Wannabe Dictator
Trump’s King Photo proves he’s a Wannabe Dictator
“Days after suggesting he is above the law, Donald Trump declared himself “king” following his administration’s push to strike down new tolls for Manhattan drivers to raise funds for the city’s aging mass transit system. CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD, he wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. “Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”
Trump’s ambitions of wanting to be a Dictator has been clear for years. On 06/15/2018, Trump stated regarding North Korea’s brutal, murderous Dictator Kim Jong Un… “He’s the head of a country and he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
March 3, 2018 Trump praised China’s President Xi Jinping for consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn’t mind making such a maneuver himself. “He’s now president for life. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”
This is more proof that Ted Cruz was right when he called Trump “a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen” and Dr. John Gartner, who called Trump a “Psychiatric Frankenstein Monster who is divorced from reality”.

How many laws has Trump, who thinks he’s a king, violated publicly?
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell examines how many laws Trump, who “asserted kingly powers” in a social media post, has violated in just one month of his second term as some judges do not think Trump and his administration are fully obeying orders.
Everyone knows… if Trump were a DEMOCRAT, they would have Impeached him a LONG time ago… #RepublicansAreHypocrites!
Trump saying he has “Total Authority” and insinuating if States don’t follow his orders it would be Mutiny is yet another example that he is a Wanna-Be King & Dictator.
Throughout his presidency, Trump has, at every turn, advanced extreme legal arguments and made excuses to avoid the traditional oversight that previous presidents have accepted. In the process, he has negated the checks and balances that are at the heart of our constitutional system, and elevated himself to a king-like position.
Trump is a Wannabe Dictator Who Expects Everyone to Kiss His Ass
During an interview with Fox News’s Steve Doocy Trump stated regarding North Korea’s brutal dictator Kim Jong Un; “He’s the head of a country and he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different,” Trump said “He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
How Wannabe Dictators become REAL Dictators
Trump wants to be a Dictator… FOR LIFE
Trump appears to channel Napoleon in vision for executive authority: ‘He who saves his Country does not violate any Law’ | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump on Saturday offered a cryptic, one-sentence insight into what appears to be the guiding philosophy behind the first weeks of his presidency – and his expansive and unprecedented efforts to reshape the use of executive authority.
On February 16, 2025 Trump appeared to channel Napoleon in vision for executive authority: ‘He who saves his Country does not violate any Law’.
Trump is not saving our country, he’s DESTROYING it. Evidence shows the Majority of Americans didn’t vote for Trump & the 2024 Election was RIGGED, therefore Trump is an ILLEGITIMATE President who has no legal authority. Trump admitted the 2024 election and future elections will be rigged when he said “I don’t need your votes”. “Get out and vote just this time…. you won’t have to do it anymore… we’ll have it fixed so good, in four years you don’t have to vote again”.
Trump thanked Elon Musk at a rally on 1-19-2025 for help with Vote Counting Machines. Musk stated how easy computers are to hack. When Tucker Carlson asked Musk’s 4 yr/old son if Trump was going to win, he said; “Yeah, they’ll never know”.
Trump on China’s Xi consolidating power: ‘Maybe we’ll give that a shot some day’ | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump, during a freewheeling speech to Republican donors in Florida on Saturday, attacked his former presidential rival Hillary Clinton, one of his predecessors in President George W. Bush, and praised China’s President Xi Jinping for his recent move eliminating term limits.
Trump’s ambitions of wanting to be a Dictator has been clear for years. On 06/15/2018, Trump stated regarding North Korea’s brutal, murderous Dictator Kim Jong Un… “He’s the head of a country and he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”

