Good lines from the interview: If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.”
“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.” From: Bill Prince Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 9:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] [OT][Politics] If anyone is curious about DT's "attention to detail", or what he does or doesn't read, they should read this article about the guy that actually wrote "The Art of the Deal" (Tony Schwartz): http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 10/20/2016 8:38 AM, [email protected] wrote: This goes beyond empty campaign promises. This goes to deep personal character flaws. When evaluating people for personality disorders, one of the flags are self serving statements that are almost logically impossible to be literally true such as: I always read the paper, I always go to church, I always take out the trash. A normal person says I "almost" always read the paper or something similar. If we are down with the flu we don't go to church or take out the trash. Trump brags about not reading. Then has the audacity to claim that "Nobody reads the bible more than me". I'll wager he has never read the bible. Or any other significant work of literature or history. Those claims are logically false, literally impossible. They insult the intelligence of the listener. -----Original Message----- From: Travis Johnson Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] [OT][Politics] Come on Chuck... we all know this is politics. The candidates say whatever they think they can get away with, in order to get a vote. Then after they win, they don't have to do any of the things they said they would do. I'd love to see a system where if a candidate makes a promise, wins the election, and then doesn't follow through, that they are held accountable (in some way). Right now it's all just words (from both sides)... saying and doing whatever they can or want to, in order to try and win. Obama did the same thing. "Politics" is the polite word for "liar". :) Travis On 10/20/2016 9:08 AM, [email protected] wrote: I don’t have an issue with some of the positions of Trump, I even agree with some of them. I am a conservative but more centrist libertarian. I fall square to the right on issues of gun control and abortion. Everything else I try to square with my own personal philosophy and world views. I do in-fact read the Bible. I try to be like like the main character of the New Testament. I fail constantly - but I keep trying. I think the guy is psychologically unhinged. For example he has said: “Nobody reads the bible more than me” "My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body." "I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and my women are beautiful." “No one is more conservative than me.” “No one is stronger on the Second Amendment than me.” “No one respects women more than me. No one reads the Bible more than me.” “There’s nobody more pro-Israel than I am.” “There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have.” “There’s nobody who feels more strongly about women’s health issues.” “Nobody knows more about taxes than me, maybe in the history of the world.” “I have studied the Iran deal in great detail, greater by far than anyone else.” “Nobody’s ever been more successful than me.” “Nobody knows banking better than I do.” “Nobody knows more about debt than I do.” “Nobody’s bigger or better at the military I am.” “I am the least racist person you’ll ever meet.” “Nobody knows the system better than me.” “Nobody knows politicians better than me.” “Nobody builds better walls than me.” “Nobody knows more about trade than me.” Symptoms of Meglomaina include: Delusional belief of superiority Delusions of greatness Delusions about one's own power Delusions about one's own importance In brief: Delusions This term would most closely correlate to the dsm-iv delusional disorder, in which the individual holds unrealistic beliefs of inflated worth, power, knowledge, identity, or special relationship to a deity or famous person Source: HealthTap, https://www.healthtap.com/user_questions/265257 Now if all of you had some flapping Ethernet circuits, multi-path fading or a rogue DHCP server you could see the symptoms and derive at a conclusion as to what is happening. I know everyone on this list is smart enough to see symptoms and troubleshoot a system. Do you not see the same symptoms I see when examining the public behavior of Trump?
