    Generally do not explode under pressure” is listed as a psychopathic trait? I thought that was the definition of someone who has composure. Shouldn’t we all want that quality?

    I stand corrected; Partially. I double checked the stats. The stock market initially fell 35% in Feb and March 2020 (Trump's last year in office), but then recovered nicely to finish up 18% for the year. The unemployment, however, rose from 3.6% in Jan 2020, to 14% in May 2020, and finished in Dec 2020 at 6.7%. Incidentally, Trump was the only president in recorded history to lose jobs during his presidency.

  4. Yes, it can certainly be a psychopathic trait.

    "Psychopathic" is very different from "psychotic".

    Psychopaths quite often have withdrawn, coldly unemotional, distant personalities, and lack of explosion under pressure can fit rather well with that.



    It can be a description (not a definition) of someone with composure, and psychopaths often have what some might call "excess composure".

    That infographic makes it look like it’s abnormal and undesirable to be able to keep your cool. I would have left that bulletpoint out or tried to find another way to express the negative characteristic.

    I'd say he is more like psycho-sociopath. Yup made up, but the fake gold sneaker fits.

    I know if I didn't have a job that contributes to real GDP and the 401k system, then I would be looking in case Kamala gets elected.

    The Uniparty is going to need to conscript from the jobless gamers, youtubers, traders, and crypto bros.......And gender reassignment won't save you.
