37. Hate to be a contrarian, Malaise but.....

Oct 2020

I seriously doubt if tRump has the mental, emotional or genetic capacity to be humiliated and suspect all he will feel will be rage, resulting in some serious revenge. From what I've read about psychopaths (as an amateur), the pros say they don't feel remorse, empathy or sympathy or even regret, and refuse to be held accountable for their actions - - depending on the degree of psychopathy in each individual.

His biographers have said he cannot stand to be seen as a loser. This will be the worst loss of his life. He's always been able to fight his way into revenge mode, mostly by tying people up in court for years. It won't work this time, but I'll bet he already has a battle team on standby. He may even dog-whistle his nutcase followers into becoming violent.

I would not want to be anywhere near him on election night, or any of his family for that matter. It appears many of them and his staff suffer from the same mental disorders. We can also be certain a sizable number of his followers are mentally imbalanced as well and many have guns - lots of guns.

Thanks for bringing this up for discussion.

KY.......
