Good article:

Good article: What if Trump is actually a master of empathy? How (people like) Trump exploit fear/anxiety in their audience (electors, employees etc.) & can manipulate them to believe stuff that is obviously, provably untrue. Trump isn't stupid, he knows what he's doing, he's good at it. See also: Brexit Leave Campaign. Also of interest: Trump's 'paucity of words' Next month a book is coming out in the US called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. It's been written by 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health experts who have got together to assess President Trump's mental health.
