Balanced? Explain that. 

I'll let the original poster explain what was meant.  

At least at the beginning of his presidency and candidacy he was seen as forging his own path rather than subscribing to partisan politics or extreme conservatism.  This was one of the reasons he was popular at the beginning because he wasn't "establishment" or even political, but something new, someone that "spoke his mind".

It's unexplainable.  Definitely the most unbalanced.  He has no political philosophy and tendencies.  He just does what the big pocket donaters tell him to do.  He's had no interest politics in his entire life.  His libido, narcissism and lack of humility have defined who he is.  Put in in the White House and you saw how incredibly uninterested he was in government.  It's too hard for his little mind.  That's why he loved Ran Paul and MTG and the other loonies that he recognizes across a crowded room.

What credentials do you have to diagnose Trump as narcissistic?  As a licensed PMHNP I don’t see how he meets any of the criteria.  He doesn’t meet any of the DSM Criteria.  You shouldn’t really go around labeling people with Psychiatric disorders if you don’t have the credentials.

So earlier on we pointed out the hypocrisy of Abbot. Now it's DeSantis's turn 

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_611cd652e4b0e8ac7918df2a

He's hawking a drug from a manufacturer that contributed to his funds! 

Republican's supporters are the epitomy of Dumb and Dumber! They are getting grifted from all quarters! And they are still supporting their boys! It's a race to the bottom to see who's the most corrupt! 

Citadel is a large hedge fund that has many positions including Pfizer and Moderna.  Regeneron works.  How else is Florida doing better than most states in death rates even though our population is much older.

Florida at 185 deaths/100k and Texas at 186 while New Jersey is at 300.  Maybe that Democratic governor of NJ needs to take a page out of DeSantis playbook and promote this miracle drug and fight against super spreader domestic terrorism riots from BLM and AntiFa.  
 

This isn’t even taking into account how Florida doesn’t enforce authoritarian mask mandates psychologically traumatizing the population.  People have the choice to wear a mask if they choose.  My body my choice.   I thought the left loved that philosophy.

I am licensed as a PMHNP with a post masters certificate.  I have been doing cash pay Psych online as an FNP off and on for a few years, 2 years of Suboxone therapy, and was routinely stationed in the Psych side of my ER bc I am a 220lb male and they often required me to sedate people.

 

 I’ve noted it before my ultimate goal is to open a Psych private practice full time and that should be up and running June 2021.

An ICU admission is traumatizing.  Mask wearing traumatizing the population?  Is that what you tell you patients is the source of their trauma?

Do yourself the favor and look at the DSM Criteria and honestly ask yourself if he meets them.  There are plenty of leftist physicians out there who are just as easily fooled by leftist propaganda as others.  Trump is a good person and nothing you can say changes my opinion of that.  He saved millions by streamlining the vaccination process.  He helped secure the border.  He helped initiate tax cuts for the upper class that were long overdue.

Trump lives his life for other people and not himself.  He is selfless.

Yes he meets them..watch "Unfit" see above, It is all thoroughly explained in great detail from psychiatrists who have studied umpteen years, take both insurance and cash patients, provide community services to make this world a better place,  are leaders in their field and teach those who are establishing themselves in the field. EXPERTS! who risked their reputations to provide their clinical opinions of an unfit to serve President.

DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)

Quote

In the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), [1] NPD is defined as comprising a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by the presence of at least 5 of the following 9 criteria:

A grandiose sense of self-importance

A preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

A belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions

A need for excessive admiration

A sense of entitlement

Interpersonally exploitive behavior

A lack of empathy

Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her

A demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes

Observation of behavior reflects what about Trump?
