Alway_Ask_Qs, you say ADHD isn’t much prevalent among presidents, but IMO, it sure is with Trump.
Reb Eliezer, more likely, Trump has been MISdiagnosed by spiteful biased others with an axe to grind. As for the rest of what you stated, did you take into account nurture (not just nature)? IMO, the reason many believe the media re: his so-called NPD, is due to a combo of his ADHD nature =and= Narc-Nurture. During his formative and prime years, he probably associated with a good number of true narcs, so its inevitable that it rubbed off, and he learned to mimick the sharks so as to be able to navigate them. (Like the story by Chaim Walder, about the boy in the [warsaw??] ghetto who learned to mimick nazi’s, and then actually enacted a nazi in real-life, thereby being able to help many fellow Jews. That was one fascinating story!
FYI, i’m acquainted with two ADHD people, both of whom are very much like Trump. Of course there are differences, such, that casual observers might not recognize the similarities. That’s because one is a chassidic teen boy who never learned much English, and the other is a conservative-Jewish woman who used to hobnob with rough/rowdy blue-collar types.
Both of them are tough cookies and behave alot like narcs (sounding off with self-focus, while not letting others get a word in edgewise, and frenzying when contradicted or interrupted, but they’re NOT true narcs as explained in my previous post). True narcs are calculating and deliberative, resorting to manipulations such as gaslighting, whereas ADHD’s tend to shoot from the hip instinctively or intuitively. People get easily deceived into judging people based on their cultural style, despite that their basic teva is really different than how their style makes them appear.
Finally, if you believe that “m’galglin zechus al y’dei zakai” – then shouldn’t you also believe that Trump, who pardoned Rubashkin, has a fair enough amount of “zakai” within him? And to pre-empt the “C” claim, i again emphasize that i don’t at all hold him responsible for the Covid, but rather consider him a victim of the machinations of the true Covid culprits, i.e. the Deep State and its henchmen.
All this doesn’t mean i’m not utterly upset by Trump AND rabbonim pushing the vaccine. Going along with Gates? For crying out loud.
