If you love Trump, listen to what I’m about to say to understand him better. If you hate Trump, arm yourself with knowledge by listening to this video.
Now I haven’t seen Trump in private practice, but from my observations he meets criteria for sociopathy. Sociopaths relate to others on the basis of power rather than affection and lack what is called cause and effect thinking. In other words, they never think they’re going to get in trouble and this is because their brains are different than yours and mine. They have low levels of empathy and they do not have anxiety about getting into trouble.
Imagine you are genetically predisposed to not have anxiety. What are you going to do? You’re going to keep repeating the same disastrous mistakes again and again.
