More than four and a half years ago I wrote that Trump has said over 7,000 lies during his political career. I can’t even guess how many more since then. Hundreds if not thousands involve his not inciting hundreds of people to try to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021. He knew he lost the election that night and it was tearing him apart so a couple of his closest advisors said it was probably a fraud. He latched on to the idea since he couldn’t have lost. His ego could not accept millions more people voted against him than he had conned into voting for him.

            Based on public appearance, tweets, diatribes on social media and in social meetings a group of psychologists in both political parties have evaluated Trump and found him to have
several mental problems. The two most obvious are his habitual lying and his narcissistic behavior. His inability to accept any criticism and lashing out at anyone who dares to do so indicates mental instability.

            Demanding absolute loyalty and admiration as demonstrated by requiring his secretaries and advisors to state “How great I am” during a special news event at the White House shortly after taking office is an indication of his great narcissism. If his brittle personality confronted the situation where he couldn’t lie or had to confront the truth, or his admirers were deserting him, he would fall apart and lash back in any way he could.

            The psychologists did not believe his mental condition should allow him to ever be in a position of authority. Their opinions were made before he started his latest campaign.

            His 2025 playbook indicates if he is reelected he will never leave the Oval Office because he will have total control.
