Quote: Trump only takes two positions. Either you’re a scummy loser, liar, whatever, or you’re the greatest. He told Trump that if he would give him half the advance and half the book’s royalties he’d take the job.
Quote: He asked Trump to describe his childhood in detail. After sitting for only a few minutes in his suit and tie, Trump became impatient and irritable. He looked fidgety, Schwartz recalls, “like a kindergartner who can’t sit still in a classroom.” “It’s implicit in a lot of what people write, but it’s never explicit—or at least, I haven’t seen it. And that is that it’s impossible to keep him focussed on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ” Schwartz trailed off, shaking his head in amazement. He regards Trump’s inability to concentrate as alarming in a Presidential candidate. “If he had to be briefed on a crisis in the Situation Room, it’s impossible to imagine him paying attention over a long period of time,” he said. Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.” There was not a single call that Trump deemed too private for Schwartz to hear. “He loved the attention,” Schwartz recalls. “If he could have had three hundred thousand people listening in, he would have been even happier.” Trump seemed driven entirely by a need for public attention. “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth,” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.” insatiable hunger for “money, praise, and celebrity.” “He’d like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they weren’t. It wasn’t personal. He’s a transactional man—it was all about what you could do for him.”
Quote: You've never dealt with a kid with ADHD, have you? It's a whirlwind of constant activity and Look at me! Look at me! and motor-mouthing [tweeting]. It's almost as if they can't pay attention to something unless someone is paying attention to THEM paying atention to something. They love being in chaotic situations because all of the shiny bits of events are very attention-grabbing. If I had to peg Trump with something, that would be it. Unlike Hillary, who's just a creepy hag who loves killing people and who sold her soul for power.

Quote: Trying to spin it so it just looks like Chump has just a wee little problem focusing huh??? ADHD is rarely a stand-alone diagnosis. It's just the most easily identified symptom. Most people get identified for their ADHD behavior and later get diagnosed with something else. There are a couple dozen disorders that list ADHD behaviors under their umbrellas.
Quote:His actions... his pathological lying, grandstanding, attention whoring, ect... are a physical representation that his brain is not capable of wholly logical function.
Quote: Even if it were true that he has an "ADHD co-morbid disorder", wouldn't you WANT a leader that has most of his Prefrontal Cortex ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING????????????? That's where a lot of memory, planning, higher emotional function and DECISION MAKING takes place. It's also what's messed up in people with ADHD. I happen to think DECISION MAKING skills are important in a president, don't YOU??

Quote:Let me put this to you directly, Signym. Trump made 6 promises about health care: ‘health insurance for everybody’ ‘no cuts … to medicaid’ ‘no one will lose coverage’ ‘nobody will be worse off financially’ ‘get rid of artificial lines’ ‘everybody’s going to be taken care of’ Oh, there were claims that Trump’s legislation would keep the promises, but what Trump actually did was attempt to repeal Obamacare. When it came time to write the legislation, none of those promises made it to paper. Trump has had years to rework this legislation, but he did not because his real motivation, which does not align with what his mouth says, was only to kill Obamacare.

The White House physician has a wide choice of drugs for ADHD, but he has not prescribed any for Trump. 1kiki and Signym have to explain that before trying to sell the idea that Trump has ADHD, or else the doctor is committing malpractice. I already commented on it ... TRUMP DOESN'T DO DRUGS. A physician can prescribed, but s/he can't force someone to take. I have heard many children describe their bad reactions to various medications, especially psychoactive ones, and in particular to ADHD medications which they have refused to take. Many children felt that the meds made them dull, depressed, apathetic, sick. Now I'm going to speculate. When I read that Trump was sent to a military-type academy, my spidey-sense was activated because there are only a few reasons why fathers send their sons there, and one of them is ADHD. I suspect ... but of course we will never know ... that drugs may have been tried on Trump when he was young, which was why he has an aversion to them now. Now, since this is the SECOND time that I've answered that point, how about answering mine at least once?

Quote: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-squeaky-wheel/201602/study-half-all-presidents-suffered-mental-illness According to a study by Jonathan Davidson of the Duke University Medical Center and colleagues, who reviewed biographical sources for the first 37 presidents (1776-1974), half of those men had been afflicted by mental illness—and 27% met those criteria while in office, something that could have clearly affected their ability to perform their jobs. The authors of the study concluded that 24% percent of presidents met the diagnostic criteria for depression, including James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Franklin Pierce, Abraham Lincoln, and Calvin Coolidge. (Depression seemed to ease for the group about a century ago, coincidently, around the time electricity and indoor plumbing swept the nation. I’m not saying the two are connected but I have my suspicions.) (When it comes to world leaders in general, Winston Churchill was a famous suffered from depression as well. - 1kiki) Davidson and his team also found evidence of anxiety disorders, ranging from social phobia to generalized anxiety disorder, among 8% of the presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, Coolidge, and Woodrow Wilson. More seriously, the team concluded that 8% of presidents had signs of bipolar disorder, Lyndon Johnson and Theodore Roosevelt among them. Indeed, Theodore Roosevelt’s decision to go on a two-year expedition of unexplored areas of the Amazon smacks of manic thinking. (Only 16 of the 19 expedition members survived the ordeal.) Finally, 8% of the presidents studied exhibited evidence of alcohol abuse or dependence. Pierce died of cirrhosis of the liver; Grant was once allegedly so drunk he fell of his horse during a military parade in New Orleans; and Nixon was once unable to take a rather important phone call from the British Prime Minister because he was “loaded." Numerous other presidents had physical conditions that can have a severe impact on psychological functioning. Taft, for example, had sleep apnea, which is associated with declines in cognitive functioning across the board, and most famously, some scholars now believe that Ronald Reagan showed early signs of Alzheimer’s while still in office.
