Carl Bernstein: This is the Trump story reporters need to cover

[canceled.2021.3]

It is VERY clear to any objective person that Trump has a few serious mental issues.

His supporters do not see this. It is something they will understand, after he is out of office. They're too dug in right now.

Actually it is the other way around. Trump hasn't acted any differently than he did during the campaign. It is you shit bags who still can't deal with him winning that are unhinged. Every tweet, every fart, every breath is a national crisis to you.

One day it is Russia
Then N Korea
Now Nazis. A whole 500 nazis have you all in a dither while you ignore the real violence from Antifa. And you have the nerve to call others blind?

I can't even feel sorry for you anymore. You are blind and just asking for it now

[canceled.2021.3]

It's all you guys can really say now. The "306" is all YOU ever say.

You know what a disaster this guy is. You just don't want to cede anything to the left. After Trump is out of office, you'll deny really supporting him.

You don't want to cede anything to Trump. How are you any different than that which you accuse others of. Bottom line is this. We live in a polarized country where no matter who wins an election, half aren't going to be happy. People are entrenched in their corners.

You have this insane belief that you are somehow above it all and are the only clear, rational thinker not just in this forum but the country. Well, I am here to tell you that you aren't. You have blind spots when it comes to Trump. There isn't anything you will give him credit for. Even if he does something you ostensibly approve of.

So spare us the concerned citizen act. If you really cared about the country, you would denounce Antifa. But you don't. You enjoy their chaos and violence because you have convinced yourself that they are some sort of Nazi brigade.

Flake and Corker say he has to show some message discipline..I think that's obvious.
But that is a big leap away from mental illness

Trump's mental issues extend far beyond message discipline .. and Corker questions his mental competence and stability.

Woodward is a measured guy. Bernstein is basically a CNN hack

Why are you afraid of people looking into his mental health? At best, he is unstable.

Mental illness cannot be diagnosed without extensive interviews of a patient. It's a disservice to psychiatry and the patient to try to do so.

306 electoral votes worth of us, yessssir,
deal with that

^Folks, look up "oblivious" in the dictionary. This is a classic example.

Yep, he was a pathological liar, a clueless buffoon and a bully during the campaign and still is. But he is no longer a candidate and has the reins. There's a difference.

Yep.

All these dumbass droolers can do is chant "Haha we won!!! In your face!!!" just like idiot sports fans do after their team won on a bad call by the official or a fluke play. Totally ignoring how shitty their team played or how lacking in talent and skill they are. And totally ignorant as well, of the damage that such a fluke win by such a garbage team will do to the sport or in this case, the political process and the country.

When all you care about is winning, with no regard for the moral character, emotional stability and competence to adequately carry out the duties of the office all take a back seat, everybody, including the simpletons and dupes who supported the inferior candidate, all lose in the end.

America is about to learn some very hard lessons as a result of electing this turd.

The quartet, Gartner said, consists of narcissism, paranoia, and anti-social personality disorder, with a dash of sadism thrown in. It is not an official diagnosis, but Gartner said that it’s especially apt in Trump’s situati

DSM is a guide- it's to narrow down possibilities to focus therapy

[anatta]

And Gartner went a step further. “I doubt that interviewing Donald Trump would give them (a professional) a lot of information,” he said. “He runs circles around people, changes topic, never answers questions, I’m not sure that they would get a good deal” more from him. But, he argued, “We have tons of information about his behavior, his words, people who know him well, who have observed his behavior … we have so much information that it is screamingly obvious that he meets these diagnostic criteria.”

hackery.
you cannot substitute a first hand interview/therapeutic session for "observed behavior"

Not necessarily.

In the case of a public persona like Trump, for whom there are untold hours of video tape in which he expresses and expounds his views, attitudes and opinions on every subject imaginable, it is very possible for trained psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, law enforcement profilers, etc, etc.... to get a pretty good idea about his mental state.
