Apologies about the reupload. The last one was age-gated due to 1/2 a second of non-puritan content (it showed a girl dancing suggestively). When a video is age-restricted it usually ends up removed from recommendations. I took out the part that I think was causing great moral harm to the YouTube community.

Interesting. I agreed with much if not all of this 8 years ago… However so much has happened since. I wonder if an update of this diagnosis is warranted. Considering all the terrible truths learned about Biden, Kamala, Waltz, Hilary, etc. I would like to see how they fare from the couch.

The eery 80s graphics used in this video are a powerful reminder of the culture in which trump mis-spent his early adulthood. Yikes!!

"Perhaps it is the fascist publics rather than their leaders who need psychoanalysis" (Robert O. Paxton “The Anatomy of Fascism” 2004 Kindle: loc. 4,055).

"His secretiveness, hypochondria, narcissism, vengefulness, and megalomania were counterbalanced by a quick, retentive mind, a capacity to charm if he wanted to, and outstanding tactical cleverness. All efforts to psychoanalyze him have suffered from inaccessibility of their subject, as well as from the unanswered question of why, if some fascist leaders were insane, their publics adored them and they functioned effectively for so long. In any event, the latest and most authoritative biographer [Ian Kershaw] of Hitler concludes rightly that one must dwell less on the Führer's eccentricities than on the role the German public projected upon him and which he succeeded in filling until nearly the end" (Robert O. Paxton "The Anatomy of Fascism" 2004 p. 208).

How damn is the human been nowadays? Because I can see a kind of tendency to glorify stupidity and reject true knowledge as something harmful that will lead people to despair and regret. For example, if you acknowledge a problem that can be avoided and tell other people about it, you are gonna be seen as a lunatic or someone who dislikes to see the happiness of other people and want everybody to feel as bad as you do. Come on, folks, we are evolving backward, trusting easy solutions for complex problems. We just want to feel good all the time. We can't face hard issues and pass through probationary circumstances without crying like babies and blame others for our own actions. Trump is just an example of that behavior. Blame others for something that is our own fault. This isn't gonna end up well.

I didn't think Bayonetta from Home Alone 2 cameo had such political and psychological baggage

Never admit you're wrong about anything! Never apologize for anything! Always double, triple, etc. down on your lies! This is now considered normal and acceptable in our society.

Trump is the inevitable product of a system that rewards narcissism.

This video is good. Good video. I watch videos for years, decades even. So I know when I see a good video. I don't make videos, but if I did, it would be the best. No offence, but if I made this video, it would be greater, no, the best video on narcissism. Give me money, and I promise to make a better greatest video of all time. If you don't give me money, your loss, as I have the money, but you don't have the smarts to use it properly, like me. Since I am the best.
