This great interview had so many clues that the Trump administration was a mental aberration, headed by a weapons-grade sociopath. Trump's supercilious attitude toward the CIA and FBI was a reflection of his grandiose self image of being superior to all others. What does a demigod need with intelligence information? The degree of sickness in Trump should not be underestimated. But the degree of emulation by his follwers is even more disturbing. The number of politicians on the right who have become baby Trumps shows not only obsequiousness but gullibility and something I would call sociopathy by proxy. When so many people follow a man who is mentally ill and see him as a role model, we are in deep trouble as a nation.

Amazing. This insurrection is approximately 90% from white males who have been emasculated or disaffected from our economic & social systems. Other OECD countries have political unrest but no where near what the U.S has. What could they be doing right that we don't seem to have a clue about? Could it be their economic and social systems are geared toward more of an equitable sharing of economic results rather that the massive winner-take-all approach the U.S. has pursued for the past 200 years? Could a partnership between business and government alleviate some of this vindictiveness?
