He seems to have backed off waterboarding, baked off loosening libel laws to sue the press, and was complimenting Obama again (this after Obama was bashing him overseas). These things are from the NYT meeting, so I hope they provide a transcript for full context. I want to see that because the NYTs is not trustworthy. He hasn’t even been sworn into office yet, so I’m going to hold my fire because I want to see how he governs.
Rush has a theory on this. After meeting with Obama, Trump had a strange look on his face, like some huge secrets were revealed that he had no knowledge of.
Remember, this was their first meeting and Trump, like the rest of us, suffers from normalcy bias. He is very very good at sizing up people. Rush's theory is that Trump judged Obama to be a sociopath/psychopath at that meeting. Realizing that Obama still holds the levers of power Trump has been very careful in handling the president, better to let sleeping sociopaths lie.
Here are some symptoms of a sociopath:
•Glibness and Superficial Charm
•Manipulative and Conning
•Grandiose Sense of Self
•Pathological Lying
•Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
•Callousness/Lack of Empathy
•Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Do you think any of these fit the president?