Trump Order Puts Independent Federal Agencies Under His Control | WorldatWork
The EEOC, NLRB, SEC and dozens of other agencies would need to ensure their regulations, policies and law interpretations align with those of the President.
Per the above article: On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025 Trump signed “Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies, an executive order that would allow the White House to control independent federal agencies that have traditionally operated outside of its direct supervision and influence.
The Trump administration also released a support document, “Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Reins in Independent Agencies to Restore a Government that Answers to the American People.
The landmark executive order, which aims to establish “oversight” and “accountability” through “Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch,” could impact more than 50 independent agencies — from the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Election Committee and Federal Trade Commission to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and National Science Foundation.
Perhaps most notable for total rewards professionals are the:
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination in numerous areas (e.g., hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, benefits).
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which enforces the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), conducts elections to determine union representation and investigates allegations of unfair labor practices (e.g., wages, pay rates, working hours, work conditions).
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), which was created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to encourage the continuation and maintenance of voluntary private defined benefit pension plans, provide timely and uninterrupted payment of pension benefits, and monitor pension insurance premiums.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which requires public companies to disclose how much they pay their executives, and how that pay relates to corporate financial performance.
Social Security Administration (SSA), which assigns Social Security numbers and administers retirement, disability insurance and other benefit programs.
Federal agencies typically are run by bipartisan panels whose members are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate for fixed terms, removable only for misconduct (for instance, the NLRA states NLRB members can only be removed for “neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause”). Over the past month, Trump has challenged the precedents for board dismissal and installation, stating tenure protections are unconstitutional.
Backdrop and Details
What is the purpose of this latest move?
In his executive order, Trump stated:
“Previous administrations have allowed so-called ‘independent regulatory agencies’ to operate with minimal Presidential supervision. These regulatory agencies currently exercise substantial executive authority without sufficient accountability to the President, and through him, to the American people. Moreover, these regulatory agencies have been permitted to promulgate significant regulations without review by the President.”
“These practices undermine such regulatory agencies’ accountability to the American people and prevent a unified and coherent execution of federal law. For the federal government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President.”
“Therefore, in order to improve the administration of the executive branch and to increase regulatory officials’ accountability to the American people, it shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch.”
According to the Trump administration, such power is warranted by the U.S. Constitution. “Article II … vests all executive power in the President, meaning that all executive branch officials and employees are subject to his supervision,” stated one of the first points in the fact sheet tied to this order.
This statement advances a conservative legal doctrine called the “unitary executive” theory, which envisions vast executive authority for a President, even when Congress has historically sought to limit such power.
To mobilize this plan, the executive order calls out:
All federal agencies must: 1) submit draft regulations for White House review, and 2) consult with the White House on their priorities and strategic plans. From there, the White House will set their performance standards.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will adjust agency budget apportionments “to ensure tax dollars are spent wisely.”
The President and the U.S. attorney general (subject to the President’s supervision and control) “will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.”
Toward the third bullet point, the executive order stated, “No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the attorney general’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the attorney general.”
According to the White House’s fact sheet, “The United States was founded on the principle that the government should be accountable to the people. That is why the founders created a single President who is alone vested with ‘the executive power’ and responsibility to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Voters and the President can now hold all federal agencies — not just cabinet departments — responsible for their decisions, as the Constitution demands.”
Commentary on the Executive Order
The executive order is certain to face lawsuits from certain agency leaders, politicians and advocacy groups. Both sides of the aisle may advance this issue to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the current conservative majority may provide its take on the validity of the “unitary executive.”
Past U.S. Presidents have rarely challenged the independence of federal agencies. Some have made it a point to formally acknowledge their inability to interfere, even when their political stance differs from agency actions. However, Trump, on Feb. 15, made a counter claim on social media platform X, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Following the Feb. 18 executive order signing, several prominent individuals and groups commented on the new policy and its constitutionality.
Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, a consumer rights advocacy group, statedOpen in a new tab, “This is a profoundly dangerous idea for the nation’s health, safety, environment and economy — and for our democracy. Congress made independent agencies independent of the White House for good reason. [Under the executive order,] independent agencies would become dependent — dependent on the whims of Trump, [OMB director Russell] Vought and their corporate buddies. This would be a disaster for America.”
Peter M. Shane, a legal scholar and adjunct law professor at New York University, told the New York TimesOpen in a new tab, “This is a power move over independent agencies, a structure of administration that Congress has used for various functions going back to the 1880s.”
Daniel Farber, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, told National Public RadioOpen in a new tab, “Given Trump’s insistence on complete loyalty to him on the part of all government employees, this move is designed to extend his grip on the government to areas that previously have been nonpartisan.”
Farber envisions the result will be regulatory whiplash, particularly in the areas of labor and finance. He stated, “The commission system has given these areas of the law some degree of stability, so the rules do not completely flip after every election. That would change under [the Trump executive order].”
