He does not have the mental capacity to have a conscience.
He does not care if we live or die.
To him, it is not Russia that he is helping, only Putin because he has a compulsive need for validation from him.
Ultimately, it’s not even about Putin. It’s just fulfillment of his personal need for validation, a constant quest for self-gratification through the validation of those he sees as being of value
He does not have the mental capacity to have a conscience.
He does not care if we live or die.
This is true of literally every big capitalist and most small capitalists (actually the small capitalists are more likely to be pointlessly cruel, instead of simply not caring). Yall focus on individuals too much to understand the systems at work here.
Like all mental health conditions there are grades to its severity
Trump isn’t a run of the mill narcissist, he has acute narcissistic personality disorder.
Any political goal he has isn’t his own. They are only there because he is seeking validation from someone else and is enacting their will to achieve that validation.
i did and i think it makes sense that hes a narcissist, its just that political leaders like him arent doing things by themselves, and they have strategic interests.
theres usually a group of people going back and forth before making these decisions. and i think the video guy is pathologizing his relationship with putin too much in lieau of other factors that might matter more.
also a lot of what his regime in general says is possibly meant to make us angry and confused on purpose. trump’s public persona should be taken with a grain of salt, and is not that relevant in face of the actual decisions made.
It would be interesting to know how identifying and understanding a compromising and debilitating personality disorder made the jump to great man theory
Because that is certainly not what we are talking about here
We are not of value to Trump.

It’s way more than that.
Watch the video
he is a narcissist, but he also has political goals.

i think you are overanalyzing his likely condition. his goals aligns with his chosen allies, i don’t think this is very notable.
And I don’t think you’ve watched the video
I can accept that I am not doing the video justice

This is Great Man Theory nonsense, and frankly attributes too much of a mythical status to Trump.

The video is less than 12 minutes
