"A Deeper Dive Into The Donald:
The King's Megalomania is Nearing its Imperial Zenith'
by David Haggith
Excerpt: "I read some interesting observations this weekend from a former psychologist at Johns Hopkins University who said that Trump’s psychosis (beyond mere dementia) has reached a stage he describes as “magical thinking.” This is particularly dangerous when narcissism, now running reckless under dementia, reaches the level of megalomania in a person who actually has near absolute power in human terms. (Tell me Trump doesn’t fit every word of the definition provided at that link!) Reaching this level in his narcissism puts Trump in the same dangerous sphere as other supreme evil emperors, such as Nero, Caligula, and Kim Jung Un, who deified themselves, now that Trump is almost daily trying to do the same thing.
Trump clearly sees himself as a global emperor as the talks incessantly about taking over Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and Cuba and flaunts a map that shows Mexico and all of Central America as being part of a single American nation or empire) that he will bring about, and he clearly envies the adoration and worship that he sees Jesus getting from the “Christians” who are in his closest ring of support, which includes the false prophets who feed his megalomania/delusions of grandeur by telling him over and over how much like Jesus he is and how chosen by God.
His megalomania has finally become so painfully obvious that, even several of his loudest and most popular (and often obnoxious) supporters are now insisting he be “Twenty-fifthed” before he causes serious damage to the US and the world. (We’ll come to those below.) The Donald’s mad behavior has finally grown so outrageous that many of those with actual Trump Derangement Syndrome can no longer avoid seeing his derangement. (A syndrome where those who go along with the president in his deranged beliefs about his greatness accuse everyone who sees clearly that the Donald is as deranged as a mad duck is accused of being deranged for recognizing something long obvious that they simply don’t WANT to see.)
I’ll let the professor of psychology explain how the Deranged Don’s behavior has culminated in such a crisis that even his strongest supporters are finally pressed to admit Donald is one mad duck: "President Donald Trump has crossed from grandiosity into full-blown psychosis, psychologist Dr. John Gartner has warned. Gartner, a former professor at Johns Hopkins University, told The Daily Beast Podcast that the 79-year-old president is engaged in “magical thinking….”
“It’s something that, again, we associate with psychosis. We also associate it with young children. Freud called it ‘primary process.’ It’s kind of the most primitive type of thinking, where if you imagine it, it must be true. But this is just magical thinking. Anything that occurs to him - any stray, crazy thought - is true.”
Gartner, who said a few weeks ago that Trump’s mental “deterioration” was accelerating, then mentioned several of Trump’s fanciful social media posts: his since-removed depiction of himself as Jesus Christ, his mock-up as the pope, and his Truth Social post calling himself the “acting president of Venezuela.” “His grandiosity is so extreme that not only does he want to be the pope and Jesus and the president of Venezuela and the Mullah of Iran - he wants to be all of these things at once. He wants the world to worship him, and he wants to erect massive monuments to praise himself,” he said.
King Donald needs for the Trump ballroom to be the biggest and grandest and most powerfully situated ever. He needs the Arc de Trump to be bigger than the Arc de Triomphe and other magnificent arches celebrating historic victories so it is able to be seen all the way down the Mall from the Capitol. He can’t stand that other emperors had arches and he doesn’t; so, he’ll see to it that he does. He’s always had to put his name in huge letters on almost everything he does. He needs to sign the dollar bill and stimulus checks so his name gets the credit for as much of the money that goes into the hands of the masses as possible so he will earn their adoration with other people’s money. He starts “Trump” accounts with free money for kids so they’ll grow up feeling thankful for all he has given them. Everything he does is a huge upward spiraling circle of praise to him. And now he’s reached the level of aspiring to be worshipped as a deity… even as Jesus, but he hasn’t been able to pull that off… yet. (Or I’m wrong, and he really just wants to be a doctor dressed in ancient Roman garb who heals with orbs of light and has a halo of golden light fringing his golden hair.)
Just a little segue: Many people became interested in how the AI imagined Trump’s Jesus image, putting something in there of which, perhaps, Trump was not aware. In the light that the lines of perspective follow into the background behind Orange Jesus (or the “Great Pumpkin,” as I like to call him now that he’s totally bat-guano insane, as his biggest have supporters agreed over the past week or two) is an image of a demonic entity that stands behind him. Usually the silhouettes in the light behind a glorified person represent the entity that sent him or show what is coming along in his wake. So, think about that for fun!"