James Broughel, an economist and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, stated in an article for ForbesOpen in a new tab, “[This] raises fundamental constitutional questions. If the President and Vice President are the only executive branch officials accountable to the American people, how can powerful regulatory agencies function without their direct oversight? Supporters of independent agencies argue their independence is needed to shield them from political influence. Critics respond that their independent status undermines democratic principles, effectively creating a fourth branch of government that is answerable to no one.”
Since Trump took office on January 20,2025, his executive orders are proving that he LIED about “know nothing” about Project 2025 to get elected. Several of his ‘picks’ were directly involved in formulating & supporting Project 2025. Since Trump lied to get elected, he essentially engaged in a “bait & switch” and DEFRAUDED the American people. Actions he’s been taking is causing IRREPARABLE HARM to our country and our quality of life by cutting safety-net programs, including Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, increasing the National Debt by Trillions due to give MORE tax cuts to the rich, and other issues.
Evidence is emerging which shows the Majority of Americans didn’t vote for Trump & the 2024 Election was RIGGED, therefore Trump is an ILLEGITIMATE President. Trump admitted the 2024 election and future elections will be rigged when he said “I don’t need your votes”. “Get out and vote just this time…. you won’t have to do it anymore… we’ll have it fixed so good, in four years you don’t have to vote again”.
Trump thanked Elon Musk at a rally on 1-19-2025 for help with Vote Counting Machines. Musk stated how easy computers are to hack. When Tucker Carlson asked Musk’s 4 yr/old son if Trump was going to win, he said; “Yeah, they’ll never know”.
Recent investigations claim over 3 million voters were disenfranchised by Republicans using last minute voter purges, voter challenges & voter suppression tactics. Data analysts are finding evidence of hacking & rigging in Swing States. I think all of these issues should be included if a Class Action lawsuit is needed for relocation.
The American people doesn’t want nor did they knowingly vote for “Project 2025” or for our country to become like Victor Orbán’s Hungary, Putin’s Russia or for a DICTATOR / KING for life, where every Federal Department is under his direct control. The American people didn’t knowingly vote to allow Elon Musk to ransack the Treasury… to go through their personal files and potentially make copies.
The American people didn’t knowingly vote to have Affordable Health Care, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security cut and/or abolished, to have the Department of Education and other Government agencies eliminated.
After Trump’s numerous lawless actions which include inciting an insurrection to overturn the 2020 election which resulted in 5 deaths, Abuse of Power, making threats of retribution, promising to violate his Oath of Office, Citizens Rights, the Constitution and Freedom of Speech, he should have been BANNED from running for President ever again. Constitutional lawyers stated that the 14th Amendment disqualified him, but Republicans didn’t give a damn.
After all of Trump’s outrageous and lawless conduct, by doing everything possible to put Trump in the White House in 2024, Republicans have proven they are LAWLESS, have NO DECENCY, NO MORALS, NO PRINCIPLES, NO SHAME, have put party, politics & political careers above all else and have helped to DESTROY our country.
Mitt Romney said Republicans didn’t vote to Impeach Trump out of FEAR of Trump’s Supporters. Due to Republican’s cowardice and failure to do what was right, the United States Constitution is being violated and our country is being destroyed. Trump’s insane statements about Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada, the Gaza Strip, illegal Executive Orders and tariffs which will hurt consumers, prove how unfit he is.
The Americans people doesn’t to want to live under the Rule of a Lying, Lawless, Wannabe Dictator Lunatic who mental health professionals have called a Psychiatric Frankenstein Monster who is divorced from reality, who has declared himself to be a KING, who has threatened retribution, to ‘lock up’ opponents, eliminate Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. This is why millions of people has been protesting against Trump. They HATE his guts, and for good reason.
Trump embodies the Worst Traits a human being is capable of possessing; Liar, Lawless, Vile, Evil, Vindictive, Hateful, Mean Spirited, Spoiled, Expects Everyone to Kiss his Ass, Selfish, Stupid, Immature, Delusional, Gullible, Know-it-all Braggart, Lacks Empathy, has No Humility, never Apologies, Blames Others, claims he’s Always Right and Never Admits Making a Mistake.
I feel every entity responsible for Trump in the White House should have to pay One Million dollars to each American citizen who wishes to leave the United States and relocate to an other country, including Trump, the RNC, Right Wing News outlets and the United States Government. Evidence shows TRUMP LIED about Project 2025 to get elected, plus many other issues as documented by Politifact. His actions are causing irreparable harm to American citizens and our Government.
Trump and Republicans are DESTROYING our country and turning it into an UN-LIVABLE, Restrictive, Anti-democratic, Authoritarian FASCIST HELL HOLE similar to Victor Orbán’s Hungary. Trump is following Orbán’s playbook.
Biggest LIAR in History
Trump began his Presidency with an outrageous lie by having his Press Secretary say; “This Was the Largest Audience to Ever Witness an Inauguration, PERIOD!”… when everyone could see, Trump’s crowd size was considerably smaller than President Obama’s.
Sean Spicer behaved like a Dictator’s Press Secretary by DEMANDING the press report a LIE about Trump’s Inauguration being the biggest and best. Because EVERYTHING Trump does HAS to bigger and better that anyone else…. FACTS BE DAMNED.
Americans had never seen such outrageous, authoritarian conduct out of a Press Secretary until Trump (who received less votes than his opponent) was installed as President by the Electoral College. This is the type of conduct seen out of Fascist Dictator’s Press Secretaries in North Korea or Russia.
This set the tone for how Trump conducted himself throughout his presidency… a Wanna-be Dictator who gaslite and lied to his subjects… DEMANDING respect instead of earning it.
Trump told Outrageous Lies to Get Elected
Politifact debunked hundreds of false statements by Trump such as: “There is no evidence Joe Biden won”… “In 2020, the ballots that were counted were fake ballots”… “Eighty-two percent of the country understands that the 2020 election was rigged” , “The Harris-Biden Administration fraudulently manipulated Job Statistics”… “Kamala Harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses to give chemical castration drugs to young children”… “Democrats used COVID to cheat in the 2020 election” , “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” , “You had (4,925) out-of-state voters in Georgia” , “All legal scholars, both sides, wanted, and in fact demanded” that Roe v. Wade be overturned” , “I’m not allowed to testify because of a gag order”, “tariffs and taxes saved the American auto industry from extinction” , “They are trying to make it illegal to question the results of a bad election” , “Haley’s plan cuts Social Security benefits for 82% of Americans”.
Trump accused Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary and Ted Cruz’s father being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.

