    He won't be forgiven for shrugging off the Coronavirus threat when everyone else could see what was coming. Leaving his people woefully unprepared.

    If on the other hand you believe he does not, can you give any example where he has genuine empathy for others, noting where he honestly steps outside of using that opportunity of expressing empathy
    of turning it around and in the process promoting himself. ?

    Narcissists generally have these traits:

    Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from other people
    Continually demeaning, bullying and belittling others
    Exploiting others to achieve personal gain
    Lack of empathy for the negative impact they have on the feelings, wishes, and needs of other people
    Fixation on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
    Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
    Need for continual admiration from others
    Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
    Intense envy of others, and the belief that others are equally envious of them

    Can you see that applying to Trump, and perhaps many others involved in promoting Trump ?
    Hmmm..a US president with all these traits, would have been shot..erm sorry I mean sacked by now....

    Yes you would think so, to the latter, as impairment of personal function requires therapy - but narcissism is one of the hardest to treat as those impaired by it
    do not believe they have a mental health problem, deeply tied to the very reason they exhibit narcissistic tendencies.

    The kindest thing in this case is for the voters to wake up to this, but recent events see manipulation of the voting electoral process. ( I wonder why ? )
    One can only hope intelligence returns there eventually.

    I read here, possibility of the 25th amendment being invoked https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...t-donald-trump
    which calls for the orderly transfer of power when a president becomes temporarily or permanently incapacitated.

    People forgetting that it was a choice between Trump and Hilary Clinton for President. I certainly wouldn't have voted for Clinton which only leaves one option.

    The hysteria about Trump is almost as stupid as Trump himself.

    State Governers are bidding against each other for resources they need to save lives, ventilators, PPE etc.
    No centralised Federal Government help, they are on their own.
    Trump joked about only dealing with States that were “appreciative” to him.
    Mob Boss behaviour.

    Madness, people are...dying.

    I truly believe that Trump is a bullying psychopath, and is getting enjoyment from others suffering.
    It’s all about him.

    He and this situation is what happens when good men sit back and do nothing.

    He knew for many MONTHS this was coming, and ignored it.
    He cut funding for the CDC, and disbanded CDC Departments BASED IN CHINA specifically tasked with dealing with a crisis like this.

    Its not just all on him, but his enablers that for whatever reason are sticking with him, doing whatever he says.
    Dangerous Days.

    No hysteria here, but I do worry about his hair. Anyone who would be happy with that look needs watching closely. Let's hope the virus doesn't make it to the Oval Office, because that would be terrible.

    If you're looking for someone to blame surely it would be the Chinese government who did nothing for weeks when they could have contained the spread to a very small area of their own country? And who did nothing to stop people selling and eating horseshoe bats which were known for more than a decade to be the source of viruses like Corona.

    No country in the world was prepared despite a major corona outbreak from horseshoe bats being predicted by medical scientists at least 13 years ago.

    Not a defence of Trump as clearly he's a nutcase. But let's have some realistic perspective that's not clouded by partisan politics.

    Also have you not noticed that anytime the US elects a Republican president you get people shouting that it's the end of the world? Reagan, Bush Snr, Bush Jnr. And yet we're still here.The last Republican President who was elected without such hysteria was Nixon - and look how that turned out.

    I know, it should have been fixed years ago. But I think it's his hands that bother me the most, they're far too small for his body.

    I once worked for a company that appointed a new CEO to get them out of the shit, a huge Glaswegian thug freshly graduated from the Barlinnie Charm School, and he had teeny-tiny hands. And he was a right bastard.
