Taking A Look At Just Who And What CFPOTUS47 Donald Trump IS

Let's take a brief look at just who and what CFPOTUS47 (our 1st and only Convicted Felon POTUS in history).

Donald Trump actually IS, aside from the propaganda and lies about him (so unnecessary as he's actually pretty despicable all on his own), a poor example of a human being, or a leader. Simply tell the truth about the man. There's absolutely no need to exaggerate or lie about him. Because he already IS a...

Now, let's consider what kind of a childhood environment leads to building an adult of such a pathetic character:

• Cold
• Authoritarian
• Absent Parenting
• Excessive Praise/Grandiosity Indoctrination
• Exposure to Deception & Corruption
• Lack of Consequences for Bad Behavior
• Extreme Sibling Rivalry/Isolation
• Early Signs of Manipulative/Antisocial Behavior
• Obsession with Status/Power...

This is who just enough Americans were fooled (MaGAFooled) into believing was a swell idea as the man to hold the most powerful office in the history of Humanity.

Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and Donald Trump's niece has extensively discussed the dysfunctional nature of her uncle's childhood, particularly in her 2020 memoir, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man. 

She describes the Trump family as "malignantly dysfunctional," attributing this dysfunction to their patriarch, Fred Trump Sr., whom she characterizes as a "high-functioning sociopath" who lacked empathy and used his family members as pawns.

Mary notes that Donald Trump's mother, also named Mary, was "emotionally and physically absent," and his father, Fred, was even more so. She writes that Fred "seemed to have no emotional needs at all."

In her book, Mary Trump also discusses how Fred Sr.'s treatment of his children, including Donald, led to lasting psychological impacts. She observes that Fred Sr.'s cruel influence ensured that Donald would have limited access to his range of emotions.

These insights suggest that Donald Trump's upbringing was marked by emotional neglect and manipulation, contributing to the complex personality traits he exhibits today.

So what IS needed to be POTUS?

Being President of the United States requires a unique blend of qualities and emotional health to handle the immense pressures and responsibilities of the role. Here are some essential qualities:

1. Emotional Resilience: The ability to manage stress, setbacks, and personal challenges while maintaining focus and composure. The president must make tough decisions in high-pressure environments and stay calm under fire.

2. Empathy and Compassion: Understanding and connecting with people across diverse backgrounds and issues is essential. This emotional intelligence helps in leading a nation and building relationships with citizens, world leaders, and lawmakers.

3. Emotional Stability: Presidents often face criticism, loss, and difficult decisions. An emotionally stable individual can maintain their focus, avoid overreaction, and lead with a clear vision despite external pressures.

4. Self-Confidence: Confidence in one's decisions is necessary, especially when faced with uncertainty. The ability to trust your instincts and not second-guess decisions in critical moments is essential.

5. Integrity: Ethical decision-making and trustworthiness are core to the role. The president must be able to stand by their beliefs, even in the face of public or political adversity.

6. Adaptability: Flexibility to adjust to new challenges, domestic and international situations, and the changing needs of the country. This includes handling crises effectively.

7. Communication Skills: The ability to inspire, educate, and lead the nation through speeches, meetings, and public appearances is vital. Clear, persuasive communication helps in rallying people and explaining difficult issues.

8. Judgment: The ability to make sound decisions that balance many factors, including short-term and long-term consequences, national security, and public welfare. The president must prioritize and make tough choices without personal bias.

9. Patience and Perseverance: Political and legislative progress can be slow, and working with Congress or foreign leaders can be frustrating. The ability to persist through these challenges while keeping the ultimate goal in mind is crucial.

10. Humility: A strong president recognizes the power of the office is derived from the people, not personal entitlement. This involves a willingness to learn from others, admit mistakes, and work collaboratively.

Emotional health is vital to maintaining these qualities. Presidents who are in touch with their own emotions, can navigate stress, and make thoughtful decisions tend to lead more effectively.

'Threat to the republic': How Trump squandered goodwill and sent Dems into resistance

OK, OK, but what about the Trump supporter? Republicans turning on their Party and country, MaGA (Undeserving of a capital "A" in America until they stop their sedition and support of insurrection and their chief insurrectionist). Let's take a quick look at what and who would support such a defective person and criminal leader.

What does this say about MaGA & Trump supporters who relish support of such a "person"? Such a mental patient and criminal?

The steadfast support of Donald Trump's base, despite his controversial actions and statements, has been the subject of extensive psychological and sociopolitical analysis. 

Several factors contribute to this phenomenon:

1. Perceived Mythical Leadership

Many supporters view Trump as a larger-than-life figure endowed with extraordinary abilities to combat perceived societal threats. This perception fosters a deep emotional connection and unwavering loyalty.

2. Authoritarian Personality Traits

Research indicates that individuals with a preference for clear hierarchies and strong leadership gravitate towards Trump. Traits such as right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation are prevalent among his supporters.

3. Shared Psychological Dynamics

The concept of "shared psychosis" suggests a psychological alignment between Trump and his followers, characterized by a mutual reinforcement of beliefs and behaviors. This dynamic can lead to a collective dismissal of opposing viewpoints and facts.

4. Cultural and Economic Factors

Economic hardship, cultural displacement, and a sense of lost status contribute to the appeal of Trump's message. His rhetoric resonates with individuals who feel marginalized by societal changes.

In summary, the fervent support for Trump among his base is a multifaceted phenomenon, rooted in psychological predispositions, cultural identities, and perceived existential threats.

But how about as related to the great narcissist's personality defects and criminal behaviors?

The unwavering support for Trump, despite his well-documented personality defects and criminal behaviors, suggests several psychological and sociological phenomena at play among his followers:

1. Cult of Personality

• Many supporters see Trump as a "strongman" who can break the rules for a greater cause.
• His narcissism, lies, and bullying are reframed as "strength" rather than defects.

2. Shared Narcissism & Projection

• Some followers identify with Trump's grandiosity and self-victimization, seeing their struggles reflected in his defiance.
• His refusal to admit fault aligns with their own aversion to accountability.

3. Cognitive Dissonance & Motivated Reasoning

• Instead of acknowledging his faults, supporters rationalize them ("he's fighting for us," "he's being unfairly targeted").
• The more he's accused, the more they dig in, seeing him as a victim of corruption.

4. Authoritarian Psychology

• Many supporters value dominance, rule-breaking, and loyalty over ethics or truth.
• Trump's disregard for the law is perceived as a necessary tactic against "the enemy."

5. Desensitization & Normalization of Corruption

• Scandals become white noise, and his behavior seems less shocking over time.
• His constant legal troubles are spun as proof of a corrupt system, rather than evidence of his own wrongdoing.

6. Parasitic Relationship with a Demagogue

• Trump provides his followers with identity, meaning, and purpose.
• To abandon him would mean admitting they were deceived, which is psychologically unbearable.

Would we like to make a deeper analysis of any of these points?

Good grief! Not really.

I think we know all we need to know about him, and them.
