This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

- President Donald Trump a psychological profile of a
sociopathic man |
|
President Donald Trump, "The
Sociopath"
President Donald Trump has been called many things since
becoming the leader of the free world, and out of all the
labels placed on this man, sociopath might very well be the
most descriptive. During his campaign for president, and
certainly after assuming the office of the presidency, Trump
has been exhibiting behavior which is socially unacceptable,
and especially unbefitting a man in his position. It often
amazes me there is no requirement for the psychological
testing of a president, after all, this is an individual,
who on a whim, can initiate world war III, with the
utterance of only a few words. |
I am not a professional psychologist, and quite honestly,
not very well versed in the science of psychology at all,
but any rational thinking human being can easily see Trump
has a problem, or many for that matter, which are certainly
manifested in his behavior and in the way he is running this
country. I thought it might be interesting, if not fun, to
poke around a few sites, learn a little, and see if our
president is fit to hold office. After hours of research,
and even more time on analysis, I came to the conclusion
that President Donald Trump is a SOCIOPATH....explanation
follows. |

What are the characteristics of a
sociopath?
During my travels through the online world of psychology, I
discovered 12 personality traits which are considered
applicable to someone diagnosed as a sociopath. Out of these
12 traits, it comes as no surprise, that all them perfectly
fit our new president. This is of course my opinion, but
read the list and decide for yourself. Vladimir Putin has
been labeled as somewhere between a sociopath and a
psychopath....is it any wonder that Putin and Trump are best
pals. |

Side Note - By his own
admission, Donald Trump claims to have borderline OCD. Trump
calls shaking hands "one of the curses of American society"
and said, "I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my
hands, which I do as much as possible." It is also said that
he refuses to touch the 'G' (for 'ground floor') button in
elevators because too many other people touch it, leaving it
infested with germs. He also believes that teachers are
particularly germ filled people, and once said: "I'm going
to do everything in my power not to shake hands with
teachers." "They have 17,000 germs per square inch on their
desks. That's ten times the germ rate of other professions." |

