@grapho @LiberalLibrarian And that doesn't include transcripts.
@RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
oh that's true!
well i can think of one very orange person who won't read any of it ....
@grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
The only books that the Orange Man has read are books by Hitler, Nixon, and Reagan … and his own, of course (even though he didn't write it) …

@OldCountryDoctor I think you are being generous that he has ever read any book outside primary school requirements.
@grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
this is a good point: it seems quite clear that he has a severe learning disability [maybe dyslexia]. when he was a boy, though, that was poorly diagnosed [if at all] and so he was beaten for it, and shipped off to military academy.
who knows what childhood traumas he is still working out to this day. and i mean, sure, everyone has childhood traumas – but the rest of us don't take them out on the entire nation.
@grapho oh I wasn’t referring to dyslexia…all my kids, all 4 of them have severe dyslexia. It used to piss me off when people would make fun of him for his inability to read becasue there are plenty of other reasons to give him shit. I meant mroe it was generous to assume he has enough insight, curiosity, or intellect to want to read *including audio books in my mind*
I just think he is a waste of oxygen, w/ a trifecta personality disorder. @OldCountryDoctor @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
@Thumprhare @grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
My professional opinion: #Trump is a Machiavellian narcissistic sadistic psychopath (what is also called informally in the psychology literature as the evil tetrad = dark triad plus sadism). My training included psychiatry, not clinical psychology. Other professional opinions may differ.

_ neurology student here, I don't have @OldCountryDoctor 's qualifications but I see a lot of classic symptomology for frontotemporal dementia here and have wondered if that could not also be a factor.
@LordSpenserRoberts @Thumprhare @grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
Having personality disorders (including the worst combinations of those) does not, in fact, rule-out physiological changes that can also occur, particularly with increasing age. Those I cannot assess without medical imaging and a thorough neurological examination. None of these, however, are excuses for having an absolutely dreadful so-called "personality". #Trump should face the consequences of his actions nonetheless.
@OldCountryDoctor I think people often try to give him sor of pass for the idea of a comorbid condition…have you seen enough to render FTD impactful to this point? I have not. My guess given his family history he is at higher risk….but his driver is PDs and as you said he needs to be held accountable . Period.
@Thumprhare @LordSpenserRoberts @grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
Absolutely no question about that! I'm sick of excuses.
@Thumprhare @LordSpenserRoberts @grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
All I can say is that better not happen and he MUST face ALL of the consequences of ALL of his actions … (Little bit of shouting here) #Trump
@OldCountryDoctor @Thumprhare @grapho @RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian
- also agree the Trump should face consequenses no matter what
@OldCountryDoctor yeh, I am like “NOPE that guy is totally competent to be held accountable” the willingness to give him some sort of mental health pass is beyond me
