    TDS is a thought terminating cliché.

    You could make that claim for just about anyone who takes a position of any kind of leadership.

    Measures of unacceptable extremes comes in whether the president can listen to and work with others within the framework of our government and whether he can accept that there are objectives more important than himself.

    He is not a sociopath. He is a man with a distasteful personality. There are many more men like that.

    And the problem comes in if you believe you were elected to change things and the majority of those you are trying to work with prefer the sinking ship that are on to doing something to fix the damn leak.

    The thing is, whether Trump has the actual clinical diagnoses or not, we the electorate, are not supposed to have to ask and answer this question about the man who aspires to have the safety and security of the free world at his fingertips. I have never worried about any major party candidate for our highest office actually sharing sharing the same personality defect as Idi Amin of Uganda!

    That's just not an excuse for Trump refusing to work with Republicans.

    Sorry.

    Wow!

    Trump is not behaving like Idi Amin. He hasn't carried out any slaughters, for example.

    I was very specific. " sharing the same personality defect' is not to be equated with 'behaving like'. I was looking that the definition and attributes provided by the OP, and looking for ANYONE leading a nation, who might also be a sociopath. That's the name that came to mind.

    OK, but bringing in Idi Amin is no better than using Hitler to make a point.

    The Neocons wouldn't work with him hell Ryan resigned rather than work with Trump. And twenty odd others did as well.

    The replication crisis. The climate brigade is not immune from that too.

    This is blatantly false. Hitler had a mustache. Trump does not. Therefore, Trump is not Hitler, regardless of any other similarities they might share (e.g., scapegoating minorities, extreme bigotry, dictator).

    Obama on the other hand is satan. The resemblance is uncanny.

    !st it isn't the truth it's self serving garbage that merely saves you the trouble of actually having to under stand what your opposition thinks. 2nd it's that creepy need to lock up people with whom you disagree.
