  2. Make no mistake, Trump is a sociopath. Trump quote from 2004, a response to a Larry King Live caller asking how he handles stress. Trump: “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter." Spoken like the true sociopath that he is. Trump meets pretty much every diagnostic criterion of a sociopath.. • Manipulative and Conning  They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as      permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.  • Grandiose Sense of Self  Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."  • Pathological Lying  Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt  A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims and accomplices, who end up as victims. ( Cohen, Stone, Sessions, Manafort, Flynn, etc) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.  • Shallow Emotions  When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Trump is outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.  • Callousness/Lack of Empathy  Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.  ● Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature  Rage and abuse. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.  • Irresponsibility/Unreliability  Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. Trump blamed Dems for his government shutdown, even after he said he would take full responsibility for the shutdown. Trump threw the crowd at his rally under the bus for chanting "send her back" even though they were only repeating his own words and beliefs.
