‘He Is a Sociopath’: Conservative Lawyer Says ‘We Need to Start Talking About Trump’s Mental State’

Not so he can plead insanity - so he can't run for president.

By

George Conway, conservative lawyer and longtime critic of Donald Trump (even when his wife was Trump’s top advisor), appeared on CNN recently to discuss the former president’s actions lately.

Central to the conversation was Trump’s post from Friday night. He posted a video of Sammy the Bull, a well-known member of the Gambino crime family, saying that he’d tried to “press” Trump for favors, but couldn’t corrupt him.

“I couldn’t get to him. He wouldn’t bite,” said the convicted mass murderer.

“Thank you to Sammy the Bull,” Trump wrote. “I hope Judges Engoron & Kaplan see this.”

He said, “We need fairness, strength and honesty in our New York Courts. We don’t have it now!”

Now George Conway says it time to check in on Trump:

“Telling judges, committed to uphold the rule of law, that they should listen to a mobster. You know, he is a sociopath. One of the things I think that needs to happen this year is we need to start talking about Donald Trump’s mental state.

This is not a well man. A man who would say this publicly and actually believe it, because he does, is not a well man. And we have not — as a country really dealt with that fact. And I think to totally understand where Trump is coming from, where his authoritarian bent is coming from, and the danger he poses to the country, we need to start talking about that.”

Of course we do! Trump has long looked up to dictators, wishing he could implement policies like killing drug dealers on the spot as they do in other countries. He admires how fascist dictators keep their people in line.

In short, Donald Trump lives in an entirely different world than we do. He does not believe that rules apply to him, and if he ever thought ANY rule applied to him, now that he’s been president, that’s all the way out the window.

He honestly believes that illegal acts become legal if he does them. I can hear Nixon in my head as I type this.
