You are probably dumbfounded trying to figure out why so many people still support Trump. There is no complex explanation. Trump supporters are like Trump, they are simply no damn good. There are some diagnostic criteria that fit Trump and his MAGAts but it is important to remember that just because these disorder and in a diagnostic manual it doesn't change the fact that these are the qualities of evil people. Trump and his supporters may be mentally ill but they are definitely morally ill.
Trump and his MAGAt have some of the Cluster A personality disorders.
Fanatic paranoid (including narcissistic features) | Grandiose delusions are irrational and flimsy; pretentious, expensive supercilious contempt and arrogance toward others; lost pride reestablished with extravagant claims and fantasies. |
Malignant paranoid(including sadistic features) | Belligerent, cantankerous, intimidating, vengeful, callous, and tyrannical; hostility vented primarily in fantasy; projects own venomous outlook onto others; persecutory delusions. |
Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior and interactions with others. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
The British National Health Service has described those with this disorder as someone who, "struggles to relate to others. As a result, they show patterns of behaviour most would regard as dramatic, erratic and threatening or disturbing."
There are four recognized Cluster B personality disorders and Trump and his MAGAt fit them all.
- Antisocial personality disorder (DSM-IV code 301.7): a pervasive disregard for the law and the rights of others. This explains Trump and the MAGAt's hatred for laws especially the gun laws. Like the childish tyrants that they are they don't consider the rights or the welfare of others.
- Borderline personality disorder (DSM-IV code 301.83): extreme "black and white" thinking, chronic feelings of emptiness, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior disturbances often leading to self-harm and impulsivity. Like Trump, the MAGAts have trouble with personal relationships, self-image and the inability to control their emotions. When the post here they often use all caps and they use excessive punctuation.
- Histrionic personality disorder (DSM-IV code 301.50): pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriately seductive behavior and shallow or exaggerated emotions. This explains Trump perfectly. He is an attention whore.
- Narcissistic personality disorder (DSM-IV code 301.81): a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. This explains Trump very well. His statements, "I alone can fix this and "I know more than the generals." come from the sick mind of a malignant narcissist.
If you support Trump know that he is an evil son of a bitch you are an evil son of a bitch.
