(1) I've been watching this guy's video clips for a while & I find them very thought-provoking & informative. He's left wing so ofc I don't agree with his pols BUT I care more about information than ideology now.

Folk need to understand: TFG has NPD.

(2) In this video about TFG's long-standing thinly-veiled dysfunctional attitude toward women, Christo Aivalis makes some really sound arguments for inferring from behavior and comments over several years that TFG is indeed a misogynist.

Now, I would add that:

(3) The cause of his misogyny (and other stuff) is that he almost certainly has NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) and probably some other PD-related issues too.

IMO it's absolutely essential that Americans understand this about him & some of his children, too.

(4) The damage already done by this one NPD, will go on for decades after he dies. Further damage must be urgently prevented and mitigated.

Voters and the public must become better educated, fast, about the current situation in the USA. Foreigners like me, too.

(5) I suspect that some of his adult children might have PD like he does, as there is a genetic component to it, and childhood environment is also a huge factor.

Don Jr clearly is a substance abuser. That is obvious.

(6) Don Jr's life so far has been like his father's in many ways. Unable to achieve academic, business or political success on their own, they benefited from a coercive family system that has best been described for us by his estranged cousin, NYC psychologist Mary L Trump.

(7) After Ivana& DT separated & divorced, their 3 kids were in their mother's sole custody for extended periods of time. Their father didn't care about them, esp. the boys. Then one day they became useful so he made more of an effort to be a Dad.

Don Jr hardly sees his 5 kids.

(8) The gossip is that Vanessa Trump kicked out Don Jr for cheating on her. Either way, Don Jr's life was more settled during their marriage & we saw no outward signs of drug abuse. Even Hillary Clinton when asked for one thing she admired about TFG said his kids turned out well.

(9) While married, Don Jr had to find time for 5 kids, Vanessa, the Trump Org, & political campaigning. There's no way he cd do justice to them all.

Post divorce, he added in (the increasingly weird) Kim Guilfoyle & upped the politics. I doubt he's spent much time on Trump Org.

(10) It comes as no surprise to those of us who've spend time with an addict that Don Jr's drug use increased in recent years. Or that he would have aged so much in his appearance. He seems oblivious to how obvious it us. Most Americans say: At least Hunter Biden went to rehab.

(11) OK thank you for tolerating the tangent there, lol.

DJT Sr is a misogynist bc he has NPD. I doubt he ever felt love for his 3 wives, or for his children and grandchildren. Showing affection is different. You can do that without feeling love, and every NPD does it daily.

(12) IMO the policies enacted during the Trump admin were not misogynistic, or even sexist against women. You can argue that opposing legal abortion is sexist, but that is core Republican policy these days and any POTUS candidate has to toe that line, at least partially.

(13) Anyway, yes ofc he is a misogynist. His attitudes toward women are clear in his words, actions, & omissions over his lifetime.

He adored his own mom, of course. That's often a feature in men who grow up seeing their mom abused by their dad.

She was ill when he was a kid.

(14) Mary Trump developed a serious illness & her husband was callous & unsympathetic to her in her hour of need. This affected the kids, naturally.

To understand DJT, study his father. You will then also understand Don Jr.

I hope young DJT III breaks the cycle.

(15) Outside of the remaining Trump cult membership, it's crystal clear that the entire adult DJT family is very close to being in personal legal jeopardy for long term white collar crime at the Trump Org.

Many onlookers speculate that least the 3 eldest kids will be jailed.

(16) We're learning more about Daddy's Favorite Ivanka.

She is admittedly, smarter than her two brothers. (I leave minors out of all this.)

But she has made some bad judgment calls, to say the least.

(17) I think Don Jr & Eric are being set up by their "dad" to take the fall for him. We'll see in time if it works or not, right?

Ivanka & daddy would throw each other under the bus to save themselves. I never saw that until now.

I bet she changes her name to Kushner one day.

(18) It's possible that the indictments could also include Jared Kushner, Tiffany, Vanessa, Melania, her parents Victor and Amalia Knauss, and all manner of others caught up in it.

They ALL had a chance to alert the public at the right time. They chose not to.

(19) Also, I have some free unsolicited advice for anyone employed in a Trump Org company (there's hundreds of companies.)

Start looking for another job. Those companies are going to go broke once govt takes over the assets. Get out while you can with your reputation intact.

(20) Even before state and federal government seize the assets, with Don Jr & Eric at the helm, & no Allen Weisselberg to help, the assets will only decline in value.

The better ones like the designer golf courses will be snapped up for a song by smart investors.

(21) TFG isn't remaining in politics just to soothe his insatiable ego or keep swindling followers of their money. He's doing all he can to support a far right domestic terrorist movement to position it for another coup attempt, or five.

Americans must stay alert to the threat.

(22) And it's time to focus one's energies on the biggest issues not the also desirable but less life-threatening ones.

I'm talking about saving human lives, and saving the life of American democracy. Because the latter is needed for the former. And not just in the USA.

(23) I propose these priorities:

>Maximizing voluntary vaccine uptake AND the social distancing protocols we all needed before the vax were available.

Because <12s & certain sick people CANNOT get the vaccine. They need the social distancing protocols. A big group of people.

(23) Next priority IMO is

>Keeping and adding to the individual voting rights that Americans have died for multiple times since 1776.

Americans must do this, urgently, because the Republican party's* clear intention is to further erode those constitutional rights.

(24) I always add the caveat that not every elected Republican in DC is part of that plan.

Cheney and Kinzinger are no part of the anti-democracy garbage. About 20-30 others have at times joined them in standing up to TFG.

(25) At the Orlando CPAC event in February 2021, TFG read out the names of 17 US Reps and Senators who had most recently stoop up to him.

He has put a mark on their backs, no different to when an Ayatollah issued a fatwa on author Salman Rushdie in 1989. Do you remember?

(26) Everyone who wasn't old enough to understand what was done to Salman Rushdie (who now lives in the USA) should google and learn about him.

TFG is the beloved leader of a domestic terrorist movement & his goons will try to kill again, make no mistake about that.

(27) The signs are obvious, to anyone willing to step out of an ideology-based belief system & assess objective facts.

Moderate libs, & mod conservatives (like me) can see the signs of extremism in the far right & far left.

It's harrowing to realize it for the first time.

(28) IMHO, the far left is not anywhere near as dangerous as the far right is in the US atm.

True, crimes have been committed by the far left, & in the proper jurisdictions they're being investigated & addressed.

In recent years, no one on the left did anything like 1/6.

(29) In summary, it's all connected. The pandemic responses, voting rights, the radicalization of the Republican party, and the riot in the seat of the federal government on 1/6. Look beyond TFG to the wider issues.

My priorities are:

(30) Top four of several urgent priorities:

1. Vaccinations
2. Voting rights
3. Holding accountable every person who contributed to 1/6
4. Containing & shrinking the far right extremist threat.

Educate, educate, educate.
