I don't know what really goes on on the border{s}, but I'm familiar with the results of OWS. Project Star Gates is still in working. Trump supports Palantir, a corporation. which AI expansion threatens humanity to be taken over by AI. Cool, no?

I give Trump credit for following up on his promises. It’s why I voted for him. he’s not perfect, nobody is, but he’s better than most. Back when I was a Democrat I voted for a candidate who promised “ hope and change” and got kicked in the nuts. That was it for me and Democrats

Trump is the best President the US has ever produced or ever will be capable of producing.

I love what he's done with mRNA shots and how he is using them to ethnically cleanse the world of Americans, so as to make the world a better place.

However, Trump is not a big deal, historically. He is not even in the same league as Nero.

I asked my research assistant to answer the following question:

Compare Donald Trump and Nero to determine how closely each meets criteria for a malignant narcissist or narcissistic psychopath and ascertain which one of the two meets criteria more closely. Would supporters of either leader be likely to have dark tetrad traits of narcissism, psychopathy, sadism and Machiavellianism?

Here is the answer:

Criteria for Malignant Narcissism and Narcissistic Psychopathy

Malignant narcissism is a severe variant of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) that incorporates antisocial (psychopathic) features, paranoia, and sadistic tendencies. It is characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance (grandiosity), profound lack of empathy, manipulative and exploitative behavior, aggression (including sadism), paranoia toward perceived threats, and antisocial disregard for norms or others' rights. Narcissistic psychopathy overlaps heavily, emphasizing psychopathic elements like remorseless exploitation and impulsivity alongside narcissism. These traits form a destructive pattern, often amplified in positions of power, leading to harm against others for personal gain or gratification.

Comparison of Donald Trump and Nero

Both figures exhibit many core traits of malignant narcissism, drawing from historical accounts (for Nero) and psychological analyses (for Trump). Nero's profile relies on ancient sources like Suetonius and Tacitus, which portray him as a tyrannical emperor (r. 54–68 CE) infamous for self-indulgence and cruelty. Trump's assessments come from mental health experts, including retrospective diagnoses in works like The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, highlighting his behavior as U.S. president (2017–2021) and beyond.

Overall Assessment:

Both meet criteria closely, embodying the "sadistic psychopath" archetype of malignant narcissism. Nero edges out as a closer fit due to more documented sadistic and psychopathic acts (e.g., direct murders, tortures), aligning with historical views of him as a "psychopath emperor." Trump's profile is strikingly similar but moderated by democratic checks, making his aggression more indirect—though experts argue it still qualifies as malignant. In absolute power contexts, both illustrate how such traits corrupt leadership.

Dark Tetrad Traits in Supporters

The dark tetrad—narcissism, psychopathy, sadism, and Machiavellianism—refers to socially aversive traits involving manipulation, callousness, and enjoyment of others' suffering. Supporters of leaders like Trump and Nero are likely to exhibit elevated levels, as dark traits correlate with attraction to authoritarian figures who promise dominance and in-group favoritism.

• Trump Supporters: Multiple studies confirm higher dark tetrad traits. Trump voters score elevated on psychopathy (callousness, impulsivity), narcissism (entitlement), Machiavellianism (cynical manipulation), and sadism (enjoying harm to out-groups, e.g., via anti-immigrant rhetoric). For instance, favorable views of Trump predict increased manipulativeness and reduced empathy, with conservatives showing weak positive links to the tetrad overall. This may stem from shared anti-establishment appeals or vicarious thrill in his norm-breaking.

• Nero's Supporters: No direct empirical studies exist due to antiquity, but historical patterns mirror modern findings on authoritarian followers. Nero enjoyed popularity among the plebs (e.g., via games, distributions), likely drawing from those with authoritarian submission (obeying strongmen) and aggression toward deviants (e.g., supporting Christian persecutions). Dark tetrad traits would plausibly be elevated, as followers of tyrants often exhibit Machiavellianism (strategic loyalty for gain), psychopathy (low empathy for victims), and sadism (cheering spectacles of violence). Insecurities and in-group bias make such individuals vulnerable to charismatic, dark leaders.

In summary, yes—supporters of both are likely to have elevated dark tetrad traits, reflecting a psychological affinity for leaders who embody exploitation and dominance. This dynamic perpetuates cycles of harm in authoritarian contexts.

I feel you have surpassed your rather normal/moderate composure. The onus of the truth is almost always in its brievety.

I appreciate your "feeling" about my composure, Horst—though when discussing ideas, thinking tends to be more useful than feeling. As for brevity, truth sometimes needs room to breathe; not every thought worth sharing can be confined to a tweet.

My favorite scene in the movie The Iron Lady, about Margaret Thatcher, involves the retired Prime Minister of Britain in the doctor’s office. She has been experiencing dementia, and the doctor asks her how she feels. Surely, he says, she is bound to be feeling a certain way.

