Donald Trump: Sociopath?
- Thread starter Blackfin

Exactly. The guy lights off firestorms and puts his foot in his mouth so often it's amazing. Yet when the media just quotes him, all of a sudden the media is "against" him.
He was: http://www.salon.com/2011/04/28/donald_trump_discrimination_suit/
Also, Trump had never said before running for Pres that a judge was unfit to try a case because his parents were Mexican. And other such gems. It's as if he's trying to lose, with the things that come out of his mouth.
What Hillary did was accidentally leave classified information unsecured. Possibly indictable on technical grounds, but not much case for treason.
Here's something that happens believe it or not...
The practice of quoting out of context is an informal fallacy and a type of false attribution in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning.
The "alternative" crowd seem to think this may be by design; As in Hillary is such a weak candidate they somehow seeded Trump within the Republican party to ensure she'd win... Crazy I know; but impossible? Maybe not. lol
Not really that simple

But to be fair to Hillary, not as if she's any more of a snake than her peers; end of the day she was likely doing exactly what was expected of her.
The US needs a drastic change of policy that none of the above will bring. Expect more of the same regardless of who wins...
I won't debate that this happens, however in the case of quoting Trump it's not exactly occurring regularly – to the contrary putting his quotes in context often just digs the hole even deeper- what's said around the questionable statements is often batshit crazy.
And if posting memes not based on facts is your idea of political debate, well, you seem to be Trumps target audience.
Trump doesn't need to be quoted out of context to see how messed up he is.
Make no mistake, I don't care for Hilary Clinton, either. The Americans have a grim choice. But Hilary strikes me more as a do-nothing, while Trump's actions and words are much more likely to be destructive.
It's US foreign policy to arm Syrian rebels, arms which they may not be able to prevent from getting into the hands of ISIS. Does that make the whole US foreign service treasonous?
BTW no one was charged with treason for the Iran-Contra scandal. The scandal where the US sold weapons to a state sponsor of terrorism. But hey, unsecured server, lock her up!
It's the US policy to arm all sides and destabilize entire regions.. I think that's pretty clear to see these days. Why in the case of Syria? Could be resource related, but also keeps the **** lit off near mother Russia; always nice to keep your enemies on their toes no... either way keeps the war money flowing.
On Iran-Contra.. It's a bloddy shame. Forget what Congress and the people expect of you; better to ask for forgiveness than permission... Not like any of this is new hat. My take; they're all snakes.. which ftr, is exactly what I said in the last post.
Not only that but he normally double downs on those statements on later interviews, as for example on the topic of not supporting NATO allies if they were invaded. Also when he has backed down from a statement like the one about the Muslim mother of a dead soldier it was widely reported, his statement about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails which he later said he was being sarcastic was also widely reported.
Out ff Context? here is some context:
1. “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud"
Trump was determined to “expose” President Obama’s birthplace back in 2012, and even claimed to have sent investigators to Hawaii in the hopes of proving Obama wasn’t born in the United States.
2. “Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again – just watch. He can do much better!”
Clearly Donald is a Team Edward kind of guy…
3. “Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.”
Trump always has charming things to say about successful, prominent women - but he stooped particularly low with this comment about Huffington Post founder.
4. “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ***.”
Trump proves (again) that he views a woman's looks over anything else...
6. “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
Oh for goodness sake.
7. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.”
Just another casually racial slur, then...
8. “Our great African-American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore.”
Don’t worry, his racist outbursts aren't just directed at Mexico.
9. “If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.’”
Trump has infamously hated on Rosie O'Donnell, making crude, sexist and misogynistic remarks about her on multiple occasions.
10. “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
Because of course, no woman can resist Trump's charms. [Throws up on keyboard]
11. “One of they key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government.”
Well at least he's showing some self awareness.
13. “It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!”
Definitely not missing the point...
14. “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
Possibly (/definitely) one of the creepiest things we've ever heard...
15. “My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.”
Ew.
16. “I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.”
We're glad he's so concerned about the obesity crisis.
17. “I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful.”
Women aren't possessions, Donald. They can't belong to you.
18. “You’re disgusting.”
To put this into context, Donald Trump said this to the opposing lawyer during a court case when she asked for a medical break to pump breast milk for her three-month-old daughter.
19. "The point is, you can never be too greedy."
Campaign slogan = sorted.
20. “Sorry, there is no STAR on the stage tonight!”
In his Twitter liveblogging of the Democratic debate, Trump seemed to think he was watching a talent show rather than looking for the next POTUS.
21. "My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.”
We think Donald may be overestimating the power of Twitter.
22. "My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure; it's not your fault."
Don’t worry, we won’t.
23. “I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
What does that even mean?
24. “The other candidates — they went in, they didn’t know the air conditioning didn’t work. They sweated like dogs...How are they gonna beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.”
Because sweating = the inability to solve a political crisis. Gotcha.
25. "Look at those hands, are they small hands? And, [Republican rival Marco Rubio] referred to my hands: 'If they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee."
Along with the petition to keep him out of the UK, can we also campaign for Trump to stop talking about his penis?
26. "Thanks sweetie. That’s nice”
Said Donald in typically patronising style to a female 9/11 survivor. Inappropriate - and quite creepy.
27. "Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!"
Threatening your opponent's wife on Twitter? Stay classy, Don...
28. “I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-Eleven, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down”
Ah 7-Eleven, great convenience store, and def not to be confused with a national tragedy and symbol of global terrorism, eh Trump?
29. "The only card [Hillary Clinton] has is the woman's card. She's got nothing else to offer and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the woman's card, and the beautiful thing is, women don't like her."

Trump is just a highlighter on the US.
Clearly a large amount of the population agrees with him hence they support for him.
Of course it only makes sense that he feeds them what they want to hear and what is working for him.
Stop blaming Trump, he is 1 vote...look at the people voting for him.

Oh, sure, the fact that he has support from the general population is indicative of a much bigger underlying problem. If the general population was better educated, he would not have gotten this far. Is Trump going to fix the education system?
His statement about asking Russia to find the deleted emails was immediately sensationalized by the left media as "Trump asks Russia to HACK US GOVERNMENT" like c'mon, gimme a friggin break, what a load of BS. And which Muslim mother of a soldier? The wife of the guy who gave the speech at the DNC.. the guy who deleted his law firm website after the speech and the guy who puts sharia loony-bin law over any other written law
Oh god I love this so much... the panic in the establishment (both parties) is absolutely amazing, I get chills when I read about Trump. I'm so happy he's running.. it gives me warm fuzzy feelings.
@zx600
I'm no Don supporter, but what political context did any of that list provide? It just read like an angry Feminist blog; which I'm guessing it was (did not click the link ftr)
Also ftr, if he did in fact say he wouldn't support NATO (I'm not that up on what spills out of his mouth), well gee.. that may actually be a step for good. Tell me, why do we even have NATO? Is the UN not enough? .... Conveniently, when the UN refuses to support war, NATO seems good to go; imagine that

The US is NATO. They account for 72% of NATO defense expenditure. So of course the dog and pony show will go wherever they're told. And with friends like Turkey being part of the group, I'd disband that **** too.
