Gregg: As you know, the APA has a rule against "analyzing" anyone without actually taking them on as a "client." I know it's tempting to imagine that you know enough about a person based on how they are portrayed on television but I suspect that is not how you think clinical psychology should actually work in real life . . <g> More importantly, since this is a world leader you're talking about -- who has been the target of relentless 24/7 attacks -- I can tell you that "Trump" and "Algorithms" have *nothing* to do with what is going on in the world today (which, alas, it is my job to understand.) "Racism" is a *meme* that is being deployed by the TELEVISION paradigm because it is desperately trying to hold-on, even though obviously it has become totally obsolete now that we are DIGITAL. None of the memes make any sense anymore. Nike's "Just Do It!" has now turned into a boycott against them. As we wrote more than a year ago, we are living with the "end of memes." As it turns out, yesterday the EU actually passed a law against them (or what most in the Internet think they are). https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__medium.com_rally-2Dpoint-2Dperspectives_the-2Dend-2Dof-2Dmemes-2Dor-2Dmcluhan-2D101-2D2095ae3cad02&d=DwIDaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=rG9ldyCLY_blxNmVNHkATP3u_ZUsQRv_uFOxF8AU5NM&s=yeRR2HMCB-3DGCJbBeJqJ9PR8pL738sMyV2a7pSq5IA&e= TELEVISION tried to convince us that there is a "Family of Man," as the ideology behind its "globalist" ambitions. None of that makes any sense any more. Hopefully my posts about China have been helpful to illustrate this "new" reality. Brexit. Italy. Hungary. And now Sweden &c. Trump is only the "symptom" of something much larger. This is a world-wide phenomenon and has little to do with Trump or anyone else's "personality" (or presumed "stage of development.") Welcome to the future (which isn't at all like most people thought it would be) . . . !!
