    4 generations of Trump amorality: D Brooks suggests nurture, but conscientiousness & ageeableness are heritable too. https://nyti.ms/2uggqeR

        The preening queen of amorality is you & your SJW smears against driven successful people. To you they're all despicable oppressive whites.

        They all have become sociopaths because of Stockholm Syndrome. The way they have become accustomed to defend and normalize grift and greed.

        Complimentary reading may be Arendt's Banality of Evil. Thesis: amoral people have no inner dialogue. I'd say bloated id arresting superego.

        Is he Jewish? There is a clear Jewish axis against Trump, so evident. When a scholar is unreasonable against Trump, check his background

        Brooks loves to talk about the psychological side of politics. But he's not good at analyzing the actual legal and political implications.

        It seems much more like Obama administration has been caught colluding with Russians in order to undermine (and wire-tap) Trump.
