We predict when the damage assessment is complete, Trump’s espionage will prove to be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history. A GRIFTING NARCISSIST - IT'S ALL HE IS! We will discover he's passed secrets to Russians and Saudis for years. Others, too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that there's now a couple million entranced Americans, who are not yet ready to fully confront their cognitive dissonance, but they are starting to pace nervously. They don't see Trump's full-on pathology yet, or even how anti-democratic…

About 40 min's ago, the Trump trial pivoted to the Sandoval notice - the DA started listing many damning cases against Trump they argue should be admissible if he should testify. It's both a horrific and hilarious list. Horrific in who and what Trump is; hilarious in imagining…

There are a couple of behavioral metrics I use when Trump speaks - I'm not attaching any scientific significance to them, but they are interesting observationally because Trump is so transparent. One of them, is how hard he leans on the Big Lie. The more he does, the more…

LATER TODAY ... Later today, a narcissistically famished Trump will speak at Grand Rapids, MI and Green Bay, WI. These rallies come two days after his 77-post freakout, and one day after taking a $1B hit on his Truth Social scam - then learning there's an expanded gag order in…

@rhallnj He was masterful at this last night, because he did it repetitively and tirelessly. Kudos must also go to his staff for its preparation and anticipation.

@gtconway3d @ejeancarroll @CNBC @SquawkCNBC Trump's behavior, though shocking, doesn't shock me anymore. As extreme and aberrant as his pathology is, I feel I understand it. What DOES shock me, over and over again, is how much of his problems are self-created. Lack of impulse control. Cannot let anything go - large OR…

@gtconway3d Yes, it is illuminating. TrumpISM is an incoherent ideology. Demonization of the other side and addiction to dopamine release. Add cognitive dissonance, plus elements of anti-intellectualism, religiosity, grievance, persecution, and chaos - powerfully and persistently amplified.

TRUMP SUPPORTERS: We know you're uncomfortable. Things don't add up. You're conflicted. What you feel is COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. We'll be straight with you: He was never a billionaire. He is a conman. The Apprentice was A TV SHOW. You feel uncomfortable because you've been played.

Trump is in Grand Rapids. It's not a rally, it's just a press conference. He's reading off a sheet of paper. That's something he can still do. It's the usual anti-immigrant plunder and rape speech, as told by someone who has plundered New York for years, and most recently the…

I'm expecting a particularly desperate and demented Trump at his rally today in NC. Not only has he been narcissistically pulverized, and humiliated, this past week in NYC, but NEXT week for him will be WORSE. On Monday, his criminal trial begins with Opening Arguments - we'll…

@gtconway3d I agree. Moreover, you could replace the word lawyer with "psychologist" and the words "engaged in an effort to overthrow the government" with "is pathologically aberrant and wholly unfit to serve" and get the same 90%+.

This morning on Fox, Lindsey Graham gave credit for the House passing Ukraine aid to Donald Trump. Translation: The photos Trump has of Lindsey, are really bad.

Psychopathologies as aberrant as Trump's are neither controllable nor curable. He cannot pivot, sit still, shut up, or stop. EVER. He cannot see beyond himself. He has no empathy, no shame, no contrition. Pure id. Pure "self." You couldn't build a worse person in a laboratory.
