Donald Trump is a “puppet” to psychopathic traits that are likely to become even more dangerous if Republicans suffer a bruising defeat in next month’s midterm elections, a leading clinical psychologist has warned.
Dr. Vincent Greenwood, director of the Washington Center for Cognitive Therapy, also believes the president’s danger is underestimated and warrants invoking the 25th Amendment.

Why did I have to open an archive.ph link to access a Daily Beast article?
I mean, props for the archive link and being mindful of those who cannot bypass paywalls, etc. Thank you for the basic posting courtesy, and I mean that. But honestly the archive link belongs in the body, so that people like me who pay attention to sources can see before they click what they’re giving clicks to.
Keep in mind that anything coming out of the archive.today set of archive links is not just an archive, but is also behind what amounts to a link shortener.
Here’s the non-archive link for anyone who uses source as a criterion for choosing whether to read an article:

I think he misspelled “psychopathic”
The way to think about Trump is this: imagine it’s 1965 and you’re dealing with a rich horny 19 year old boy from NYC.
His entire frame of reference is that of himself at 19. He never grew up. When you look at him like that, all his antics, behavior, “reasoning” etc. make perfect sense.
All Republicans are opportunists who will gladly use this to their advantage.
Doesn’t matter to Republicans though – foreign (Xi, Bibi, Putin) and domestic (Musk, Thiel, etc.) – that just makes him easier to control.
This is all about every benefactor who contributed to Trump’s dodging of prison and reelection getting their payout in one form or another.
And why do blue-collar maga not care, you ask? Well decades of undermining education, increasing their work hours, distracting them with bullshit and sports and identity issues and drugs and the giant propaganda speakers of billions of dollars of money (again foreign and domestic) means it’s very… Very hard for these people to unplug themselves from The Matrix and to see reality for what it is. Trump said, “I love the poorly educated” and “Smart people don’t like me” for a reason of course.
“The clinical psychopath is just…
Not a real thing…
Like, it’s just literally not a real thing. If trump actually had ASPD (anti social personality disorder) he wouldn’t be this evil or do this much damage. And he’d be biochemically incapable of being racist, but he’s definitely fucking racist.
Any doctor talking about psychopath 13 years after it was removed from the DSM shouldn’t be listened to, even if they’re saying what we want to hear
Aye. We know.
Congress needs an Executive Babysitting Committee where they bring in Trump for questioning and answering to his administration’s crimes every day with a rotating inquisitor. That should occupy him enough to keep him from doing dumb shit because on the weekend he’ll only have energy to go golfing.
Not reading that. Daily Beat is a shitty shitty source.
I don’t disagree with this headline, but I was mainly opening article to see if they addressed the fact that doctors are bound not to diagnose without seeing the patient, so while it is probably true, it’s wrong of doctors to say. Btu seeing the source, no thanks.
He’s a puppet to more than that
