Psychology Today: From the vantage point of risk assessment, Trump is a disaster
=snip=
...consider a Trump Presidency... Trump is completely chaotic at the level of ideology. He is a pathological liar and has no intellectual integrity. He offers virtually no policies and the ones he does offer are impossible and mean-spirited. He is a narcissist who easily manipulated by feeding his ego (see, e.g., Putins comments on Trump) and highly hostile to those who challenge him. In his speeches, he encourages violence, racism, riots, and demagoguery. He is best known as a Twitter bully. When we look at his relations with his own family, we see more evidence of pathology. His brother Freddy drank himself to death. He has sued his relatives. He has repeatedly cheated on his wives. In short, there are an endless number of character indictments and no indication that he has the temperament, knowledge and ability to guide a polarized government through complicated times, nor reassure a public that is restless and feeling increasingly psychologically uncertain, vulnerable and ill. As such, the likelihood that a Trump Presidency would be a disaster with potentially catastrophic consequences is essentially undeniable.

Look for him to start tweeting nasty remarks about them, and possibly even filing suit.

It is a big risk to give the short-fingered vulagarian the Daily Presidential Briefing, as he is scheduled to begin receiving if he is actually nominated by the Repugnant Party.
He is likely to betray Top Secrets and manage to get even those wrong.
