Frankly, I don’t think it is productive to be all tippy toe around sociopathy. I’d say that while it is wrong to tar people with mental illness with the same brush it is also wrong to ignore the negative impact sociopaths have on society by declaring their issues to be things we can’t talk frankly about because of sensitivity to people with mental illness. Sociopathy is something I think we shouldn’t get PC over, rather it’s something I think we should address head on. It is not like other forms of mental illness and we do society no favors by sweeping it under the rug. It isn’t enough to call out Trump’s behaviors in isolation, rather we need to see the larger picture, that they all form a nexus that is is consistent with sociopathy and clinical narcissism. Why? Because that means this behavior is not an aberration, it is who Donald Trump is at his very core. That is the key to why he is so dangerous.
