Running on empty' "Psychiatrist warns Trump is in a psychotic-like state"

[Centerleftfl]

The metaphor is mine. The SHRINK drills down but still comes up with EMPTY. He nailed it. I've been watching Trump disintegrate. Especially this past month. (Come to think of it, about the time I 'tuned him out', literally). He opens his mouth and shit pours out. It is combative (always) but more critically it is illogical, unformed, uninformed and OFTEN contradictory from one sentence to another, or morning to afternoon. And it is a constant state now. (I've been using VAPID. I should have been using EMPTY)

... that there are many people in public life that have a grandiose sense of self. “Donald Trump goes way beyond that,"
he explained. “There is a fundamental way in which he’s empty. There’s something fundamentally different
about him from normal people. It’s a psychotic-like state. The more you press him, the more you see
how disorganized and empty he is. The more he flies into a disorganized rage. So yeah, and by the way,
in terms of being God, he also made several what you might call Freudian slips during the interview today.
He kept mixing up who he was and who the country was. He said, ‘I have the best economy.’
I, not the country. ‘I defeated the caliphate.’ It’s not just a slip of the tongue; he really doesn’t get it.
He thinks of himself as a dictator, and it’s all him and no one else really matters.”

He’s empty’: Psychiatrist warns Trump is in a ‘psychotic-like state’

Dr. Lance Dodes warned that things were going to get worse under President Donald Trump in 2017. That’s precisely what happened.

“Is that what we’re seeing this week?” MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell ased the psychiatrist.



“Absolutely. Donald Trump, because he has a fundamental need to be all-powerful and all loved, can’t stand challenges,” Dr. Dodes said. “And the nature of democracy is that it challenges people. We have more than one opinion. So the more — it was predictable once he got into a position where people would challenge him, there are two parties, he would become more unhinged.

Wednesday’s press availability on the White House South Lawn showed exactly that, he explained.


“As you watched him respond to people, the more they challenged him, the more he ranted,” Dr. Dodes continued. “He stopped responding to the questions, and instead, he started to talk about how people were agents of fake news. He said that they would go out of business soon. They would die…
This is the same kind of thing that he did when he was a candidate when he suggested someone protesting at his campaign rally be taken out and beaten up.”


The psychiatrist explained that Trump can’t handle when people disagree with him.

“The more he is challenged, the more un He can’t stand anything that disagrees with him, and the more you challenge him, the more unhinged he becomes, the more paranoid, and the more violent, potentially,” he said.

O’Donnell asked about the strange relationship between the president and Kim Jong Un, who the president has said he’s fallen in love with.

“He doesn’t really love anyone except himself,” Dr. Dodes explained. “That’s not a slur, that’s a psychological fact. People like him are about him. And we see this not only with the North Korean leader but with all the people he surrounded himself for most of his life who are now recognized as criminals. As long as they stay loyal to him, he loves them. As soon as they challenge him, as soon as they disagree, then they’re terrible people.”....

Trump has never shown a scintilla of empathy. He turns on people in a second and destroys them. As soon as he does, he claims they are stupid. He does that with every single person who left the admin. They were the greatest cabinet ever assembled. Just the best of the best, Then as they left,they became dumb and ignorant.
What changed? Trump.

Was this Dr's license revoked before or after the interview was published?

I doubt he's ever had a license. He looks like a friggin' retard.

I can think of only 2 or 3 people he hasn't turned on (and or 'stabbed in the back' violently and vehemently--think, Sessions) and the IRONY of IRONIES they are the worst of his entire coterie of the 'best he has hired'. MICHAEL FLYNN--an AMERICAN TRAITOR. PAUL MANAFORT--greedy self serving CRIMINAL with blood on his hands. And then there's Sarah Sanders. (But it's still early). Oh yeah, there's Hope Hicks--but then she's 'hot'.

Didn't bother to google him did you?

Has Dode ever sat down with Trump to examine him? He is committing malpractice. How do we know that Dode is a psycho, this lunatic article:

The Most Dangerous Man in the World': Trump Is Violent, Immature and Insecure

You know what is psychotic; you loons on the left who have been LYING, and CRYING and pounding your fists on the table for two and half years.

NONE of you shrill, lying buffoons have been right. Yet low IQ loons like Dode continue to double down on stupid and insane in a desperate effort to change the results of the 2016 election.

If you want to know what a psychotic loon looks like, buy a mirror. Dode should just kill himself if he is going to act like a psychotic buffoon.

I can't think of ONE time you were ever right. You do have shrill, psychotic, pathological lying buffoon down pat though.
