Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist with firsthand knowledge of her Uncle, Donald, captures the essence of the mental disorder of the very rich in the title of her book: Too Much and Never Enough. She chronicles how Donald Trump, to avoid the abuse his brother received at the hands of racist Fred Trump, the father, whom Mary Trump describes as a sociopath, adopts the sociopathic traits of his father. He lives with the idea that to lose is to be a failure and unworthy of love, which explains why even when it is clear he has lost, he cannot admit it. It is how he copes with failure, by blaming others for cheating to claim victory.
Musk, like Trump, had a domineering father who was abusive and who belittled him for any failures: "In interviews with Walter Isaacson for his biography of Elon, the tech mogul said that, before he left South Africa for Canada in the 1980s, his father predicted that he would be back in a few months because he would “never be successful.” Elon has said that his father "went a little crazy."
We see a similar obsession with success, of the concept that if one fails, one is unworthy of love or respect, and so develops an ego that cannot live with anything but great success, which explains why Elon Musk has invented a narrative to claim he founded Paypal, Tesla, etc, when in fact he did not but invested in them and then, by hook and crook, took over.
The mental derangement in which there is never enough explains many wealthy men (with a few rare exceptions), for this is a tormented soul seeking assurance of love and respect but fearing that it can only be gained by seizing more and more, and yet knowing that the very wealthy can never be sure they are loved or admired, because of the possibility it is their wealth that is the real attraction. And so we see in such men a history of failed marriages and relationships.....tainted with cheating and betrayal, for one of the ways to prove one's worth is by conquering many women, even to the point of rape, as with convicted rapist Trump.
And this brings me to the term that best describes this mental monstrosity which is variously called psychopathology, malignant narcissism, greed, etc. The term I find most fitting is the word RAPACIOUS, which is the violent seizure we associate with greedy sociopaths, rapists, and military villains, seizing land, people, and attempting to top of their power by becoming master of the world, which we see in Musk becoming the richest man in the world (and thus the most loved...well, that romance is over)and Trump's tariff wars as an attempt to control the economy of the entire world, in an environment of seized wealth and power that is..............never enough.
So in the end, it is this inability to satisfy the inner demand which is a substitute for love and respect, the inability to fill the hollow space within with money, power, possessions, trophies of women and possessions.....for it is impossible to fill an empty soul, tho the illusion that more and more will satisfy the inner craving works tirelessly but with futiity to have enough: love, respect, and peace of mind. That is impossible for many of the rich, perhaps most.....because you cannot fill an endless inner vessel and so the attempt becomes a vicious cycle in which those on the periphery, as tho sucked into a black hole, which is a good description of the inner core of men like Trump and Musk, are replaced with others, who also are sucked into a hole so deep that it can never be filled but can never be denied.
I would call this mental disease, caused by a black hole where the soul should be, rapacity, or to use another term that comes to mind, callous apatheia, a cruel indifference to the suffering one causes, which reminds me of what Musk said about empathy being a disease and Trump
saying he 'couldn't care less' if auto prices rise because of tariffs. "
Trump was purchased by the Jewish shekel / USA gambling dollars thanks to the likes of Adelson, and big moneymakers like Musk and others of the same mind. But nobody ever adds in the ones that play it cool, avoid the front pages, the real money spinners, resident in Europe, the City of London, who attend the billionaire's club in Davos, whose money is in oil, real estate, investments, banks and precious metals and who have been around since year one, sponsoring world unrest when it suits them and holding politicians to account in all countries in so many ways.......but keeping their activities as low profile activities. Of course, living the grand life. Add to this…...
The similarlity between Trump and past Presidential puppets is that the haven't been highly intellectual human beings. In fact, quite the opposite as in 2025, evidenced whenever the current red-tie misfit chooses to put a sentence together. Right now, controlled tightly on the end of a short lead held by Israel, he is doing what he is told, therefore he is the perfect fit for the next step of the great plan.
Trump controls wars, industry, public opinion, media, a very large military who never ever seem to question any command from the White House, together with a sleepy population now seeing and accepting the daily actions of ICE, the militarised Mexican border forces, public servant reductions like never before, medical programs heading for a third world country standard and making all these changes now accepted as the new norm. How?
Media ownership. Media control. The truth is known to most but tailored to suit the masters.
Remember, they elected him. He is controlled by the world's most hated state, capable of making the USA their private domain and presiding over a predominantly apathetic population of 360 million people, yes, those who elected him.
Now if we can accept most of the above, dependent on one's exposure to the facts, occasionally evident, then the solution becomes clear with one small hiccough…...
All Western governments are having their own problems due to a move to seeing the emergence of nazism as being acceptable in 2025. I ask you to look at Starmer in the UK, Merz in Germany, and others and tell me I am wrong. Their disregard, or their lack of interest in showing the USA their concerns at these new Jewish led policies in the Middle East (and the USA) and all the other associated crimes, is totally overshadowed by their primary goal and that is the control and manipulation of their own people, well under way. Again, thanks to media control, not very evident in Europe as well, their rightwing objectives are not very clear. The armed support for Ukraine being objective #1. The continued expansion of NATO, always on the top of the list.
The USA is heading fast to 'end of empire'. The Europeans are trying desperately to fill that gap and to recover the power that the USA will lose, to try and recover the status they used to have before WWII.
Of course , the remaining white Westerners, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, will do whatever they are told to do. No change there..
So why are the Europeans and Western governments not occupied with Trumps plans (yes,I know...Israel's plans), because they are playing their own game which they consider is of more interest to them than ethnic cleansing, blackmailed MAGA leaders and wars and mineral supplies and Gaza oil and gas, Gaza tourism, and on.
Trump is in power because people, especially Democratic Party leaders, underestimate his area of genius, which is in propaganda, whether commercial or political. He learned political propaganda from reading Hitler's New Order: collected speeches. He also learn style, the defiant gesture, the exaggeration, the demonization to rile up a crowd and create a mass movement based not on goals but shared hatred.
His mastery of this kind of communication far dwarfs his intellectual shallowness in terms of persuasion and attracting followers. By focusing on this deficiencies instead of understand his great talents, his political opponents failed to find a way to undermine his rhetorical mastery of crowd control. It is easier to condemn than to understand, and that is why Trump is President today.
American citizens by the millions are out on the streets protesting and having an influence on Trump, who keeps backpedaling when he sees how robust the public opposition is. His power is crumbling due to both public pressure and judicial rejection of his autocratic moves.

CanI add an international comment to two, Dale.
We must all know the following by now........

It's called priorities!
