    That describes Biden and Obama perfectly.

    It's the Left's superiority complex.

    Your comments are ironic, considering you posted them in response to a post that says Trump should be jailed for his indictments. No trial, just straight to jail...lol

    Short answer, no.

    Trump is a narcissist and he lies to manipulate others, she he's a Manipulative Liar.

    A mild form of a manipulative liar is a parent to their child, "If you don't go to sleep, Santa won't come". So that type of person knows they're lying, but they chose to do so to manipulate. Then they know when to stop lying.

    If someone believes Trump is a Pathological liar, or a Habitual liar, they don't know basic psychology.

    Sorry but your refusal to recognize reality has zero impact on reality.

    Yeah.... That's my point. That's why I didn't bother to debunk more.
    Seems like what you are trying to insinuate that the opposite must be true. That because one symptom is insufficient to diagnose, it must be true that disproving one symptom in not enough to disprove diagnosis. It doesn't work that way.

    Also, and most importantly...In the dsm V it's not just having the symptoms/behaviors it's having the to the degree that the person is dysfunctional and unable to live. That's hardly the case here.
    Diagnoses are designed to identify a person who is disfunctional so that they can be treated enough to make life manageable. Anyone using the diagnosis to stigmatize a person or groups misses the point and their views have basis in real psychology.

    No he was not a Jew.

    https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/hitler-was-jewish-an-old-conspiracy-theory-2941047

    There currently is a Belgian historian who took DNA samples from the saliva of 39 Hitler relatives that found a particular genetic trait found in Berbers and Northern Libyans and specific Northern Arabic peoples some who may be Jews but it hardly establishes a direct link.

    Trump is not Hitler. He is a lot of things but he is Trump. He has similarities to all totalitarian dictators in things he does but his psychological profile is distinct.

    His niece a psychologist wrote a book on him and people have commented on him at a distance but he has never formally been psychiatrically examined.

    Simply taking a passage out of the DSV manual is not the way to accurately diagnose him. Anyone when reading such descriptions from the DSV Psychiatric Manual could quality so its dangerous to read the DSV unless you have the proper training to differentiate entrenched repetitive patterns of the behaviour listed from other psychiatric, neurological, psychological and organic illnesses. Often they coexist or cluster into a a cause and effect chain of behavioural symptoms.

    I think its safe to say he has advanced heart disease, Alzheimer's or other brain dementia, the effects of a stroke, diabetes 2, irritable bowel syndrome, hardening of his arteries and blood flow to his brain all clustered in with various personality disorders best called anti-social personality disorder but with narcissistic, paranoid delusional, addictive compulsive, pathological lying features, dyslexia, aphasic episodes and a low intelligence level which he tries to overcompensate for.

    The point is no one knows for sure the exact balance and cluster unless he allowed a true physical, neurological and psychiatric set of exams which he will not allow.

    I am the first to say he is medically unfit for office.

    I also would make the same argument for Biden who I support of the two arguing Biden has advanced dementia and vulnerability from age related diseases at his advanced age that have no business in the White House given its stress and high impact requirements.

    In fact we should all ask, why is it people have such disdain for politics in the US that this country is left with two very sick men one completely dishonest as well as mentally unfit,(Trump) the other physically and neurologically unfit (Biden).

    To add to that we have the open spectacle of RFK Jr. who shows clear signs of brain damage and will say something then deny it seconds later when its repeated, then repeat it again showing tell tale brain damage from drug abuse specifically cocaine.

    Of late, psychology has a credibility problem:

    (Source; BING AI)
    The field of psychology has been facing a credibility crisis in recent years. A key test of the validity of any scientific study is whether its results can be replicated by other scientists. In 2015, a group called the Open Science Collaboration reported in Science that more than half of 100 studies published in major psychology journals had failed that test, despite painstaking efforts to re-create the original experiments1. This disappointing news was widely covered, including by Scientific American2. In a front-page story, the New York Times declared that the report “confirmed the worst fears of scientists who have long worried that [psychology] needed a strong correction”2.

    Therefore, I don't know if your premise really works that well. I think that it is perfectly appropriate to have an opinion, especially on the 'political opinions & beliefs' forum.

    Oh, have if you have a problem with AI output, there are links which should substantiate the output. I take ownership of the output and If you disagree, well, that is the purpose of this forum, right? Disagree and state your case. But,at least, state your case. Move the debate forward.

    I listed several traits of a sociopath, based on a small amount of research. I don't think I said, nor implied, that only one of the items present is sufficient to label someone a sociopath, I don't think I said that. If not, then quote me.

    Does he run them pretty well? Can you name a business he runs that is successful and that hasn't involved any kind of scam?

    You want to see what real narcissism look at the people who constantly speak in terms of me and mine and I. Trump habitually we and us Trump was willing to share credit for things and frequently did so. Obama and Biden scarcely at all.

    How will one post on a relatively obscure internet forum “ruin someone’s life”?

    Even if he is it still isn't ILLEGAL.
    It would be nice if everyone you didn't like was put in jail but that isn't how the world works (we are close though thanks to biden's 2-tier DOJ)

    I would say that he doesn't understand our form of government. And he had no interest in learning.
