Renowned Psychoanalyst: Trump 'Real American Nationalist' with 'Observable Love of His Country'
Breitbart ^ | 12/09/15 | Tony Lee

Posted on 12/09/2015 5:08:28 PM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

Stanley Renshon, "a practicing psychoanalyst who also has a Ph.D. in political science and teaches at the City University of New York Graduate Center," has written books that are, according to Smith, "a clockwork feature of American public life: fascinating and the product of serious intellectual labor."

Smith said he "needed a bit of expertise" about Trump, so he contacted Renshon, who—lo and behold—also "shares with Trump a skepticism about immigration."

"He appears to be a real American nationalist with an observable, if bombastic, love of his country," Renshon told Smith last week. "Obviously a love of country is inconsistent with real narcissism, where there is no room for love of anybody or anything but yourself." Renshon added regarding Trump, "I think he genuinely feels like the country is going to hell, and I think he genuinely feels he can do something about it."

The appeal of Trump that eludes his critics has always been his unabashed nationalism. Nationalism is a dirty word among the intellectualoids of today, but it strikes deep into the hearts of true Americans. That is why he doesn't need to be a doctrinaire conservative to win conservative votes. In times of existential crisis, nationalism trumps ideology.

Yes, but when did conservatives start trusting psychoanalysts?

Mr. “I’m not interested in ... posing or pursuing some notion of ‘American leadership’ or ‘America winning?”

"Nationalism is a dirty word among the intellectualoids of today"

It is the inverse of their holy sacraments of Diversity and Multiculturalism. That is why they are going nuts the last few days. It is the 3rd element of Savages Borders, Language & Culture. Trump has spoken on Borders and Language, this was his 1st swing at Culture. And boy was it ever by the way they are responding. It was a blow like the one Sonny Liston took about 14 seconds into a round many years ago....

That is pretty much my observation of Trump also. I couple my observations with firsthand stories about Trump’s generosity and kindness over the years which he never uses to promote himself.

> “Renshon added regarding Trump, “I think he genuinely feels like the country is going to hell, and I think he genuinely feels he can do something about it.””

An academic that gets it, and honest enough to admit it.

The Left has gone so insanely off the cliff that a Nationalist is all that’s needed to bring the truth into frame.

Democrats want you dead American. You can see it everywhere.

I have enough Irish in me to be impervious to psychoanalysis and enough blarney to know when someone seems to be making sense.
