Let's see.."deranged, arrogant, narcissistic , megalomaniac, insulting, everything parents warn children not to be (uniquely monsterous).." should I go on? How over the top can you get? This blindness to the obsession and the need to breathe life into it at every given opportunity, (while completely denying that is what you are doing and then hiding behind other aspects of the topic at hand) is typical of the OMB afflicted. Or call it TDS if that rings a bell with you, in any case it's become beyond tiresome.

Trump’s behavior was so disturbing to the mental health community that in 2017 Yale psychiatrist, Dr. Bandy X. Lee authored a book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” subtitled, ‘Twenty-seven psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health experts argue that, in Mr. Trump’s case, their moral and civic “duty to warn” America supersedes professional neutrality’. The book became a New York Times bestseller. In an interview with Dr. Bandy Lee by Ralph Nader, Lee, remarking on Trump’s mental condition, made a point of stressing how disturbing it was that so many voters could like, let alone vote, for such an obviously deranged and arrogant man. “His madness is catching, too. From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond.” —Dr. Bandy X. Lee. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "shared psychosis" or "folie à millions" (madness by the millions) among followers, a phenomenon that has been well documented by renowned mental health experts such as Carl Jung and Erich Fromm. Symptoms are shared when a severely mentally-impaired person is placed in a position of influence and there is sustained exposure. The treatment is separation, after which most secondary persons will return to their baseline state, and takes care of the emotional part. It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his."

I'm delighted that you have a wisdom that's superior to the US mental health community and look forward to enjoying more of your "wisdom".

Oh, please. For every dozen Liberal Trump obsessed “professionals” there were a matching dozen Conservative Obama obsessed “professionals” that published endless articles about why Obama was a malignant narcissist and needed to be removed from office immediately. The difference is that the Obama obsessed “professionals” mercifully disappeared after Obama left office, where the OMB obsessed are still shoving their crap down everyone’s throats. And gloating about their own superiority in doing so..which is the really the key here, isn’t it?

I suggest you watch some Netflix movies, perhaps the "Rambo" series; they're exciting!
