The plague Trump has inflicted upon the entire world is far worse than Covid-19. Trump has, by setting an example, unleashed a virulent plague of psychopathy and narcissism.

One might be tempted to call the USA's Covid-19 pandemic a Trump plague because of his intentional bad handling of it, with the priority on his political future, not the safety of the American public.

But the Trump Covid-19 pandemic is simply a symptom of the deeper, far bigger, far more destructive Trump plague that has already afflicted the world.

There is absolutely no question that Trump is a malignant narcissist psychopath. For the Trump plague, that psychopathic narcissism makes him the ultimate contagion vector patient zero.

The plague Trump has unleashed is far worse, far more dangerous than Covid, maybe even more dangerous than Ebola. Why?

 - Because it has unleashed a virulent disease that does not require contact, or inhalation of microbes or viruses. It can be communicated from a thousand miles away.

 - Because what it does is remove the internal and external restraints on people who are narcissistic or psychopathic, freeing them to behave in far more narcissistic and psychopathic ways.

 - Because behaviors that were considered despicable and totally unacceptable before are now being not only tolerated, but sometimes even encouraged and lauded.

Trump has become a hero for a group of people, even a cult leader, so it is considred that he can not only do no wrong, but his disgusting, vile, unacceptable behaviors and attitudes are seen as not only okay, but as positive examples.

Every psychopath is a narcissist. There are more narcissists than there are psychopaths, and for many, it's a matter of degree. Psychopaths are willing to cross more lines, to be more overt and aggressive in their predatory, empathy-less self-centered behaviors.

Psychpaths and many narcissists manifest many of these characteristics:

Ã? Lack of empathy

Ã? Lack of caring about others

Ã? Predatory naturethey look at how they can exploit, take from or use people and systems.

Ã? Dishonest: they lie, cheat, steal, with no respect for laws

Ã? Charisma: they are brilliant at charming people

Ã? Meanness and Callousness- they are, because of their lack of empathy, hard-hearted. Wikipedia says, "Lacking empathy and close attachments with others, disdain of close attachments, use of cruelty to gain empowerment, exploitative tendencies, defiance of authority, and destructive excitement seeking"

Ã? Chameleon-likethey are brilliant at looking like good, kind, nurturing people

Ã? Remorselessthey don't feel guilt when or after they perpetrate wrongs

Ã? Lack of close interpersonal bondsthey'll fake relationships as part of their predations, but just don't care about people

Ã? Impulsivitythe less intelligent ones have impulsivity problems that can land them in jail. The smarter ones, with more self control become CEOs, legislators and Church leaders.

Ã? Boldness: they have very high self confidence, strong tolerance of stress and unfamiliar, dangerous situations and powerful self-assertiveness, which serves their inclination towards predatory behavior

Besides the characteristics of psychopathy and narcissism, we also have examples of bad behaviors that Trump and his team of psychopaths set examples for.

-taking off or not wearing masks

-rejecting science

-characterizing as fake news news sources that criticize him or his projects or people

The bottom line is Trump has unleashed the restraints that people have normally applied to narcissistic and psychopathic impulses, making it seem more acceptable, even positive to engage in them. There are an estimated 70 million psychopaths world wide and probably half a billion narcissistsall uncaring predators who get pleasure out of using, exploiting, dominating and hurting people.

This unleashing of the worst aspects of being human, or inhumane, will cause untold suffering possible even for generations to come.
