Why does Donald Trump court nothing but chaos, self-destruction, and cruelty? What explains his murder-suicide of the United States of America through his tariff policy that has tanked the stock market, alienated allies, and spurred fears of a global recession? Why must this man of wealth, power, privilege, and whiteness need constant adulation and praise to the point that he lies about winning an election he lost and about inauguration crowd sizes? Why does he engage in a daily ritual of Festivus and whine incessantly as if he were a victim, despite being born on third base with a silver spoon in his mouth?
His youth, upbringing, and relationship with his “sociopath” father explain his supervillain origin story, according to his niece, Mary Trump, creator of Mary Trump Media and author of “The Good in Us” Substack, who is also a clinical psychologist. She refers to Donald as a “monster.” I refer to him as a criminal vulgarian with a gluttonous appetite who has left a trail of pain without any accountability, self-reflection, or concern for the well-being of others. Suppose you think this is all hyperbole; the man is golfing and hawking his Gold Card Visa for $5 million as Americans are fretting about the economy and lost jobs. In that case, he’s in Florida golfing and hawking his Gold Card Visa for $5 million.
In this Chai Talk, which we did as a Live Substack, Mary connects the dots and explains the pathology of the world’s most powerful and self-destructive man.
