                               Amigo leitor, como vai o seu Inglês?

          Why is President Donald Trump  behaving in ways that seem ever more irrational, impulsive, self-destructive, dangerous and cruel? Many Americans have been shocked by Trump’s behavior, most recently by his taking the side of a known enemy in Vladimir Putin and Russia over his own intelligence community.

   I think isn’t possible to realibly diagnose any individual from a distance, but is reasonable to flag clear, observable signs of impairment and to make inferences based on repetitive patterns of behavior. There’s a significant difference between diagnosing a specific disorder and analyzing the meaning of the qualities.

   Trump exhibits, such as paranoia, grandiosity, lack of empathy and pathological deceit. Trump behavior, I believe, is the predictable outgrowth of this psychological disposition, exacerbated by the stress of the intensifying criminal investigations he faces.  My assessment is based on descriptions from those who have worked with him, his own voluminous answers to real situations in real time, and above all by our unique vantage points.

You see, my dear reader, Trump’s  growing paranoia is reflected in the comments he has made about his enemy essentially the news media and the immigrants. I read every morning about the problems of that President with Democrats and Republicans. You know, it’s all a dog carrier. Of course, I don’t mean to yours well behaved small dogs.

Trump’s increasing grandiosity is evident in the superlatives he refers to himself (like the mesoclases of Temer). No person or circumstance can possibly satisfy his needs, nearly everyone in his life eventually becomes expendable, and he becomes more and more isolated. His hunger for absolute power’s evident in his bizarrely admiring words about despots . Hid frequent lies reveal his need to redefine reality when the truth doesn’t serve his need.

Trump’s psychological disposition has profound implications for our security. Through Band’s work interviewing men who was mostly deprived in childwood of the love and support  necessary to develop principles, humanities. In Trump’s case, his need to demonstrate over and  over that he’s admired around the world by everybody raises him the inability to have a focus in something else. We can expect him to become more desperate, more violent and destructive in his actions. His latest extreme threat to Iran is one exemple. Kim Jong Un is making him look weak and unsuccessful.

 And you, what do you think about this? You agree with me?