Trump LIED to get re-elected when he said; “I know nothing about Project 2025”. Since taking office, he’s been checking off the list with his executive orders and hired people who were directly involved in formulating Project 2025. Since Trump lied to get elected, he defrauded the American people and therefore obtained the Presidency by fraud and deception.

Trump Lies about Non-existent Protestors
For years, Trump has lied about how many supporters attended his presidential inauguration and numerous campaign rallies.
Now he’s pushing a blatant lie about how many supporters have attempted to show up at his first criminal trial – and he’s making additional false claims about security measures around the Manhattan courthouse, which he is baselessly blaming for keeping these supposed supporters away.
After The New York Times published a story that said Trump was unhappy with the meager crowd he saw when he arrived at the courthouse for opening statements on Monday, On April 24, 2024 , Trump got caught in one of his biggest lie yet by falsely claims police turned away ‘thousands’ from Manhattan courthouse and that supporters ‘can’t get near’ and wrote on social media that “Lower Manhattan surrounding the Courthouse was completely CLOSED DOWN.” And he told reporters inside the courthouse on Tuesday: “For blocks you can’t get near this courthouse.”
This is more proof of what a Narcissistic Psychopathic Nutcase Trump is who is either one of the biggest liars in American History or/and he’s so delusional that he believes his own bullshit. And it’s more proof that Trump is totally unfit to hold ANY position in Public Office, let alone President of the United States.

Trump either LIED about losing the Popular Vote by 2.9 Million because he can’t accept being the loser of anything or he’s Delusional if he really believes “millions of people voted illegally”. In either case, he’s unfit to be President.

Mental Health Professionals Sound The Alarm About Trump
Mental Health Professionals Sound the Alarm about Trump, stating that he is a malignant narcissist and clear, present danger to the United States
In the above video, Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies.
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”
Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.

