The things he says rarely seem to align with reality, he plays whatever part he needs to be to get the right reaction from people, he only seems vested in his own interest. I honestly think the man is a true-to-form sociopath. This isn't a question of his politics, or of the left-vs-right or Republican-vs-Democrat views and political debates; this is an altogether separate question, completely detached from political views or stances.
Is this one man in particular a sociopath? I'm pretty sure he is.
(It did make me laugh, though, that he thinks being in a military school from 8-12th grade is more military training than actual serving military members.)
Edit: It's been pointed out to me that he more-closely exhibits narcissism. I'm inclined to agree.

Wow! This question demonstrates better than anything else I've heard just how desperate the left really is. Donald Trump is obviously no "sociopath". He does not exhibit "extreme antisocial behavior". There is no evidence whatsoever that he "lacks a conscience". This is the use of "sociopath" as a pejorative. Shame one the author and shame on all who repeat it. Let's debate our different ideologies with respect and candor. Let's not attack others simply because we can't think of something intelligent to say. At the very least, let's just agree to disagree if the ideological abyss that separates us is unbridgeable.

The only one of those that doesn't apply directly to Donald Trump is speaking poetically.

MAJ Jim Steven - and LCDR (Join to see) Sorry, I've been away from this discussion for a while and didn't have the courtesy to respond to your complaints against me. I do believe that I was responding to the content of the article of which neither of you are the author. It seems you misread my comment. I said "Shame on the author..." I would beg your forgiveness but I'm not sure of what I should be forgiven. Please, if you figure it out, forgive me.

Is he too mean to be POTUS? Is he not nice enough to be POTUS? Its time get someone who is strong into the POTUS position. What time did a CSM ask before he or she put a MSG into a 1SG's position, "so are you a nice person". Leadership is leadership. Being nice and saying nice things gets no where. The position of POTUS is not a level entry job from something small or from something that someone really was good at and now they become POTUS. I don't care if anyone likes Trump. Like many 1SGs and CSMs said, their leadership is not a "likership". Why would you want a leader you liked as a person if he or she was going to do a terrible job as a leader. The best leaders I have ever had I did not like one bit but my loyalty, trust, and respect was won through their actions as a leader. We need a POTUS who will put a foot into the rear and of Russia, Iran, China, ISIL and anyone else who wants to do things the wrong way. We are a world leader and we didn't get there in the past by being nice.

COL Ted Mc
SSG (ret) William Martin - Staff; I agree that the Presidency SHOULD NOT be an "entry level job" - but that is almost what it has become.
NEITHER party want's a "Chief Executive" who is going to ADMINISTER the laws of the United States of America but BOTH parties want one who is going to do what they are told to do (by their own party, of course)

COL, I agree. When the republican party has a potential candidate like Trump who obviously is favored over any other candidate, and some in the GOP would rather lose the presidential race than see him in the White House, it is obvious that the game is about control and power rather than the will of their constituents. Both parties are afraid of an alpha male that they can't control.

COL Ted Mc
SSG (Join to see) - Staff; That is simply the flip-side of the feeling of some politicians that it is better to destroy the country and rule over the destruction than it is to allow the country to grow and prosper under the other party.

PO1 Kerry French
SSG (Join to see) - It's more about the fact that he is NOT a Republican and does NOT NOT NOT reflect Republican values. He is a NY liberal and most of us (about 65%) Republicans are mortified that he is the only candidate with an active campaign. I'm a delegate and absolutely embarrassed at his behavior.

I still think he is a plant to prove just how twisted we as a nation have become... again. But that is tin-foil hat speculation to protect me from thinking he's actually serious and that real people believe he's a good person. I desperately want to have more faith in humanity than that.

I would be careful with my words Chief. We serve under one president but belong to different parties. Check out you supervisor. He may be of an opposing party and " not all for one and one for all" Just saying
