Traits Considered Unfit for Public Office. Who Does This Sound Like?

It occurred to me to stop looking at our current and obvious disaster of a president of the United States of America, convicted criminal (not a judgment, mind you, a proven fact) Donald Trump, and ask say...ChatGPT, the other side of that question. 

What would be the traits of someone who should never be allowed to be POTUS? 

First, check this out: What to do if the Insurrection Act is invoked
With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond — including the power of ridicule.

Also, check out "2073" on MAX. Democracy isn’t dying with a bang but

fading in silence between headlines. "2073" shows how the system is quietly rigged & how many might not see until it’s too late. Watch on Max, before we lose it all. Probably, too late already.

Anyway, this is what AI thinks of who should never be allowed to be POTUS...

A person who should never be President of the United States would likely exhibit a psychological profile that includes the following traits:

1. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

• Extreme self-importance and a need for constant admiration

• Lack of empathy for others

• Belief that they are uniquely special and above rules

• Exploitative tendencies, using people for personal gain

2. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) / Psychopathy

• Chronic lying and manipulation

• Lack of guilt or remorse for harmful actions

• Impulsivity and recklessness, disregarding consequences

• Charm that masks a deep lack of morality

3. Paranoid Personality Traits

• Deep mistrust of others, including close allies

• Seeing enemies and conspiracies everywhere

• Quick to retaliate against perceived slights

• Inability to take responsibility for failures

4. Authoritarianism & Power Obsession

• Desire for absolute control and intolerance of dissent

• Disregard for democratic institutions and processes

• Cultivation of a personality cult, demanding loyalty over competence

• Willingness to use fear and division to maintain power

5. Impulsivity & Lack of Emotional Regulation

• Making rash, emotion-driven decisions

• Inability to handle criticism without overreacting

• Taking petty grievances to extremes, even at great cost

• Lacking discipline, strategy, or long-term vision

6. Grandiosity with Delusions of Invincibility

• Belief that they alone can fix everything

• Ignoring expert advice in favor of personal instincts

• Refusing to admit mistakes or change course

• Viewing themselves as a messianic or historic figure

7. Intellectual Laziness & Willful Ignorance

• Disinterest in learning or seeking knowledge

• Preference for slogans and soundbites over policy and governance

• Reliance on gut feelings over data and rational analysis

• Easily manipulated by flattery or disinformation

8. Vindictiveness & Grudge-Holding

• Using government power to punish enemies

• Obsessing over past slights and seeking revenge

• Rewarding only sycophants and crushing dissenters

• Letting personal vendettas dictate national policy

A person with a combination of these traits would be fundamentally unfit for the presidency, as they would prioritize personal power, vendettas, and self-aggrandizement over the well-being of the country and its people.

OK, that being said, time to ask the other side of that question:

Of all current or previous holders of the office of POTUS, which president would that most represent? 

Make of it what you will, this was the decision of the AI...

The psychological traits described in the previous response most closely align with certain aspects of Donald Trump’s presidency. While it's important to recognize that psychological analysis of public figures is speculative and subjective, many critics and analysts have pointed to traits in Trump that match several elements in the profile:

1. Narcissism and Grandiosity

Trump exhibited a strong sense of self-importance, often portraying himself as uniquely qualified and capable of solving national problems. He frequently spoke about his abilities and accomplishments in exaggerated terms, which is a hallmark of narcissism.

2. Antisocial Behavior and Manipulativeness

Trump’s tendency to lie frequently, exploit others for personal gain, and disregard the truth were commonly noted during his time in office. His presidency was marked by constant controversy surrounding his honesty, relationships with the media, and the use of power for personal advantage.

3. Paranoia and Conspiracy Theories

Trump often expressed deep mistrust of others, especially political opponents and the media, frequently accusing them of being part of a "deep state" or "fake news." He was prone to seeing conspiracies where there were none, further fostering division.

4. Authoritarian Tendencies

Trump often exhibited authoritarian leanings, including attempts to undermine democratic norms, disrespect for the independence of the judiciary, and a preference for loyalty over competence. His relationship with institutions like the press and the intelligence community mirrored authoritarian tendencies, as he sought to undermine checks and balances.

5. Impulsivity and Emotional Reactivity

Trump's decision-making was often seen as reactive and emotionally driven, whether it was via Twitter outbursts or abrupt policy changes. His administration was marked by impulsive decisions that sometimes led to unpredictable consequences.

6. Vindictiveness and Grudge-Holding

Trump's presidency was marked by his use of power to target perceived enemies, from calling for investigations into his rivals to making decisions based on personal animus. He was also known for rewarding loyalists and punishing those who crossed him, whether politically or personally.

While some might argue that other presidents have exhibited similar characteristics to varying degrees, the traits described here were notably amplified in Donald Trump's tenure, making him one of the most frequently cited examples in contemporary discussions.

Unbecoming, not freedom

Big Brother is not watching you.

The chaos you see all around you as some masterplan is not some kind of uber society manipulating you, watching you all the time, plotting against you. Except that now a days Big Brother actually is watching you and that has really confused things for many people. Because they now think that their paranoia is justified. When in reality, it's just paranoia and the masterplan you see going on all around you, those patterns you try to apply to the chaos, is just that. Chaos. Incompetency, mostly. People trying to live up to the complexity of the chaos all around them.

They try to excel in their little piece of the pie so that they feel they have some kind of control over their life no matter how small or inconsequential.

Only inn reality they have no control at all. Just the appearance of control so that they can continue on to the next day. To take that next step. To complete the next step of the plan that no one understands and everyone is working on.

If you die it will continue. If you don't die, you will continue to supplement the beast, to feed it, to sustain it, caress it, make love to it, nurture it, give birth to it.

You can try to escape it, some do. Some think they do anyway. But you can't. Not really. This is it. This is all there is. So make the best of that tiny piece of the process that you can alter your life to in order to make it seem like you have finally escaped it, that you have finally achieved your goal of falling into that warm pool of freedom.

There is only one way to become immersed in it though, to swim through it to the other side. That is to leave it, completely, finally, forever. Then and only then, it is done, are you done. But that isn't freedom, it only seems like it. Because in reality it is merely your unbecoming.