Psychiatrist Warns Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’ As Trials Get Closer
Per the article referenced in the above video at; salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-justin-frank-on-power-and
“Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is a lawless person — but his malign influence extends far beyond himself.
We are a society more divided than united. Many of us are anti-intellectual and don’t want to think. That makes such people attracted to strongmen and bullies like Trump. Trump has made his followers reject the truth for alternate facts – and that makes most of us insecure and uncertain about what to believe.
Trump’s “dangerous charisma” attracts already corrupt and ethically compromised people into his orbit. He also exerts a malignant perfidious influence over people who are vulnerable to such energy and temptations, but for whatever reason have not yet fully surrendered to them. This is a defining feature of dangerous leaders.
Dr. Frank continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in.” Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.
From the time Trump was five years old, he hated rules and couldn’t control himself. If Trump didn’t like something, he would convert feelings into immediate action. He threw rocks at a toddler who lived next door when he was five. He punched out his second-grade teacher because he got mad at him. As a father, Trump knocked out his son, Don Jr., when he was in high school because he wasn’t dressed appropriately. Trump has always been like this. As people age, they generally do not change; they instead become more of their true selves. His capacity for self-restraint is becoming a thinner veneer over fundamental destructiveness. He is increasingly no longer able to fake it. This is why Trump is in court acting out, mumbling, being angry and disruptive.
In my opinion, Donald Trump is a “segmental thinker”. He lives in the moment and is attracted by a shiny object and forgets everything else.
The main thing that I am worried about is the complacency of the public and specifically the country’s leaders and law enforcement and other people in positions of authority and power who are still letting Trump run wild. Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic. He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him.
Dozens Of Mental Health Professionals Sign Letter Declaring Trump Has Dementia
As Trump’s mental decline becomes even more pronounced, a petition has begun circulating online asking mental health professionals to sign on and declare that Trump does, in fact, seem to be suffering from dementia. Dozens of professionals in the mental health field have already signed onto the petition, but they are technically not able to give a real diagnosis without examining him in person.
Cognitive Warning Signs About Trump
Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”
“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.
In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.
“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”
Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.
According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;
- Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
- Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
- Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
- Needing constant admiration from others
- Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
- Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
- Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
- Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
- Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

Mental Health Professional Says Trump’s Recent Speeches Could Be Signs Of Brain Damage
Dr. John Gartner, a licensed psychologist and former professor at Johns Hopkins, told Salon.com’s Chauncey DeVega that there are likely significant cognitive impairments with Donald Trump, and the evidence could be as clear as just his last few public appearances. Another mental health professional also said that there could be evidence of actual “brain damage” with Trump. While both Trump and President Biden are prone to gaffes these days, there aren’t swarms of mental health professionals sounding the alarms about Biden, and that really tells us something.

Per an article at; theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/07/donald-trump-abuse-father-niece-mary-book;

His “outrageous behaviour “threaten the world’s health, economic security and social fabric” and were shaped by his “high-functioning sociopath” father during childhood, according to a bombshell book written by the president’s niece”.
“Child abuse is, in some sense, the expectation of ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’,” she writes. “Donald directly experienced the ‘not enough’ in the loss of connection to his mother at a crucial development stage.
“Having been abandoned by his mother for at least a year, and having his father fail not only to meet his needs but to make him feel safe or loved, valued or mirrored, Donald suffered deprivations that would scar him for life.
“The personality traits that resulted – displays of narcissism, bullying, grandiosity – finally made my grandfather take notice but not in a way that ameliorated any of the horror that had come before.”

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to expose the unprecedented corruption of the Trump administration’s first six weeks in office. Murphy condemned Trump’s normalization of pay-to-play politics, where billionaire donors dictate policy and taxpayer money is funneled into the pockets of the president, Elon Musk, and the corporate elite.
“In the first six weeks of the Trump presidency, Trump and Elon Musk and their billionaire friends have engaged in a stunning rampage of open public corruption,” Murphy said. “It’s not fundamentally different than what happened in Russia. These are efforts to steal from the American people to enrich themselves. And their strategy is to do it all out in the open, to do it at such a dizzying pace that the country just gets overwhelmed or anesthetized or dulled into a sense that we just all have to accept the corruption – or, maybe more charitably, that this is just how government works, that government is just corrupt, and so the fact that it’s happening out in the open instead of happening secretly, well, it’s really nothing new.”
Murphy laid out more than 20 examples of blatant corruption from just the first six weeks of the Trump presidency, including:
- The launch of Trump’s meme coin, enabling anyone seeking to influence the administration to privately funnel money directly to the president.
- The gutting and manipulation of watchdog agencies like the NLRB, CFPB, and OSHA to benefit Elon Musk, the billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, and other elites.
- The Eric Adams quid pro quo and the weaponization of the DOJ to reinforce a system of political retribution and favoritism.
- The use of government contracts and stock deals to reward Trump’s allies, enriching them through taxpayer-funded opportunities and further consolidating political power.
“This is how democracies die,” Murphy continued. “Democracies die when the very powerful people steal from us so regularly, so openly, so unapologetically, that we come to believe that it’s normal. And listen, I understand that many Americans may think that all of this stuff just used to happen quietly, and the only difference is that Trump and Musk are just putting it all out in the open. And I’m not saying that there haven’t been instances of corruption. Democrats and Republicans in this body have been accused of, and convicted of, acts of corruption. It has been a fact of life in American politics for a long time. But never before has the corruption happened this openly or this frequently. And so I lay it all out for you this afternoon in the hopes that it is not too late for us to decide to stand up, as a body and as a nation, to say that this isn’t okay.”

