++This issue of the Atlantic has an article by psychologist Dan P. McAdams on the mind of Donald J. Trump and its implications for his presidency. McAdams had previous written about George W.Bush's redemptive psychology, ne'er do well son who makes good. Mc Adams tells us this psychological self-images like President Obama laying claim to the history of the black movement or Hillary Clinton going rom Goldwater girl to Secretary of State--a feminist story--all frame how to understand these people and their actions they take as politicians.
++McAdams says that "Trump's personality is certainly extreme by any standard and particularly were for a presidential candidate;many people who encounter the man--in negotiations or in interviews or on a debate stage or watching that debate on television--seem to find him flummoxing. "
++Mark Singer interviewed Trump for the New Yorker in 1990s and came away believing that a leading candidate for the President of the united States had managed to achieve something remarkable," an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul".
++Mac Adams says that Trump is more of an actor than Reagan. He is always acting and in his article he tries to discover the inner narrative that makes Trump tick.
