20. Psychopathy and Dementia
Sun Oct 12, 2025, 06:59 PM
Sunday

Has there ever been one person in Trump's life that went to him and said: "You have problems and need professional help"

If they did, he or she would be an enemy of life to Trump.

Not sure at this point it would do much good.

It appears he is combining psychopathy and dementia.

He blamed "BIden's FBI" for January 6th when he and his FBI director were in charge and there was still 2 weeks before Biden took the oath of office.

He fits most of the following checklist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy_Checklist

Item 1: Glibness/superficial charm
Item 2: Grandiose sense of self-worth
Item 3: Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Item 4: Pathological lying
Item 5: Conning/manipulative
Item 6: Lack of remorse or guilt
Item 7: Shallow affect
Item 8: Callous/lack of empathy
Item 9: Parasitic lifestyle
Item 10: Poor behavioral controls
Item 11: Promiscuous sexual behavior
Item 12: Early behavior problems
Item 13: Lack of realistic, long-term goals
Item 14: Impulsivity
Item 15: Irresponsibility
Item 16: Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Item 17: Many short-term marital relationships
Item 18: Juvenile delinquency
Item 19: Revocation of conditional release
Item 20: Criminal versatility
