Trump is a Psychopath
Sheila Markin August 3, 2024

Trump is a psychopath based on a 20 point rating scale called the Hare scale which is used to assess people for that specific psychopathology. Just as he is referred to as a twice impeached, criminally indicted and now convicted former president, he should also be identified as a psychopath with a rating of 33 on a 40 point scale. Most normal people score around 4. Most convicted criminals score around 22.

PSYCHOPATHS
Psychopaths have brains that are fundamentally different at birth from other normal people. The deep structure of their brains are different and cannot be changed by being raised in a supportive home, for example, or by becoming religious or having an authoritarian parent who tries to force better behavior. These people are impulsive, remorseless, and have a drive to dominate, are unable to pay attention or follow through, get off on being mean, cruel and vengeful. They don’t care about others. No empathy. They are all about their own aggrandizement and power.
Trump’s personality traits are clear to everyone by now. We have seen him be self-centered, get triggered, be impulsive, be mean and lie as easily and almost as often as he breathes. We know he is driven to dominate others, not capable of collaboration. unable to handle complex problems, unable to follow through and is easily bored. We can all see this behavior for ourselves.
Many Americans laugh these things off and think that Trump is “just being Trump”. They think he is “mean funny”. They think he is choosing to act this way. I have heard Republicans who have voted for Trump in focus groups mention that they wish he would not be so impulsive or they wish he should stop being so chaotic or stop lying or stop being so heartless. They don’t realize this is part of his deep brain structure. They think he could act differently if he wanted to. Americans need to understand that this behavior is hardwired in his brain (nature) and not subject to change (nurture). He can’t help being who he is, in other words. More to the point, he can’t change to be a better person. Unfortunately, he can, he is and he will get even worse.
Snip...when it comes to being a psychopath, there is a way to assess and measure what that means because of the Hare rating scale.

What follows is an interview I did with Dr. Vince Greenwood, a psychologist, who is certified to make assessments using the Hare assessment scale. He did an assessment of Trump. In the interview below he explains the Hare scale and how Trump scores using that scale. He also talks about Trump’s handling of the pandemic to explain how a psychopath thinks about a crisis like that and how that thinking resulted in 1.1 million deaths in America.

Who are you and what is your background? Why should we trust that you know how to assess who is or is not a psychopath?
