Donald Trump is a “puppet” to psychopathic traits that are likely to become even more dangerous if Republicans suffer a bruising defeat in next month’s midterm elections, a leading clinical psychologist has warned.
Dr. Vincent Greenwood, director of the Washington Center for Cognitive Therapy, also believes the president’s danger is underestimated and warrants invoking the 25th Amendment.

Doesn’t matter to Republicans though – foreign (Xi, Bibi, Putin) and domestic (Musk, Thiel, etc.) – that just makes him easier to control.
This is all about every benefactor who contributed to Trump’s dodging of prison and reelection getting their payout in one form or another.
And why do blue-collar maga not care, you ask? Well decades of undermining education, increasing their work hours, distracting them with bullshit and sports and identity issues and drugs and the giant propaganda speakers of billions of dollars of money (again foreign and domestic) means it’s very… Very hard for these people to unplug themselves from The Matrix and to see reality for what it is. Trump said, “I love the poorly educated” and “Smart people don’t like me” for a reason of course.
Please, for the love of God, just say “authoritarians” or something. It’s bad enough how much the two party system dominates American politics, culture, and ideology, but trying to impose those stupid categories all around the globe is just childish.
They did it that way because it’s a commentary on the oath as the Commander-in-Chief of the US armed forces to defend the US from enemies both foreign and domestic. They’re making a case that our President is in league with the enemy. He’s violating the oath to uphold the Constituion and do his job correctly.
Yes, they are authoritarian. That wasn’t the point of their post though, at least as I read it.
Then call them “enemies.”
“Republican” already has a meaning outside of the US, it refers to anti-monarchy movements, for example, the Irish Republican Army.
Netanyahu is part of the Likud Party, Putin is in United Russia, Xi is in the Communist Party of China. None of them are “foreign Republicans.” Each of those parties has it’s own beliefs and stances, emerging from the historical and cultural context of their respective countries. Imposing the shitty US-centered framework of politics is reductive, ignorant, lazy, and chauvanistic.