Trump’s Corrupt Pardons Show His Contempt for the Rule of Law
Trump pardons 15, including 4 Blackwater defendants who killed 14 innocent, unarmed Iraqis.
Donald Trump grants 15 pardons: he pardoned Republican Congressman Chris Collins who committed financial crimes/insider trading, Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter who stole campaign money from his supporters, he pardoned George Papadopoulos who lied to the FBI about contacts with Russians.
But worst of all, he pardoned the four Blackwater contractors who slaughtered 14 innocent, unarmed Iraqi men and women and injured 17 others. My former office, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, prosecuted those four defendant three times, trying to bring justice to the dozens of Iraqi citizens and their surviving family members. Trump’s pardons of these murderers is a horrific affront to victims rights the world over.

Underwater on everything: Americans disapprove of what Trump is doing on every issue in new poll
Rachel Maddow shares the results of a new Gallup poll that shows Donald Trump underwater (with a bigger “disapprove” number than “approve”) on every category of performance in the poll. In practical terms, that means Trump had to withdraw his nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik to be UN ambassador because he is afraid of not being able to replace her House seat with another Republican and the House margin is too close to risk it. Mar 28, 2025
‘Unpopular’: Trump whines about Fox News poll showing his approval rating cratering

Trump’s second term already falling apart less than 100 days in, polls show
Donald Trump’s second term is not even 100 days old and already his standing with Americans has soured, with polls showing opposition on major themes as well as specific issues, and the numbers only get worse as time passes. Rachel Maddow reviews the results of several major polls that show Donald Trump’s second term is already falling apart.
Protests and Historic low poll numbers prove Americans are FED UP with Trump and can’t stand him
Rachel Maddow notes that Elon Musk’s poor performance in the political spotlight has not only damaged his personal brand, but also his companies, and Tesla in particular. And meanwhile, his political activity with DOGE has turned out to not even be worth it, producing a string out embarrassing mistakes and outraged backlash. Now the Washington Post reports that Musk is eyeing the exit.
Polling debunks Musk excuse that his unpopularity, collapse of Tesla, is because of paid protesters
After Tesla showed a steep drop in profits and a sliding stock price, Elon Musk was quick to blame fake protesters for manipulating public opinion against him. Rachel Maddow takes a look at polls of public opinion that suggest that Musk should reconsider the public appetite for destroying the U.S. government and firing public workers.

Protests Prove Americans Hate Trump
Millions turn out nationwide for ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump administration
IMO, the reason 57% of U.S. Adults disapprove of Trump and millions of people are showing up for protests nationwide is because the Majority didn’t vote for Trump and are outraged that he’s back in the White House.
Trump and his sycophant cronies claiming Protestors are PAID is BULLSHIT. It’s not only a false statement, but it appears to be rooted in Trump’s narcissism and his inability to admit that the majority of Americans hate his guts. Trump saying people who protest against him ‘hate our country’ is more BULLSHIT. They hate HIM, not our country. This is how DICTATORS talk and it’s time the News Media call him out for his insane statements and conduct.
American Psychologist & Psychotherapist Dr. John Gartner once stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Polls and protests show that the majority of Americans are FED UP with Trump and want him to just GO AWAY. It’s clear that he has no intentions of ‘serving the people’… he wants the people to SERVE HIM and be his subjects. On 06/15/2018, Trump stated regarding North Korea’s brutal, murderous Dictator Kim Jong Un; “He’s the head of a country and he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
Trump has done more to destroy and divide our country than any other figure in history.

