If you think something Trump has exhibited his entire life is somehow down to dementia now... I honestly don’t know what to say to that, other than it is a ridiculous assertion to imply Biden would have handled the situation in the same way, even with his degrading cognitive abilities.One of the symptoms of dementia is lack of emotion or empathy.

A non-psychopath handles that situation differently.
It really is amazing that you continue to in practice defend Trump and try to make the Democratic candidates out to be the same as him.

He’s clearly a sociopath. Not even open for debate. He’s also significantly unhinged in my view.
He’s dangerous imo. He makes me nervous.

I prefer to refer to Trump as a sociopath because it fit him better.

Although there are no official clinical definitions of psychopath and sociopath (they are not official diagnostic conditions), I have discussed this very thing with several people that I know that work in mental health field over the last few years, including my aunt who is a long-practising child psychologist, and have generally come to the conclusion that he is a psychopath (I originally thought he was more on the sociopath side).I prefer to refer to Trump as a sociopath because it fit him better.
The difference between the two is generally down to severity, with sociopaths often actually aware on some level they are doing wrong, whilst psychopaths are not really aware they are doing wrong (even if they may “pretend” to know). This passage from WebMD on the subject sums that nuance up fairly well:
“A key difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is whether he has a conscience, the little voice inside that lets us know when we’re doing something wrong, says L. Michael Tompkins, EdD. He's a psychologist at the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center.
A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to. He may observe others and then act the way they do so he’s not “found out,” Tompkins says.
A sociopath typically has a conscience, but it’s weak. He may know that taking your money is wrong, and he might feel some guilt or remorse, but that won’t stop his behavior.
Both lack empathy, the ability to stand in someone else’s shoes and understand how they feel. But a psychopath has less regard for others, says Aaron Kipnis, PhD, author of The Midas Complex. Someone with this personality type sees others as objects he can use for his own benefit.”

For me (and many others, to be fair), Trump is firmly on the more severe side of the continuum, and I think he actually doesn’t have remorse or caring for the consequences of his actions apart from how they impact him. Other people are a means to an end. He has no empathy at all (not just a “weak” sense of it) and cannot see the plight of others beyond how it could be used to serve his goals. Any concern or regard he shows is entirely fabricated based on years of seeing how others react to certain situations and then mimicking those reactions.
But as his cognitive functions continue to degrade, that mimicry is becoming more and more difficult for him to execute, thus he is appearing more and more callous and inhumane with his behaviour, when really it is just revealing who he has been for all of his adult life.
He obviously can’t be completely blamed for being a psychopath — his upbringing undoubtedly contributed to it. But, unfortunately, I very much believe he is one and, as we have all said, it is incredibly dangerous for America and the world.
I never expressed an opinion on why trump.acted the way he did.If you think something Trump has exhibited his entire life is somehow down to dementia now...
Rather I expressed an opinion on the likelihood the in coming President would. Seeing as your question/jibe was that yet some think "Biden would have done the same."honestly don’t know what to say to that, other than it is a ridiculous assertion to imply Biden would have handled the situation in the same way, even with his degrading cognitive abilities.

My response simply explored what Biden might have done. And it turns out Biden might have very well done similarly.
And for the record, in not defending Trump. U just don't think he is unique or special. You and a few others do and think everyone should bow to your views or be shunned.
It's stunning how you all are able to determine Sociopathy and Psychopathy from the comforts of you Living Rooms but think the crazy people are those who aren't all on board.
Seriously, miss me with that nonsense.
