In the last three months, countless articles and comments have been written about the personality of US President Donald Trump. I followed with full attention those lines that were characterized as being serious, concise and interesting about the Trump case, describing him as a spoiled child.
The sarcastic influence of the articles I read still remains in my mind and it was what prompted me to investigate the phenomenon of “Donald the Boy”. So I decided to do a reading on the so-called “gerontological regression” of Trump.
Gerontological regression is a term used in psychoanalysis; it refers to a pattern of behavior in which older people exhibit behaviors and needs characteristic of childhood or childhood. Increases significantly in older adults, after age 70 or more.
This regression is sometimes due to the unconscious need to relive the success, pleasure and security that such behavior generated at that previous stage.
The reading of his history of upbringing confirms his psychological regression, with the appearance of numerous behavioral disorders that reinforce this regression, and which highlights the personality of the character in the form of childhood flashes such as flagrant possessiveness, with some body gestures, such as pouting and closing your eyes when admiring. Many of her naive facial expressions and hairstyle suggest so.
These symptoms of regression are evident in Trump’s behavior. He looks like a beggar demanding what is not his with childish greed. He wants a trillion dollars from Saudi Arabia, praises the generosity of the Arabs towards the ladies and rejoices at the exaggerated value of the gifts received by his daughter during her visit to Saudi Arabia.
The spoiled child demands the annexation of a great country, Canada, to “Mama America”, the annexation of the Danish island of Greenland, the forced displacement of the inhabitants of Gaza to benefit from their land in investment projects, threatens to impose its control over the Panama Canal and wants Ukraine to give it all the rare-earth mines it owns, and what has made things even worse is his announcement that he will remain in office for a third term.
All these claims indicate that Trump has not yet emerged from the stage of a spoiled child who asks his mother everything that comes to mind, is driven by the instinct of possessiveness and his inner voice says: “I first”.
The deviant personality of Donald Trump is a product of the velvety class of American society. His family was rich, lived in big mansions and only drove huge luxury cars. His playmates called him “the Trumpet”.
The world is in a state of anxiety and apprehension for an eccentric man who suffers a state of senile regression, who rules the most powerful country in the world with the mentality of a spoiled child, doing everything possible to make the whole world his own, like a toy.
