Why Donald Trump is The Greatest Loser on Earth
But he thinks he’s the world’s #1 hotshot
Donald Trump must think he is the greatest hotshot on planet Earth.
Realistically, he is the world’s greatest loser.
In the midst of all the turmoil, let’s pause and consider some basic qualities that are vital to successful human co-existence - kindness, compassion, selflessness, honesty, humility and integrity. These qualities are what make real people truly great, no matter how insignificant their lives.
But the President of the United States embodies the opposites of all these qualities - all wrapped up into one obscene package called Donald Trump - a human failure of epic proportions. A total loser despite all his wealth and power.
As US President, he is the most powerful person in the world, but the immoral and unethical abuse of that power makes him a danger to the establishment, the planet and humanity itself. It is that serious because he has no respect for any of them.
The preservation of his ego, his wealth and his family are more important than anything – literally anything.
Enough kilometres of columns have been written about this man Trump to reach the moon. After all, he has the world news cycle on a string, made worse by the Hormuz oil crisis.
But the question that I and many ask is, “How did a person with such profound psychological defects get to be president, not just once but twice?”
Loopy, wacky, crazy and totally unhinged are common descriptions of him that don’t belong in psychology text books. And now, much of the world paints America generally in the same way.
We can only hope that when Donald Trump has finally left the White House, the United States Constitution will be amended to avoid any repeat of the Trump fiasco.
Clinical forensic psychological assessments should be mandatory for presidential candidates, with particular vigilance for any Trump-style traits like narcissism, psychopathy, sociopathy, antisocial personality disorder, emotional dysregulation, compulsive manipulation and paranoia.
As well as forensic assessments, an intensive interview process could prove revealing and lifesaving for America’s future, and indeed the world’s.
To avoid bringing the office of US President into total disrepute again, here are some pointers for identifying telltale signs of anyone being loopy, wacky, crazy or totally unhinged.
If the candidate talks about starting wars to watch on TV because regular viewing is boring, there is a problem.
If the candidate does not agree that deliberately bombing schools and hospitals are immoral war crimes, there is a problem.
If the candidate argues that the truth is an unnecessary complication in political debate, there is a problem.
If the candidate believes that public spitting at members of the media is a good idea, there is a problem.
If the candidate refers to African Americans as apes or monkeys there is a problem.
If the candidate repeatedly requests seeing the nuclear strike buttons, there is a problem.
If the candidate attempts to sack the interviewer, there is a problem.
If the candidate offers $1million to pass the test, there is a problem.
If the candidate pulls a gun and shoots the interviewer, there is a problem.
If a candidate can be found who is not unhinged, and becomes president, he or she will have one hell of a mess to clean up, not least restoring the world’s confidence in the USA.
That is, to Make America Great Again akin to the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
