In reply to the discussion: Worst President In History [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)You are right that he should not be underestimated. Sociopaths are often like idiot savants- they have stupidity and blind spots, but they also have weird skills at manipulating others and promoting themselves. It is all about narcissism. Everything must be about them, reflect them. Their world view is warped and they know nothing but self promotion, but they are often highly skilled at that, since this is what they spend their entire life doing.
Trump has had a lifetime of experience in self-promotion, fraud, and cheating. He is basically doing what he has done all of his life, albeit now on a giant global stage with very high stakes. Trump is a liar and a cheat. He is certainly a con man. He needs to be stopped.
When I say he is the Worst President in History, I mean that he is not just corrupt (a number of Presidents have been). Trump is worse than corrupt- he is a mentally ill narcissist and is a threat to global and national security. There has never been a worse person in this office. Trump must be voted out in 2020.
