Former President Donald Trump has never claimed to have been diagnosed with any neurological or behavioral disorders.

Nevertheless, others have tried to do so on his behalf — diagnosing him as a narcissist and a number of other conditions that could explain his bizarre, boisterous and bumbling behavior.

And now some of Trump’s favorite extremists are getting in on the guessing game.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Infowars owner Alex Jones, right-wing conspiracy theorists who’ve publicly fawned over Trump for years, have recently characterized him as “autistic."

Carlson made his remarks Friday on right-wing podcast while questioning Trump's recent, outlandish claim that he could single-handedly end Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Unfuckingbelievable

[captain queeg]

1. Let the back pedaling commence

[wnylib]

10. What signs are there in his behavior?

[we can do it]

18. I might be a pumpkin pie.

[RockRaven]

3. Someone should put them on the spot and ask them what the characteristics of autism are...

And which ones TFG has.

But that will never happen. That's the benefit of your own show -- you control who you talk to, and can keep it safe and without challenge.

[spooky3]

4. Good point. I have a relative with autism. TFG's behavior

doesn’t fit any of the patterns I’m aware of.

[brewens]

5. Is that like one of those idiot savants but without the savant part? n/t

17. right! Just an idiot!

So... half I guess.

[nolabear]

6. Nope.

Trust me, I’m a professional. I also happen to have several relatives all along the spectrum. It’s a no.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Have you followed Mary Trump's observations of his many disorders?

[nolabear]

27. I have. I thing she's got him pretty well pegged.

[mopinko]

16. i have a son on the spectrum. hi functioning.

and he has a sense of right and wrong that is a rigid as any i have ever seen.
from what i know, it’s a common thing.

[nolabear]

25. It is. And right/wrong itself is a spectrum.

Rules can be comforting against the barrage that assaults the senses. Predictability is usually important, and change is hard. That’s why so many autistic people eat a limited range of foods and wear certain kinds of clothes. People see the social responses as being uncaring sometimes when it’s just the opposite. The input from us wild humans is hard to manage.

[leighbythesea2]

34. My

Stepson also. Rule follower, and worries endlessly about others unsafe behaviors or risky decisions.

[lindysalsagal]

21. I've taught autistic kids all over the spectrum. He's the opposite of autistic.

He's a narcissist and a sociopath. Autistic kids have their own limitations an coping mechanisms, but their social interactions are the main presenting symptom. the donald lives on interactions, and ignores law, history and reality.

[nolabear]

24. You're right. He's as malignant narcissist as I've ever seen

But he’s not on the spectrum. One of the best description of narcissists and narcissistic rage I’ve ever heard is that people are used as though they were objects or parts of the self. Not meeting that need and having autonomy that isn’t all about filling the narcissist’s need is, to them, like an arm not working or a chair refusing to be a chair.

There’s such a long and evolving autism spectrum, but sensory input issues are always a part of it. It’s in many ways the opposite, exquisite sensitivity and the need to protect one’s self from it.

[mopinko]

31. i'm trying to picture and aspie con man.

i cant. i just cant.

[rooboy]

8. Marjorie Taylor Greene says

"I didn't know he could paint"

[trusty elf]

13. ....

[niyad]

37. you nearly owed me a keyboard.

[Celerity]

38. ...

[pnwmom]

9. He is obviously a malignant narcissist, but I'm not saying that on his behalf.

It doesn't excuse him from anything. He is still responsible for his evil actions.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. There's no category for "Flaming Asshole" in DSM-5. nt

[Takket]

12. Ahh the old "pre-indictment possible defense trial balloon"

If that is the route they are planning to take then they must know an argument based on the facts is going nowhere.

[KS Toronado]

15. Exactly what I'm thinking

I'm autistic, I didn't know what money laundering even is, or how to start a coup, I was just doing what
Rudy told me to do. Long ways from being a stable genius. He's proving he's an idiot.

[mercuryblues]

32. My 1st thought.

They know trump is screwed and are trying to give trump an out. The problem is, trump is too narcissistic to even fake being anything but being the smartest person in the room.

[tinymontgomery]

19. Maybe Trump should sue them for deformation. n/t

[bif]

20. He'll think it means he's a great painter

No doubt.

[redwitch]

22. They meant to say asshole.

Seriously disturbed and desperate they are.

[LeftishBrit]

23. Almost certainly not.

Autistic people find it unusually difficult to understand false belief, and therefore to lie.

Trump finds it difficult to do anything else.

[Oneironaut]

26. As an autistic person, I find this offensive af.

Trump is not autistic. He is a narcissist with delusions of grandeur. His lack of social tact is because he doesn’t care about others, where as autistic people care but miss social cues. Trump is a bullying asshole with no empathy who uses his social power to dominate and humiliate others.

Not only is this offensive to autistic people like me, but, it’s ableist as fuck. Trump does have control and realizes he’s hurting others - he just enjoys it.

[nolabear]

28. Truth!

[Earth-shine]

29. he could single-handedly end Russia's war in Ukraine ...

Of course, Trump could, and he would. He would befriend Ukraine, and then hand it right to Vlad the Imp.

[EndlessWire]

30. I don't know how it is in other states

but, here in California being autistic won't get you squat in leniency. He's trying for the autistic vote? Or, planning for some kind of defense?

I think there is always a reason for what his sycophants say about him. Surely, Carlson is still dancing to his tune.

[peggysue2]

33. Sorry, but that's an insult to autistic people everywhere

When and where did Tucker get his medical degree or is he just exercising his troll behavior?

God, I'm sick/sickened of and by these people.

[Cha]

41. Exactly, PeggySue!..

As I said below.. I know dt is a Narcissistic EGOManiac!

[peggysue2]

43. Nailed it, Cha!

The man's an ignorant, malignant narcissist better known as an entitled asshole.

Carlson and his ilk probably think coming up with a medical diagnosis will somehow help The Donald avoid accountability while lessening their own participation/support in this corrupt, seditious affair.

How could they know? Poor guy couldn't help himself, yada, yada.

Liars, all of them!

[LeftishBrit]

45. Agree!

[oasis]

35. Both Tuck and Alex J. have psychology degrees

Don'tcha know.

[Kennah]

36. I have two diagnosed autistics at home, and a suspected third

They can be devious, and the youngest appears to be studying to be a hacker. But they aren't assholes.

[MrsCheaplaugh]

39. Only Idiots lacking one clue what autism is could call Trump that

Mind, I'm no psychologist. I didn't even play one on TV, or stay at a Holiday inn Express. But I will bet my left ear that if a qualified professional could ever properly examine Trump, they'd diagnose him as a psychopath. He clicks every box on Dr. Hare's checklist:

Glib, loquacious, often superficially charming or charismatic
Compulsive liar
Pathologically self-centred
Lacks empathy
Shallow emotions

Most of all, no conscience.

[Cha]

40. We know Fucker hates dt.. I

don't know about "autistic".

But, it's Obvious he's a Narcissistic EGO MANIAC.

"having an excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance.

Except he's too much of a Garbage machine to take care of his appearance.

[sarcasmo]

44. Trump has borrowed Harvey Weinstein's courtroom Walker, tennis balls included.

[allegorical oracle]

46. TFG's pure and simple EVIL. Nothing to do w/ autism. He's been evil since he was a kid and beat up

other kids in the neighborhood. Just plain mean, nothing else.
