Since Trump came to power, our world has been in chaos. It is difficult to make sense of this. His motivations are not easy to understand. His behavior is an indication that he is not mentally healthy. A group of psychiatrists compared him to his behavior during his first term and concluded that he is showing signs of dementia like his father got.
He gave an interview to The Atlantic with Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, who was in the secret chat group where an attack on Yemen was discussed. In this interview, Trump says: “This time I am fighting to help the world and the country.” In psychiatry, this is called the messiah syndrome. That is why he wanted to become pope. He lacks a sense of reality.
But this observation does not solve anything. It does raise the question of who is really pulling the strings. To do this, it is necessary to give him compliments that confirm his messiah delusion. Then you can give him suggestions about what else he can do as a messiah.
He has an organization behind him that makes you shudder. They have produced a book of no less than 920 pages with a lot of capitalization.
A lot of thought has been put into this book. We are running up against that.
A friend of mine is an emeritus professor of economics. He was shocked by the ideas of the makers.
With this knowledge, it is important to look at who the vice president is and what we know about him. It is about J.D. Vance. In an email from Heather Cox Richardson I read the following: Senate candidate J.D. Vance (in 2021) said that the American right "We've lost every major, powerful institution in the country, except perhaps churches and religious institutions, which of course are weaker now than they've ever been. We've lost business. We've lost finance. We've lost culture. We've lost academia. And if we're really going to bring about real change in the country, we're going to have to completely replace the existing ruling class with another ruling class... I don't think we're going to compromise with the people who are actually running the country right now. Unless we overthrow them somehow, we're going to keep losing." "We've got to be really ruthless in the exercise of power," he said. That same year, Vance told the National Conservatism Conference that "we've got to attack the universities in this country honestly and aggressively." "We live in a world made effective by academic knowledge" and to rebuild the nation along the lines of white Christian nationalism, the universities have to be destroyed. Vance told the audience, "The professors are the enemy." I explain this as a deep-rooted fear of not being able to exercise power. This results in a lack of trust in people who think differently. Deep down, this is a lack of self-confidence. Self-confidence made it possible to look at yourself critically without becoming depressed. You can accept your own shortcomings and therefore also those of others. A healing step is to forgive each other. In this way you can form a community. It is a careful process in which you dare to think independently. Accept yourself as a good person with your shortcomings. Because that is human. Whoever pretends to be without shortcomings is a danger to other people.
