The quintessence of evil. They all have some version of Trump’s disorder.

April 1, 2025 A must read that goes beyond a normal aging brain, physical and behavioral deterioration. https://mindsitenews.org/2025/04/01/sanewashed-trump-dementia-and-mental-illness/

Interviewer: Could you explain what you mean by Trump’s personality disorder? I know you have said for some time that the mental disorder he suffers from is called malignant narcissism. People with the disorder are usually characterized by entitlement, manipulation, grandiosity, pathological lying, the absence of empathy and conscience, and sadism. The latter of which results in a sadistic psychopath. I believe that Erich Fromm called malignant narcissism the quintessence of evil.

Gartner: That’s exactly what he said. It is probably one of the only psychiatric diagnoses we have that really defines the theology category of evil.

We have a real Trump problem, because we now have a whole government that is populated by people who have some version of his personality disorder.

He has the Project 2025 team behind him, led by Russell Voight. And he’s got Elon Musk, who is a mental health study in and of himself. Musk is on the spectrum; like Trump, he is hypomanic, and like Trump, he is clearly also a sociopath. He feels no remorse in inflicting pain on people; in fact, he feels a sense of glee and mastery in doing it.

Interviewer: I watched a chilling interview clip with Andrew Tate in a program on YouTube – we’ll put a trigger warning on this interview – raging about his fury at young women who crossed him. Among other things, Tate said, “This is what I learned at pimp school…. just bring out the machete, and boom! Why do you think Trump officials intervened on behalf of Tate and his brother?

Gartner: Many major Trump supporters are sexual predators. Trump is a convicted sexual predator; Hegseth is an [alleged] sexual predator; Kavanaugh an [alleged] sexual predator. We keep hearing about another Republican congressman or big contributor who is a sexual predator. It’s incredible.

Interviewer: I wondered what you thought, from a psychological point of view, about Trump’s video of a dystopian Gaza made over in his own image. In it there were no visible Palestinians but a Qatar-like vibe, a lot of vulgar giant golden statues of Trump, bearded men belly dancing and small children on a beach rushing to catch dollars tossed out to them by Elon Musk.

Gartner: Well, we have to remember that malignant narcissists are sadists. They revel in being destructive, humiliating, insulting, degrading, laughing at other people’s pain and humiliation.

They’re basically terrifying the world right now. Everyone is afraid of losing their job and their 401-K going down or what’s going to happen to the world order. Or whether they or someone they love is going to be deported. And the thing is, malignant narcissists thrive on that fear. They love that fear. It gives them a rush, a dopamine rush, to be destructive.

There’s a phrase for that: Omnipotent destructiveness. It’s feeling powerful in an excited way because you’re destroying things or people or institutions. So there is this glee, a sadistic, almost satanic glee they’re taking in all of the harm and uncertainty and chaos and fear they’re generating.

Interviewer: Do you feel that the mainstream press has been sane-washing Donald Trump?

Gartner: Yes, the press has sanewashed Trump; they really have. This is another thing that has been so frustrating. Sane-washing is a great term: It’s normalizing the abnormal. Things that are crazy and destructive and not normal, if you homogenize it enough then people can accommodate to it. Suddenly that becomes the new normal.

The press really ignored the signs of Trump’s dementia and his mental illness, and we had so much trouble getting the mainstream media to even report on this as a question! But they kept hammering on the issue of age with Biden, and Trump was and is so much more cognitively impaired, mentally and psychiatrically.