Do the actions of the real world
Trump make him a sociopath?
Well it certainly is easy to sit behind a computer, search
for a bunch of adjectives, and hypothesize that someone is a
sociopath. It is an entirely different matter to find real
world examples of why Trump fits the definition of each
adjective, and why, with very little doubt, he could easily
be classified as a sociopath. |
- Charming
- Polite, friendly, and likable. No matter what
you think of "The Donald", you gotta admit this guy has
charm....in some strange form. Possibly a requirement in order to achieve the
level of fame Trump has acquired throughout his career
as a businessman and as a realty show owner and host. A
person doesn't necessarily need to be nice in order to
be considered charming, as is the case with Trump.
- Intelligent
- Having or showing intelligence, especially of a
high level. Again you don't rise to his level of
success without some semblance of intelligence. Gotta
give Trump at least the IQ level of a stalk of broccoli.
In business, he has shown enough savvy to put together a
business empire valued in the vicinity of four billion
dollars.
- Shamelessness
- Lacking any sense of shame. Simply take a
look at his first week as president to realize
shamelessness could be his middle name. His immigration
ban, which included holders of valid visas and green
cards, showed no regard, or feeling for that matter, for
the people whose lives he was tearing apart. Students
who could not return to their classes, skilled
professionals who could not resume their positions, and
family members who were forcefully separated from their
families.
- Narcissistic
- Having an excessive or erotic interest in oneself
and one's physical appearance. The photo ops, the
gestures, and what about that hair? This guy is the
poster child for narcissistic behavior. Trump is
obsessed with himself and his name, which he prominently
displays at every opportunity. Everything he does is on
a grandiose scale, always expecting attention and
adulation for his achievements.
- Manipulative
- Characterized by unscrupulous control of a
situation or person. Um, the unscrupulous control
of a situation or person? How about an entire country.
Trump was able to manipulate the minds of almost half
the American population, based on the popular vote
results, into thinking he was the best choice for
president of the United States. Once elected, he
continues to manipulate those same minds by making
strategic decisions to appease his supporters.
- Compulsive
Liar - Someone who lies out of habit.
Trump wouldn't know the truth even if it was standing
two feet in front of him. This particular trait
describes Donald perfectly. Saying he had proof that
former president Barack Obama was not an American
citizen, denying over and over any misconduct in his
business dealings, falsely alleging that illegal
immigrants voted in the presidential election thereby
skewing the popular vote results, and insisting more
people attended his inauguration than the number who
attended that of former president Obama, even though all
evidence pointed to the contrary.
- Immature
- Having or showing emotional or intellectual
development appropriate to someone younger. Can you
say much younger? Can you also say, I am the president
of the United States and use my Twitter account like a
first year high school student? For the leader of the
free world to be tweeting his emotionally laden thoughts
is not only ridiculous, it's absolutely dangerous. While
still the president elect, Trump tweeted the following
on December 22, 2016, "The United States must greatly
strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such
time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
Nothing like initiating an arms race on a whim and with
the press of the tweet button.
- Egotistical
- Excessively conceited or absorbed in oneself, or
self-centered. If Trump were to teach pronouns to a
group of ESL students, he would undoubtedly inform them
the only pronouns in the English language are ME,
MYSELF, AND I....oh yeah....and MINE. Simply look at the
way this guy takes center stage wherever he goes. Who
can forget the visit of the prime minister of the U.K.,
Theresa May, in January 2017, when she stood next to
Trump at a press conference and was almost completely
ignored while Trump stole the spotlight. And even better
was his treatment of his own wife, Melania, who on
Inauguration Day, was abandoned to fend for herself as
her self-centered husband walked out of the car, leaving
her behind to be assisted by former president Obama and
his wife Michelle. Trump is the ultimate loser.
- Umbrageous
- Inclined to take offense easily. I cannot
even count on the hands of all the members of congress,
the number of times someone "offended" Trump since the
beginning of his run for the presidency. His uncanny
ability to twist words, and distort meanings, led to
seemingly endless feuds with other politicians, and the media.
- Equanimous
- In full control of your faculties during a crisis.
This could also be described as cold, unfeeling,
insensitive....the list goes on. His apparent lack of
emotion could be problematic in terms of relations with
other countries. A certain amount of empathy is
required, as president, to solve problems equitably,
especially when they involve people from other religions
and cultures. Again, look at the immigration ban of
January 2017, when thousands of U.S. visitors were
displaced and stranded.
- Temperamental
- Gets angry easily, or changes from one mood to
another very quickly. This is a given. Simply watch
the presidential debates, any of his press conferences,
or read his endless stream of angry tweets. Trump lacks
any degree of self control, hardly a trait one wants in
their president.
- Aggressive
- Characterized by or tending toward unprovoked
offensives. Simply read about his past business
dealings at home and abroad, and see the way he forced
his will on whoever stood in his way in order to make
his ventures a success. I'm also wondering if the
infamous Trump tape of 2005 would qualify him as
aggressive....hmmmm you think? "I moved on her like a
bitch, but I couldn't get there, and she was married.
Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big
phony tits and everything." "I'm automatically attracted
to beautiful [women] - I just start kissing them. It's
like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when
you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything
... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

In Conclusion
Again, I am no psychologist, but I must say, the evidence
that Donald Trump is a sociopath is pretty compelling, to
say the least. I guess the real point of concern is what
does this say about his supporters? The phrases "birds of a
feather flock together" and "great minds think alike" come
to mind to describe a very scary contingent of Trump
supporters who could not see through his shady sales pitches
and deceptive promises. For all of you who think Trump is
the problem, you're wrong. Trump is simply a symptom of an
infectious virus sweeping America called paranoid xenophobic
delusional racism. A virus which his supporters don't even
realize they have, and even if they did, would no doubt see
it as a problem that doesn't require their attention. Until
the attitudes of his supporters change....good luck with
that....the prospects of "Making America Great Again" seem
slim at best. |