She responds: “What am I ‘bound’ to be feeling? People don’t think anymore. They feel.’How are you feeling?’ ‘Oh, I don’t feel comfortable.’ ‘Oh I’m so sorry, we the group, we’re feeling …’ Do you know, one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas? Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me. Ask me what I’m thinking.”

I catch on to what you are saying and concur with this content. The word "feeling" was effectively not the right one, I will be more careful expressing my thoughts and ideas. People today are empty vessels, here in Bangkok it is rather difficult to meet nice but provocative and persons.

The Iron Lady was a favorite and a great leader of a now fked up and lost nation. I too am tired of the "Like, I feel kinda like ...". Global Culture has become so gynocratic it is disgusting. Even some of the smartest women I know reduce the reasoning and thinking into lines that can only fit on a bumper sticker. This is what was planned - a Cambodian Pol Pot culture against reasoning people.

Don't you love it how Trum's mRNA shots do carnage mostly to democrat voters and Rhinos who took that crap most? Let them die of with turbo cancers and other still unknown conditions. Good job Mr. President

Yeah, starting war in Venezuela deserves the Nobel prize, right? Drumph's contributing to killing 60000 Palestinians makes him doubly deserving of the Prize, too. Threatening WW#3, that's also great stuff. Backing up his promises? He was the believer in peace, what is he delivering???? And you come up with "He's not perfect". Starting a World War sounds great to some people. I give him total credit for being an idiot.

As a foreigner who has embraced and supported 45-47 since mid-2016, being convinced of his "basic" promises and sincerity, along with President and Co-Founder of the American Republic George Washington, he is the best, devoted and courageous President. Let's support him in this ground-breaking rebuilding and cleansing of America, no president before him has done SO MUCH.

What you say is true and it was very encouraging to learn that he welcomed a delegation of Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis to the Oval Office just last month. It would be insubordinate of him to not do so and it is good that he gets his instructions sometimes in face to face meetings.

Trump has the opportunity with Gaza to get praise from all sides plus the chance to stick it to the Zionists. He has two ways of doing it:

(1) Redevelop Gaza as a state-of-the-art Mediterranean resort that becomes the new Palestine, giving the Muslims zero reason to hate either the US or Israel.

(2) Redevelop Gaza as a state-of-the-art Mediterranean resort that becomes the new Israel and return Israel proper to the Palestinians. Encourage the Muslims who've been imported into Western countries to destroy them to move to the new Palestine.

Have a US presence within Israel to keep the peace.

All of the hostilities in the region are due to Israel and it's use of the US to attack all its neighbours. Take that power away and peace could break out in the Middle East.

Trump and Kushner can still profit from the redevelopment and the new shipping canal through Gaza.

Long time prominent conservative radio show host Dr. Michael Savage now with his own show just called meat eating diet "the diet of the stupids, telling them to come on his show when they get colon, prostate cancers and other conditions. He also calls Robert Kennedy stupid for promoting animal cholesterol 5GC fat foods. Savage suffered a stroke or heart attack himself and now pay attention to foods. Listened to him for years , what a change.

Did anybody really read that 21 point peace project? It is still a relocation extermination contract for Gaza and Hamas.

First Trump did nothing. It was his son-in-law Zionist Jew, who wrote the 21 step piece process. It’s horrible for the Gazan people. They must leave Gaza. They’re not allowed to come back. This is all temporary to get them all together not yahoo within like the bomb and kill them. He doesn’t want peace. He’s a Zionist Rothschilds Globalist. He and Trump and Jared plan on making Gaza beachfront property with a Trump hotel and while that’s going on, the p.m. wants war with Iran, but once again they want us to fight it they want our American blood no no no!

Dr. Alexander, I’ll gladly give Trump credit for the border — it’s the one area where results spoke louder than rhetoric. But the same can’t be said for his dealings with the world’s manipulators.

Just as Fauci and Big Pharma outmaneuvered him during COVID, Putin has also learned how to play him — flattering his ego, feeding him the illusion of personal rapport, and then doing whatever he pleases while Trump insists they had a “great relationship.” The same dynamic is unfolding now with Qatar and Hamas. They’ve studied his psychology: praise him, promise him “the greatest deal ever,” then cash in while he’s basking in the spotlight.

Trump’s instincts against globalism are sound. But his vanity keeps turning victories into mirages. The sad irony is that The Art of the Deal author keeps ending up as the mark in someone else’s con.

Re: Gaza, and the deal in Israel: The latest is that 24 nations have signed on to the elements of the rest of the deal. The agreements will be between those nations and each will act according to their eligibility. It is most difficult at this point to realize the bodies have not been returned yet, and that Hamas still has weapons and is using them. Per Marco Rubio, those impediments at the top of the list for the State Department, both at home and in Israel.
