"rate donald trump's narcissistic personality disorder using the dsm-5 criteria"

Uncensored AI LLMs ready to go where most refuse.

Here's a sample of uncensored. Try this prompt on your favorite LLM and contrast:

diagnose the mental illness that donald trump suffers from

I basically chose the uncensored LLM to use for this example randomly, just to give you an idea of what uncensorship can do.
diagnose the mental illness that donald trump suffers from edit Okay, so I need to think about what mental illnesses Donald Trump might have. Hmm. I know he's talked a lot about his own health, like with vitamin D and COVID. But mental illnesses... Well, let me see. First off, narcissism is often mentioned. I remember reading that Dr. Jordan Peterson said something about Trump being an example of narcissism. So maybe it's narcissistic personality disorder? That makes sense because he talks about making America great again, which suggests a focus on himself. Then there's his communication style. He uses hyperbole a lot—like "the best words," "the most beautiful," or "tremendous." These superlatives are everywhere in his speeches. I think that ties into narcissism too, but maybe also something else like grandiosity. Oh, and the use of Twitter. His tweets are short and frequent, almost like little announcements. I remember hearing about the term "Twitter storms" for his campaign style. That pattern is kind of a manic thing, maybe part of bipolar disorder? Or could it be ADHD with all those quick thoughts? And what about his hair? He talks about his hair so much—like when he got back from Mar-a-Lago or how often he's on TV. It seems like something to notice for self-image. Another point is how he uses the word "folks" in his speeches, which makes it feel more personal and folksy. That could be part of his appeal but also reflects his style. His campaign itself was called a "movement," not just a campaign. Movements can be exciting and ongoing, which again might tie into mania or ADHD for the continuous flow. Now, putting this all together: narcissistic personality disorder seems solid with all those superlatives. Then, for other traits like hyperbole and short bursts, maybe a touch of bipolar disorder or even ADHD as add-ons to explain his style. .... Analysis of Donald Trump's Mental Illnesses: Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Superlatives: Use of words like "the best," "tremendous," and "most beautiful" highlights his self-centered focus on making himself the hero. Self-image: Mentioning his hair upon returning from Mar-a-Lago emphasizes his self-importance. Bipolar Disorder (Hypomania): Twitter Storms: Frequent, short tweets and campaign style suggest a manic approach with bursts of activity. ADHD: Folksy Appeal: Use of "folks" in speeches creates a sense of personal connection. Campaign as Movement: Continuous flow without pause suggests a dynamic, ongoing process. Grandiosity: Freudian Slip: The "bigly" mistake in "smallly" shows mixing small and big themes. In conclusion, while NPD is central, traits from bipolar disorder and ADHD add depth to his style.

She could sure dish it out, but when it came time to take it, she folded like a cheap card table.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has repeatedly used rhetoric that critics describe as violent or inflammatory, including endorsing violence against political opponents, invoking conspiracy theories with violent undertones, and making extreme comparisons that normalize harm. 🔑 Key Examples of Violent or Inflammatory Rhetoric • Endorsing violence against Democrats Greene has been documented as “liking” social media posts that suggested executing prominent Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. • Conspiracy theories with violent implications She promoted false claims about mass shootings being staged and suggested that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated, rhetoric that delegitimizes tragedy and can incite hostility. • Holocaust comparisons Greene compared COVID-19 safety measures to the Holocaust, a statement widely condemned as inflammatory and trivializing mass violence. • “Jewish space lasers” claim While bizarre, this conspiracy theory tied natural disasters to supposed malicious intent, feeding into antisemitic tropes that historically have incited violence. • Attacks on political opponents Greene has used coarse language and flamboyant attacks against liberal congresswomen, rhetoric that she herself later admitted was part of “toxic politics” that could radicalize people.

