The possible dire consequences of Trump's behavioural exceptionalism is worrying the whole world at the moment. so discussion on its cause is to be expected.

However, NurseAngela, an exceptional event happened to me in August 2017: I found myself in total agreement with something that Steve Bannon said:

"There's no military solution (to North Korea's nuclear threats), forget it," Bannon says. "Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that 10 million people in Seoul don't die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don't know what you're talking about, there's no military solution.."

I don't actually feel Trump lacks empathy.

I sense, rather, that he likes to take a "tough love" approach to things, and that he is inflexible about it.

He is centered on "his values," and does not really relate to the values of other cultures.


That would be the best way to describe him.

That describes him to a T.

I don't believe Trump is autistic. I just think he has no idea how to run a country.

He's something, all right, but I don't think it's autistic.
