Trump Quotes Russian Misinformation

MSNBC just interviewed Kurt Eichenwald, the Newsweek author of the article in question.  Kurt made the point that the excerpt Trump read was on page 19 of his 75-page article, and the ONLY place this excerpt was republished was on the Russian national news site.

Therefore, it is ALMOST CERTAIN that Trump pulled the quote, and misattributed it, from the Russian website.

THAT is one scary thought.  Will this become huge news, as it should?

Quote :

This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin? (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)

Is Trump being played like a fiddle by the Kremlin to discredit and disrupt American Democracy?

Like that would be difficult.

With nothing better to do, I was reading 3 Things Movies and TV Shows Get Wrong About Serial Killers (and 3 Things They Get Right), and right thing number 2 included this:

Quote :

The FBI cites a checklist developed by Dr. Robert Hare, a leading researcher, to examine and scale the personality traits of psychopaths. Not feeling any remorse is a big one:

The interpersonal traits include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others. The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallow affect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility. The lifestyle behaviors include stimulation-seeking behavior, impulsivity, irresponsibility, parasitic orientation, and a lack of realistic life goals. The anti-social behaviors include poor behavioral controls, early childhood behavior problems, juvenile delinquency, revocation of conditional release, and criminal versatility. The combination of these individual personality traits, interpersonal styles, and socially deviant lifestyles are the framework of psychopathy and can manifest themselves differently in individual psychopaths.

Am I nuts, or does that not provide a very accurate description of Trump?

The difference between this description and Trump is about $14,000,000 from his father.

Russian infatuation with Trump extends pretty deep.
