A Psychological Study of Trump Worth Reading
2020-03-18
[AmericanThinker] "I esteem biography, as giving us what comes near to ourselves, what we can turn to use." ‐Samuel Johnson

Donald Trump inspires almost universal disapproval and scorn among wordsmith professionals in the mental health field. He has been the target of diagnoses ranging from "pathological narcissism" to "bipolar disorder" to "dementia."

At last we can be grateful among the torrent of books about the president for one that justifies what Dr. Johnson called the "epidemical conspiracy for the destruction of paper."

Sheldon Roth, M.D. has performed an important service, not just to history, but to the field of depth psychology. He has demonstrated ways in which it can illuminate the deep motivational wellsprings of a unique individual like Donald Trump. His psycho-biography, Psychologically Sound: The Mind of Donald J. Trump, makes real and clear the truth of Wordsworth's observation that "the child is father to the man."

#3  He [Scott Adams] also predicted that Trump's win would "punch a hole in reality" for half the country, whose sense of reality included certainty that Hillary Clinton would be president.

Oh boy, howdy. Trump's election kicked off massive TDS in this half of the country who's reality got punched.

Bill O'Reilly has an interesting book on Trump without the psychobabble, The United State of Trump: How the President Really Sees America.