Trump Admin Seeks to Eliminate ‘Free & Fair’ Elections
The Trump Administration Is Going After Our Elections Too
Government employees have long protected the ballot from attacks. The president is preparing to fire many of them.
Per the above article: “In its crusade against federal agencies, the Trump administration is targeting our election system, making potentially dangerous reductions to protections that help keep elections free, fair, and secure. On Friday, the acting director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency sent a memo to all agency staff notifying them that “all election security activities” would be paused pending the results of an internal investigation. The memo also stated that the administration was cutting off all funds to the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center—a Department of Homeland Security–funded organization that helps state and local officials monitor, analyze, and respond to cyberattacks targeting the nation’s election hardware and software.
The work of CISA and the EI-ISAC has been central to election security in the United States for most of the past decade, providing state and local election officials with critical tools and assistance to defend against cyber and physical threats to election systems. These steps and other recent blows to federal election guardrails were foretold in Project 2025. Understanding the playbook will help us be ready to push back when the next shoes drop.
Changes to CISA began shortly after Kristi Noem was sworn in as secretary of Homeland Security, which oversees the agency. Beyond the announced election security pause and defunding of EI-ISAC, the agency also put critical election security staff on leave and targeted them for potential termination. These staff include CISA’s regional election security advisers, who are former state and local election officials that provide on-the-ground security support to current frontline election workers, and members of the agency’s Election Resilience team, who were reportedly targeted because they had previously been involved with the agency’s efforts to communicate accurate information about election security to election officials and the public.
Although state and local election officials from both sides of the aisle have praised CISA for providing such support, President Donald Trump and several other conservatives have criticized the agency ever since Trump’s first appointee to lead CISA, Christopher Krebs, promoted accurate information about the 2020 election, including that the election was secure. (The president continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was rigged.)
According to reports, leaders at the Department of Homeland Security will decide next steps for CISA’s election security initiatives when its review is completed March 6. But given the president’s attacks on CISA’s work, it is not difficult to imagine that the administration will permanently gut the agency’s election security role, as recommended in Project 2025.
Even if CISA nominally continues to offer limited election security support, cutting its staff and deprioritizing its work may mean that the nearly 10,000 local election officials on the ground feel very little benefit from the group.
The new administration’s attacks on federal election security assistance extend beyond CISA or the EI-ISAC. Almost immediately after she was sworn in as attorney general, Pam Bondi disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force—another target of Project 2025. The task force was established during Trump’s first term, following Russian actors’ attempts to interfere in the 2016 election by hacking campaign emails, influencing public opinion through social media, and probing for cybersecurity weak points in voter registration systems. Interference from Russia and other countries continues to threaten American elections. In 2024 bomb threats that appeared to come from Russian email domains were sent to polling locations, videos tied to Russia falsely depicted election workers destroying ballots, and hackers tied to Iran successfully obtained and attempted to leak documents from the Trump campaign. Now a critical line of defense against these attacks is gone.
The Trump administration also took aim earlier this month at the Federal Election Commission, the bipartisan agency that regulates campaign finance in federal elections. Project 2025 called for a weaker FEC, arguing that the independent agency should do less to regulate political spending. In an unprecedented move, Trump tried to fire the commission’s chair. The move came just as the FEC is set to adjudicate campaign finance complaints from the 2024 election, many of which involved billionaire Elon Musk’s contributions to and spending on behalf of the Trump campaign.
Each of these maneuvers weakens the guardrails that have kept American elections secure and fair. And again, they may be just the beginning, given other election-related recommendations in Project 2025.
The plan also further advocates targeting public and private institutions like task forces and university researchers that study election lies and attempt to communicate accurate election information to the public. Project 2025 even suggests weaponizing civil rights laws to go after election officials, voting registration groups, and nonpartisan voter-friendly policies.
Fortunately, the pushback against at least some of these efforts already has a blueprint in the pushback against executive orders targeting other government functions. Dozens of lawsuits have already been filed in response to Trump’s executive orders. Public pressure campaigns also appear to have had some success, with leaders in the Trump administration reversing course on policy decisions like the federal funding freeze. Any efforts by the Trump administration to use the Department of Justice or the Federal Communications Commission—as was suggested by Project 2025—to prevent Americans from voting, or exercising their First Amendment rights to tell the truth about elections, can likewise be fought in courts of law and public opinion”.
Republicans have declared War on Voting, using Voter Obstruction tactics, Voter Purges, decreasing Drop Boxes, decreasing the days and hours people can vote, passed laws making it a Crime to give Food or Water to people having the wait in long lines they’re responsible for causing, to discourage and punish people in urban areas who they feel are most likely to vote for Democrats, from voting.
To Republicans, winning at all costs is a “Zero Sum Game”. They know the only way they can win, is if you lose.
New Trump Order makes Voting IMPOSSIBLE for Millions of Americans. His latest executive order will block at least 21 million people from voting in future elections.
