8. Yes, he is those things. But not enough attention is paid to why he behaves that way. Many pundits have talked about

statement 'mistakes', unwise comments, aggressive style, Trump being Trump, lack of empathy, need for dominance, etc..

But what is beginning to dawn on some is WHY he is the way he is, and that's when words such as 'disordered', sociopathic, malignant narcissist, mentally ill, limited, damaged, weird, and incompetent start to appear widely (though on DU those words have been used for a decade). Need more of that, not because there should be another meme, but because it's an apt observation and once the realization spreads that potus is a historically and deeply damaged and dangerous person the country and world can begin to defend itself appropriately.

This is beyond politics. It is existential and accurate words need to be used.
