“The Real Psychology of the Trump Presidency” by Stanley Renshon: Because Trump “contains multitudes," he knows how voters feel
Stanley Renshon is a professor of Political Science and a certified psychoanalyst. His Epigraph at the front of this 555-page nonfiction book (1) quotes the poet Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself: “I am large; I contain multitudes,” a metaphor for empathy and multiple personality, although the book’s index does not reference “multiple personality.”
Comment: The above makes me suspect that Trump has multiple personality trait, a mentally-well version of multiple personality, and that his electability is based on the feeling of many voters that he knows how they feel, because the multitude he contains includes people like them.
