Our understanding of psychology evolves (as with all science). Trump is a sociopath, as defined in this new research by P.Gagne.
There's been much speculation about Trump's behavior, and how science might describe him. There's more to learn.
But, Trump is dangerous.

I'm putting my empathy on hold to let it rest up. Gonna need it for when his voters realize how bad this guy is. My empathy needs to be stronger than my urge to laugh and say I told you so. We will need a coalition, not more division, to get this guy gone in the end.

TIPS
Be self-aware - Trump wants you to feel outrage. Be mindful of the simple fact that every time you feel outrage, Trump scores points. Be measured and selective. A lot of what he says he’ll do, won’t get done.
Use humor
Remember empathy
Remember truth