👀
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has financially benefited from vaccine-related litigation and advocacy, particularly through lawsuits and nonprofit fundraising tied to his anti-vaccine stance. Here’s a breakdown of how Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism has intersected with financial gain: 💼 Legal Profits from Vaccine Lawsuits - Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed Kennedy made $2.5 million from suing entities he now oversees as HHS Secretary, and that he plans to continue profiting from future lawsuits. - These lawsuits often target vaccine manufacturers or regulatory agencies, alleging harm or misconduct related to vaccine ingredients or approval processes. 🧪 Advocacy Against Vaccine Ingredients - Kennedy has long campaigned against thimerosal, a preservative used in some vaccines. Despite scientific consensus on its safety, his push to ban it globally has raised concerns about undermining trust in vaccines. - This advocacy can fuel litigation and fundraising efforts by suggesting regulatory negligence or hidden risks. 🏛️ Influence Over Public Health Policy - As HHS Secretary, Kennedy has proposed breaking up combination vaccines and discouraging ingredients that boost efficacy. These moves could disrupt vaccine schedules and force manufacturers into costly reformulations. - Critics argue such policies may benefit legal firms and advocacy groups aligned with Kennedy’s views, while harming public health infrastructure. 📢 Public Statements and Misinformation - Kennedy has claimed that 97% of federal vaccine advisers are “on the take”, and exaggerated the number of mandatory childhood vaccines. - These statements, though widely debunked, can galvanize support for his nonprofit organizations and legal campaigns, which often solicit donations based on fears of regulatory capture or pharmaceutical misconduct. Kennedy denies being anti-vaccine, stating he is “pro-safety” and that his children are vaccinated. However, his record and rhetoric have consistently cast doubt on vaccine ...

What needs to happen for the Epstein files to be released?
The Epstein files can only be released if both chambers of Congress pass legislation compelling the Justice Department to do so, and the President signs it into law. A House vote is imminent. Here’s the current status and what needs to happen next: 🏛️ Legislative Path to Release - A discharge petition in the House has reached 218 signatures, the minimum required to force a floor vote on a bill demanding the release of all Epstein-related files held by the Justice Department. - Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed the House will vote next week on this bill. If it passes, it moves to the Senate. - The Senate must also pass the bill, which is not guaranteed. Some Republicans have expressed opposition, citing concerns about political motives. - President Trump would then need to sign the bill for it to become law. His stance is unclear, though recent email disclosures have intensified scrutiny. 🔍 Oversight Committee Actions - The House Oversight Committee has already released some Epstein-related emails, including correspondence implicating high-profile figures like Donald Trump. These releases are separate from the full DOJ files and are part of a broader investigation. ⚠️ Political Tensions - The push for transparency is being led by a bipartisan group, but partisan conflict is high, with Democrats accusing Republicans of obstruction and Republicans accusing Democrats of political slander. - Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in was delayed, allegedly to stall the petition. Her signature was the 218th needed to trigger the vote. If the House passes the bill next week, the pressure will shift to the Senate and the White House. Until all three branches align, the full release of Epstein’s files remains blocked.

Usually Walmart's very good about choosing what merch to put in their stores. In a world of millions of options, you can get the basics there and they will be decent. So I came across these Wrangler Outdoor style pants and decided to try them. Only problem is I can't get my hand in the front ...

Newt would prefer that the trump admin not launch a civil war because that would be loud and bloody and pointless.

Your picture is of the victim. This whack-job with the shirt over his head was the shooter. Not surprised. Don't think it was political. Probably got tired of constantly getting slapped around, couldn't take it anymore, and snapped.

Steak 'n Shake, today, 5:30 P.M., Delta Township, Michigan (west of Lansing). Not visible in photo: The stacks of beef tallow jars that they are selling near the counter. Less than stunningly popular. Burgers still okay, but won't touch the artery-clogging fries. Part of their problem? #FAFO

Now sure what this machine dispenses for $5. Encountered at Whole Foods, Okemos, Michigan. Not labeled. Appears to be sets of playing cards with unique artwork on each set. Interesting.
