Donald Trump is “confused”

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Sociopaths can’t feel empathy. These people do not have consciences. And because the conscience — so important in the makeup of a human being — is missing, absence prevents these people from experiencing much in life.

They can’t love. They can’t empathize. Think of them as aliens in their own skin — human robots cast adrift watching others and mechanically parroting their words back to them. There is a giant void where the conscience should be. So sociopaths are different than the average person. But there are different TYPES of sociopaths. One type is the sadistic sociopath.

These people enjoy human pain. They get off on suffering. Where others would turn away in disgust, these people lean forward into the chaos wanting, more, more, more of it. I am not a psychologist. But I have often thought that Donald Trump just might be one of these people.

Of course, I don’t know. But he certainly has many of the personality traits that make up these people. And with the story from The Daily Beast, it only makes me that much more convinced.

Per the Beast, Trump was reportedly “confused” and puzzled as to why others around him weren’t enjoying the insurrection like he was. Reportedly, in fact,Trump enjoyed the destruction so much that he rewound certain parts just so he could savor certain moments. Nothing like a bit of torture and death to make a sociopath take notice.

Now you might ask yourself why anybody could possibly ENJOY what was going on. But the question is unanswerable. Only a sociopath could. And because the majority of people in the world are not sociopaths, the majority found the day abhorrent.

According to the Daily Beast, Retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg told the January 6 committee this as well as telling them that Trump’s staff begged him to say something and take action against the insurrectionists.

Trump did not appear to want to do that. In closing — ask yourselves — who could behave that way other than a sociopath? Who could not only enjoy the depravity but want to see more of it? The answer is a sociopath — a sadistic sociopath of the most toxic kind.
