I have been a registered republican all my life. That is not to say I ever voted straight party. I always attempt to pick the most psychologically mature and morally fit leader among my choices.
That is not always easy because of what is represented in the media about them is always so biased. You have to do some digging.
I was by profession a registered nurse. My specialty was psychiatric nursing. I am retired now. I have worked on children’s units, adult, geriatric, chemical dependency, personality disorder specialty units, and psychiatric ICU’s.
My favorite job was mentoring at risk mom’s to be great mom’s. I taught child development to them so they could help their children to grow and develop to their greatest potential.
That introduction will help you realize my evaluation of President Trump is not without some experience in the field. Many psychiatrists and psychologist have said he has a Narcissistic personality disorder. I agree but I would like for you to understand why.
When children are not parented with love and consistency, they have difficulty developing coping skills. This is not to say that every ailment in mental health is the parent’s fault. But in President Trump’s case from the history his niece reports it was a family failing.
From your upbringing you learn delayed gratification, empathy, moral values, societal expectations, loyalty, forgiveness and genuine love.
It is hard to learn these if you are raised by caregivers who have no emotional attachment to you or if you are left alone in a private school setting. If your family has money you often learn to use the power of money to get what you want.
If that is your only or predominant coping skill one has limited ability to cope.
The results: temper tantrums, physical outbursts, manipulating others stronger than yourself to harm others, buying favors, gaslighting others, an inappropriate use of others as objects, lack of respect for those who differ from yourself and most importantly NO empathy.
(I also suspect other diagnosis but for now this is enough for you to get a sense of who Donald Trump is.) He is a person who never got the emotional support he needed to develop appropriate relationships and coping skills.
He draws co-dependent relationships to himself like a magnet and then sabotages the relationship at the first sign of non-support or what he considers disloyalty.
It’s like an emotionally developmentally stunted adult (toddler) attempting to run the most powerful country in the world. He is totally unequipped to do this job. It would actually be best for him if he would resign. He would have less chaos in his life.
And as a consequence, the country has the fallout of his chaos. On the psychiatric unit our treatment team would develop a strategy for helping those with personality disorders. All team members were to present a structured environment.
The rules were the rules for the unit and everyone in the unit. All team members had to be on board for it to work.
The manipulations would gradually decrease, chaos would decrease on the unit and eventually the person would respond to learning a healthy coping mechanism or two: Relaxation tx, journaling, thought stopping of negative or angry thoughts, delayed gratification, visualization…
…of desired results and planning, etc.
My other thought about this president is he either has such a high stress level he is unable to think clearly, he has had mini strokes or he has a low I.Q.
People do develop better speech patterns with a higher emotional maturity level, but this President speaks as someone who is emotionally immature.
On the school ground everything is: “My dad is bigger than your dad”, “I am the greatest”, “you never saw such results”, “No one ever did so well on that test as I did.” There are few details or accurate examples in his speech pattern; it’s child-like.
My point is do not give him any of your mature or illuminated ideas. I am sure he did not come up with daily Covid 19 press briefings himself.
Because I recently saw a tweet that said, “If the president would just do what the scientists said about the Covid 19 he would be a hero and could win the election.
The next thing we know we have daily Corona Virus press conferences with speeches written by professional speech writers. He did not think this up himself. He got it from us. So please monitor what you share.
Secondly goading him only increases his inner chaos, causing more tantrums, and possibly more people getting hurt, Ex.: (unidentified militia ) being sent to peaceful protests. A structured environment where all give him the same answers is the healthiest response. No Mr.
President you can’t send troops to arrest protestors. They have amendment rights to freedom of speech and lawful assembly. No Mr.
President you cannot put children in cages and then send them to other destinations without tracking mechanisms for the parents to relocate them, it violates their rights as world citizens. No, Mr. President you cannot make deals with foreign governments, that is treason.
And then send him out to golf. That is the safest place for him until November.
