large enough majorities in both chambers to prevent other coups that Trump and his allies might concoct.
Once Trump becomes president again, he will set in motion events to insure that he never loses power again. The ability of Trump to become a dictator is much easier than one would assume. On his first day in office, January 20, 2025, he could announce that he has replaced the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the top 40 officers of the military branches with officers that he has predetermined will be loyal to him. He would then have the military completely under his control. Trump could also announce on his first day that he is declaring the Insurrection Act to combat the many protests and riots that will occur across the country because of the coup. He will blame the riots on the Democrats and begin a daily denigration of the Democrat Party. Two months later, Trump’s Attorney General will announce the arrest of several leading Democrat Congress member on false drug charges. A month after that, his Attorney General will announce that Jaime Harrison, the Chair of the Democrat National Party, Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Vice Chair, and several members of Black Lives Matter have been arrested following an FBI uncovering of a planned coup to overthrown the United States Government. Within a month following that, the Republicans will pass a bill in both chambers of Congress making the Democrat Party illegal. At the signing of the law, Trump will state that the law was necessary to protect national security. The Democrat Party will sue that day directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, stating that the law is unconstitutional. Within two days the Supreme Court will rule that the law is unconstitutional, but Congress and Trump will ignore the rule and begin enforcing it. Who can stop them? The answer is nobody, and the country will then be in effect a dictatorship.
To understand what Trump will do once he becomes he becomes a dictator, one need only accept the fact that Trump suffers from the same psychosis as Adolf Hitler, especially the Sadism component, and that Trump will commit all the same atrocities that Hitler committed in the name of making America great again.
