I am a retired educator who taught at the high school and junior high levels, was a college instructor and a school administrator, and who created and implemented successful program to aid schools in improving teaching and learning. I also had a great of graduate study in human development (intellectual, emotional, moral, personality) and the relationship between instruction and learning.
With that background, I judge, from his behavior, that Donald Trump has the moral and emotional development of a two to three year old, the personality development of a sociopathic 13-yar old, and the intellectual development and cognitive ability not exceeding that of an 11 to 13 year old child. In my professional opinion, there is no way that he could have completed a high school education – much level a college or graduate degree – without instructors paid off to give him grades he did not earn, and/or without someone else doing the academic work for him.
In short, he is -- emotionally, morally, intellectually, and personality-wise --damaged goods. And, here we are in the absurd situation of having damaged goods running the country. That was the result of a combination of Russian interference, billions of dollars of support from the culture of greed, an inept campaign by Clinton, and an archaic electoral system. We must NEVER, EVER let such a thing happen again.
hmm, what does that say about those that voted for him?
Agree, except with serious ‘ineptitude’ on the part of HRC’s campaign. The people had been primed by FOX and Hate Radio for decades, trump simply filled out their narrative, as Hillary had been vilified for decades... Look at the lineup of R’s trump got past in their primary, were they also inept?
This is why we had regulations on ‘fairness,’ and ‘political donors.’ And this is the nation without them…
@Bobby9 Hillary was targeted because she was/ is a brilliant woman. She shone in her task of formulating a national health care plan, married a magnificent guy -- and held her own on all counts! Not only having been a successful US Senator and Secretary of State -- she’d also given (second only to her husband) the most charismatic Presidential candidate I’ve witnessed so hard a primary fight ...the race made it to my one-time home state of Oregon! And, Obama won - twice! ...as HRC remained a lady in waiting..
Your right (wrong) wing coalition of wealthy industrialists - religious fanatics - gun worshipers and racist inbreds definitely saw her coming - and attacked accordingly.. She was the mainstay of every ‘rush’ (the provocateur on the radio, not the magnificent Canadian Rock Band) - radio rant. After decades of that shit ...too much of ‘America’ bought it.. Her campaign was hacked and attacked by (your new best friends) the Russians, as well as attacked by the far Left ..your supposed nemesis (or nemisi) until just enough jumped ship during the perfect storm..
Attacked for years on SNL (saturday night live) - and in real life by your regressive Republicans in Congress … the Far-Right Propaganda 'entertainment source,’ ‘fox,’ ...and every no-it-nothing assuming she’d become our first female president…
HRC is solid stuff, the best! If that’s not now recognized ...then this declining nation deserves EXACTLY what it’s got ~
@Bobby9 So - what have you run for my man..? If no one’s pure enough for your vote, who gets it..? I’ve learned to vote Democrat; our only hope ~
I’ve admired the Clinton’s for half my life (half a lifetime) They’re not perfect ..because few are. But they’re not one tenth, or perhaps one ten-thousandth the depraved aggressive morons those who knew & feared the progressive direction they’d have continued to lead our nation spent millions to defeat..
But your side won! Now look at all you’ve got to be proud of… Maybe ..just maybe ‘heretics’ will once again be buried at the stake! ...you supposedly dislike trump.. but love the idea of him and his ugly twin mitch packing the US courts with those capable of ‘locking us up?’
Your side has a lot more to answer for than Bill & Hillary ever did - or ever will...
@Bobby9 Suppose I should be appreciative of having someone to talk with ...kinda like the mormon boys having visited again yesterday evening
But… “I can’t read” … if that’s considered an answer, or a response … I’m stopping right there.. There’s obviously a number of you who do not fit this site. You apparently have not come here to learn, or share what you’ve learned. And, that makes sense… if you’ve remained as closed to reality as demonstrated here … what of value would you have to share?
Too many begin to demand ‘research’ or ‘studies’ … when they’ve apparently run out of life experience. I’m open to studies, will listen to an opinion piece, but always return to what I’ve personally experienced. I don’t mind sharing my experiences, thoughts, fears, concerns or desires, but do expect some of the same in return.
What I’m getting here is what I’ve experienced for decades from your side; nothing. That’s nothing new, nothing personally experienced, nothing heart-felt … nothing but monolithic unsubstantiated hate..
Interesting.. and perhaps telling of something … I’ve gotten more from my morman visitors this summer, at least they sincerely listen. And, show respect ~
A lot of people have reached the same conclusions, and though it is nice to have an expert opinion confirm it, I do not think that you have to be very well qualified to reach them. They more or less chime with mine, for example, and I completely failed at school. (Aspergers back in the day before such a thing was heard of, I left school at fifteen hardly able to write a sentence.)
The serious question that arises: Why was he allowed to wear the presidential crown?
The traits must have been detectable well before he conquered the White House.
He was the ‘sign anything & everything without understanding’ dupe the Republican Party and their Industrial Barons had long hoped for. Weather it’s war, plant closures, home forfeitures or a deep recession, they’ll acquire more wealth..
I am a retired criminal defense attorney, former navy nuke, and I spent many years of my youth growing up on a farm. We had an outhouse and it often had rats. Some of them acted all crazy in the summers. But I can attest that none of them were ever crazier than Donald Trump. He's officially crazier than a sh!thouse rat.
I totally agree with your assessment. I too am an educator (just not retired yet) and have seen similar traits and characteristics as you've described. I've also voiced them on this site more than once. I assume that if he got through Wharton College it was because daddy paid the college off with large contributions.
Hey!!!! A fellow sociopath! Probably why I like him!
my name is jeff messer and I endorse this message.
