Sociopath-in-Chief

From Newsweek:

In a post on Truth Social early Wednesday morning, Trump shared the picture and wrote: "Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They better get smart soon!" This follows reports of Iran’s latest proposal to end the conflict, which marked its 60th day on Wednesday.

From the Mayo Clinic website article, Antisocial Personality Disorder:

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to purposely make others angry or upset and manipulate or treat others harshly or with cruel indifference. They lack remorse or do not regret their behavior.

People with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. They have difficulty consistently meeting responsibilities related to family, work or school.


Symptoms

Symptoms of antisocial personality disorder include repeatedly:

  • Ignoring right and wrong.
  • Telling lies to take advantage of others.
  • Not being sensitive to or respectful of others.
  • Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or pleasure.
  • Having a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated.
  • Having problems with the law, including criminal behavior.
  • Being hostile, aggressive, violent or threatening to others.
  • Feeling no guilt about harming others.
  • Doing dangerous things with no regard for the safety of self or others.
  • Being irresponsible and failing to fulfill work or financial responsibilities.

Adults with antisocial personality disorder usually show symptoms of conduct disorder before the age of 15. Symptoms of conduct disorder include serious, ongoing behavior problems, such as:

  • Aggression toward people and animals.

  • Lying and dishonesty.
  • Theft.
  • Serious violation of rules.

Antisocial personality disorder is considered a lifelong condition. . . .
