The reason you say you "don't care about my opinion" is that you have nothing in your "arsenal" to counter what was stated in the article and my
subsequent commentary.
Don't worry though-others besides you have in essence in the past have done the same thing when they are unable to give a coherent
and intelligent response which will fly.
What if Trump was a democrat, what would YOU be saying? lol
Hello is this Las Vegas? I'd like to put $100 on Trump saying the N-word into a microphone before the election. Yes I can hold.
Here is one more question and answer from the article:
"Donald Trump continues to accuse former President Barack Obama of being a “traitor” and committing “treason.” This is another example of Trump threatening violence and death — treason has often been punished with execution — against his political enemies. How much of this behavior is a function of Trump’s projecting his own guilt on other people?"
"Donald Trump is incapable of guilt. In the most obvious and primitive way, often seen in very young children, he accuses others of exactly what he has done. He knows that he has committed treason, not only because of the Russian interference in the 2016 election but because he is actively and aggressively undermining the Constitution, democracy and the rule of law. His accusing others of treason was, therefore, entirely predictable. Reversing the truth is a tactic used by psychopathic dictators forever, as in destroying democratic governments in order to “restore democracy.” Unfortunately, such simple tactics often work and it’s only years later that citizens wake up to the fact they’ve been conquered from within."
I agree with this again.
In essence what the psychiatrist is saying that on a conscious level Trump is unable to admit anything which he has done wrong.
Thus to try to make it seem right in his own mind, or better to rationalize it, on some subconscious or even possibly conscious level he projects those feelings,
some of which are not fully resolved, and then convinces himself that if had any possible guilt feelings in the first place( a questionable notion), they
have now been resolved because it was/is the other folks and not him who are the bad guys here.
This is a form of negative transference as anyone who has studie psychology knows.
As the psychiatrist says/implies, there are enough dumb/naive people out there who buy into this and don' t realize they have been duped until years later.
However, imo this concept is not working that well this year as lots of folks have caught onto Trump's act, and it shows in the univeral polling results.

Here is another excerpt from the interview in the book-more to follow:
"How do we make sense of the standard deflection where some people say that it is all “hyperbole,” and that Trump would never actually kill anybody?"
"Donald Trump has already killed people. He is killing people all the time through his willful negligent handling of the coronavirus pandemic in order to improve his election chances. More than 120,000 Americans have died because of Trump’s behavior. His incitements to racist violence have likewise caused deaths from racist crime. There is by now overwhelming evidence that Donald Trump cares nothing about anyone else’s life."
Nothing on my part to add as imo the psychiatrist is spot-on.

If only we'd paid more attention to MAD Magazine about Trump in 1991...
Mad Magazine wasn't a slouch with the from afar shrink job, either...

Here is another excerpt from the article:
"John Bolton’s new book confirms that members of Trump’s staff, including cabinet officials, mock and make fun of the president behind his back. How will Trump react when he learns he is so disrespected by the people around him, people who are supposed to be loyal to him?"
"If Donald Trump believes that people in his inner circle are even criticizing him, much less mocking him, he will do whatever he can to harm them, starting with firing them but then slandering and blaming them for his actions."
We have seen lots of this already as well as firing people who care to give out the party line about the Coronavirus and those who
might "spill the beans" if they continued in their position.

Although are a few more excerpts from the interview with the psychiatrist, this is going to be the last one I post.
"Bolton’s book also reveals that hostile foreign leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and others have learned that all they have to do is flatter and compliment Trump in order to get what they want from him. Trump is very malleable and easily manipulated. If you were going to advise somebody about how to manipulate Donald Trump, what would you tell them to do?"
"It is extremely easy to manipulate Donald Trump, since he cares only about being worshiped and is indifferent to the truth or facts. From the very earliest days of his presidency, people marveled that Trump changed his views every five minutes in the direction of the last person he talked with. If you worship him, then you control Trump until the next person worships him. There is every reason to think that he has been successfully manipulated by emotionally stronger leaders of other nations."
I also agree with this and find it very disturbing indeed for obvious reasoning.
I don't know what they call it these days but for me it amounts to political browning nosing at the expense of Ttrump and potentially
very dangerous to the overall welfare and health safety of the country.
