Trump on the Couch by Justin A. Frank

Untreated hyperactive tendencies create a whole cycle of problems. " This is Trump. It limits not only his intellectual development, but these problems mean that as an adult he also can’t listen to other people. He can’t think properly. Because Trump does not understand, he therefore has to retreat to name-calling or going to his base to whip up a frenzy of activity. Donald Trump on a fundamental level does not understand complex issues. This is why Donald Trump always says things such as, “I have the best words,” or “I’m the smartest person, I know things other people don't." Together such comments signal something extremely disturbing... Donald Trump is erotically attached to violence... Trump is unable to manage anxiety. Therefore, he cannot help the American people manage their anxiety." (From an interview with Justin Frank, author of "Trump on the Couch.")

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
