Trump is a delusional unhinged sadist living in a phallocentric manosphere, by Hal M. Brown, MSW

 


A few days Trump said he wants to, choose one: 1) put Liz Cheney in front a firing squad or 2) have her go into battle with one rifle facing nine gun barrels. Even if you accept that the second is what he meant, unless you're Donald "Rambo" Trump going into batttle against those odds this is a death sentence. 

Here's what he said:

“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said of Cheney, following a tangent about his pardon in 2018 of Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, her father. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

It really doesn't matter whether he was calling for her to be executed by a nine man firing squad or, as he claimed, that he was trying to say she doesn't know what it's like go to war against nine rifle wielding soldiers, what he said was a violent sadistic proposal. When someone says things like this it means they are thinking things like this, and when they think things like this they generally have a fantasy to go along with it.

Who the hell enjoys violent fantasies like this? The answer is simple. These people are called sadists. They don't have to act on the thoughts and fantasies to be sadists. They may never inflict pain on others, but they enjoy seeing pain inflicted on others. Of course Trump has inflicted pain on others. Consider, for example, his having children put in cages and torn from their families.

Today we have another story which provides insight into who Trump is. This was top of the page on HUFFPOST:


The article describes what he said:

Former President Donald Trump used apparent technical issues during a Friday rally to toy with the idea of attacking people working the event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“You’ve got to be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?”

Who knows what Trump imagines he is capable of doing. Perhaps he's seen lots of movies when the hero takes down a dozen thugs with deadly kung fo moves.

The HUFFPOST article also reminds us of the following

Trump has a history of using such rhetoric at his rallies. He suggested that a protester could “get the hell knocked out of her” at an event in California last month.

In 2016, he told supporters in Iowa to “knock the crap” out of hecklers. Trump separately told a crowd in Nevada that year that he’d like to punch a protester “in the face.”

“You know what they used to do to a guy like that in a place like this?” he said. “They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.”

The guy pictured below thinks he is going backstage to single-hangedly knock the hell out of people backstage. Ask yourself whether this is merely a fantasy or delusional.

I think this is as delusional as the fantasies he has that he actually looks like the characters depicted on the digital images he sold. It is downright nutso that people actually paid for images which they could see and print at home for free. Why they did this is a subject which may well be studied by psychologists in the future.

I've been writing about Trump's psychopathology and his dangerous malignant narcissism since 2017. By now most readers of this blog know that this is a "psychological syndrome comprising a mix of narcissismantisocial behaviorsadism, and a paranoid outlook on life. Malignant narcissists are grandiose and always ready to raise hostility levels, which undermines the families and organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate."

Only in the past few weeks have I thought about Trump in more sociological terms. I have concluded that Trump resides in a phallocentric (see Wikipedia) manosphhere (see Wikipedia).

His obsession with Arnold Palmer's equipment is an example of his being phallocentric, but his talking about it in public shows he is unhinged. Consider the lack of judgement demonstrated by his telling this story. Any rational (not unhinged) politician would know would lead to negative blowback like articles like these.

It earned him this rebuke from Arnold Palmer's daughter:

Arnold Palmer’s daughter says Donald Trump disrespected her late father’s memory by fawning over the size of the champion golfer’s penis at a campaign rally over the weekend.

“Hackneyed anecdotes from the locker room … seemed disrespectful and inappropriate to me,” Peg Palmer Wears told ABC News on Monday, two days after the former president publicly suggested her father was well endowed. (from The Guardian)


Consider the title of this Poltico article.

It is mind-boggling to me that women not only would vote for this man but that some would wear t-shirts like this:


Going back to my title, I wish I could ask undecided voters considering voting for Trump whether they want a delusional unhinged sadist who is living in a phallocentric manosphere to be their president.

Afterthought:

As regular readers know I always write my blogs with MSNBC on and sometimes end up adding what is being said on a show into a blog. Just now on Ali Velshi's show they were talking about Trump being a bully. I'm worn out, I'm hungry and haven't had breakfast yet. I just want to put this online so I'll just add that in addition to everything else I wrote today, Trump is also a bully.

Update:

HUFFPOST now has a top of website new story  (in red) which again demonstrates his unhinged poor judgment:

Trump Mocks Black Greek Basketball Player Giannis Antetokounmpo's Heritage
