To ALL Trump supporters: For all of you who are not knowledgeable about human psychological development, let me give you a word of warning based on the research and writings of 3 leading experts in the field: Erikson on personality development, David Kohlberg on moral development, and Jean Piaget on cognitive or intellectual development. You can look up their work on your own.

Donald Trump is a pitiful, yet destructive example of an adult with permanently arrested development in all three areas. His personality and moral development – as a man over 70 years old – are those of a two-year-old to a three-year-old. All that matters to him is himself, leaving him totally incapable of empathy or concern for others. To him, no matter what it is or what the effects may be, anything is moral if it gets him what he wants, or allows him to do what he wants. In short, he has NO morals.

Trump’s cognitive development is permanently arrested at the level of a pre-adolescent. That means that he is unable to understand complex ideas, incapable of building effective relationships between complex ideas. That means that his understanding of issues is very limited. It is also the reason why he does not like to read: He simply does not understand what he reads. Given this, If Trump would allow people to look into his academic records and interview people, I strongly believe that you would find that Trump never wrote an academic paper by himself, completed an essay exam by himself. Rather, it is likely that he either hired someone to write his paper, to get essay test question and write answers in advance, or simply bribed instructors to give him grades. IN other words, it is very likely that his entire academic record is a sham.

Given these facts, I urge you to reconsider. In supporting Trump, you are placing your future, that of your children, and the future of our nation in deep jeopardy . If you do not reconsider, I pity you and dearly hope that your nation is strong enough to overcome the effects of your bad judgment

I wonder what percentage of the population is mentally ill? I suspect somewhere near the percentage that’s consistently supported trump.. Even they likely realize he’s nuts, but - he hurts the people they resent and envy. For that, they’d allow him to destroy the world…

What I was trying to say was not that Trump is mentally ill, as under psychosis, but that he is permanently mentally defective.

I’ve assumed that’s obvious to all but the insane 😉 and was attempting to expound..

Estimates I’ve read say that somewhere between one third and two thirds of adults never become proficient at Formal Operational Stage thinking. That’s a shocking (if somewhat broad) estimate, but it would explain the existence of Trump’s base in Piagetian terms.
