A Psychiatrist Explores The Mindset Of Trump's Enablers

- What is it that motivates the wide circle of enablers around Trump? In this video I explore the likely psychology that drives them, and why such a mindset is an essential component of a growing autocracy.
In previous videos I have looked at Trump's own mindset when it comes to his latest tranche of devastating economic policies, which you can see here:
• Is Donald Trump DELIBE...
And I also made a video about what motivated so many millions of voters to support Trump: • Why TRUMP Supporters R...

"Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, a weak person's idea of a strong man, and a stupid person's idea of a smart man."
the issue is that the world is full of STUPID people. Incredibly stupid people.
No truer statement has ever been made.
Well said
Well said!
Trump also is the insane person's idea of a sane man
I'm so sick of trump/republicans. so morally bankrupt!
Indeed.

@@nicholasjarosch8908 I barely made it through the last one and only started watching the news around when campaigns started up again to try to oust him. This time my understanding of what is going on and actively working with the Bernie groups is what keeps me staying positive.
It far, far more than morals. Peter Lavarro is the main economic advisor who has been described publicly and widely as a "madman". And he is aided and abetted my two billionaire hedge fund traders. What could possibly go wrong.
@@KittyKat-4it is great that you are staying aware, and the progressive movement led by Bernie coukd have saved this country. I hope you’re speaking out, too. Tell a friend, pass it on, we are in danger as a nation and we must stay alert.
thank you, doctor. There is only one word needed to describe Trump enablers -- GREED.
I was just about to say the same thing.
That is the enabler of this profoundly messed up and misguided species.
I was thinking 'insane'.
Trump supporters are not inherently greedy; rather, they are cognitively curtailed-truncated, if you will.
Truncated from the critical faculties that might otherwise preclude allegiance to such a figure.
This conditioning, sanctified under the banner of "ingroup virtue," has transfigured tribal loyalty into something approaching
a pseudo-spiritual fervour-what some might mistake for the “holy spirit.”
Consequently, their worldview skews toward antisocial narratives in both thought and action.
Linguistic determinism reminds us: the vocabulary of a violent culture inevitably cultivates a violent society.
Thus, we see a traumatized, truncation society clambering for agency where there is none - it has been yoinked by the oligarchs already.
Hate also describes most of them. They hate others.
There is a reason pride and greed are at the top of the seven deadly sins. Thank you again Doctor.

Pride stops you from admitting you made a mistake.

Another good example of DT's staff that you mention from 5:40 onwards is his press secretary, Caroline Leavitt. The way she answers questions by parroting DT is breathtaking.
I’d be interested in understanding the United States Supreme Court, especially why they gave Trump immunity.
Millions of dollars had a role with at least 2 of them.
I would like to understand that, too. Lack of courage, maybe.
@@SuperAngelic5 A Bloated Sense Of Self And Greed.
@@idontknow-qo7fp This is the answer.
The answer is complicated, for insight research the Federalist Society as they are responsible for the conservative candidates for the federal courts. Quid pro quo?! The justices and the overturning of Roe are all parts of a long game. The TRUE Deep State.
Another word I would use to describe their fragile egos and greed is sociopathic, because at the end of the day, most of these enablers are morally bankrupt sociopaths
What on earth makes them any different than the Dems who also went along with their demented boss until the very end.
Every last Republican is complicit in this march towards sociopathy. They have no sense that they may suffer consequences for their abandonment of basic morality and humanity.
I have appreciated the avoidance of using labels. They trigger some people's resistance. The weak or fragile react and refuse to think. So sad. So frustrating. The doctor's careful, thoughtful approach is a more neutral presentation of an idea to be considered. I want people back. I want Americans to be rational again. Some are still salvageable and wounded. Others, gone for good.
A sociopath is someone who indulges heavily in antisocial behavior. That seems to apply for Trump, Musk and Vance. I’m not sure about Rubio though.
The people who surround a malignant narcissist to my mind are v complex. Some have always had no conscience while others like Vance, Pence before him, Mike J, Lindsay, etc, are not necessarily sociopathic, though they are willing to carry out antisocial acts. I bet v few people from earlier, even recent, years wd recognise them as they are today. It gives you a form of cognitive whiplash.
There's a third major motivator of trump's sycophants which causes them to stay loyal: fear. Fear for the safety of themselves and their families. Trump isn't shy about activating his army of Red Hats against those he perceives as disloyal. Exhibit A: Paul Pelosi.
Yes, it's fear. All of them aren't getting rich off their MAGA adventure. But they can't find an exit.
Good point!

America is failing in a huge way
Admit it, it was always in the American DNA, ever since the Puritans and the Pilgrims. Trump is the ultimate symptom, the culmination, but 50% of your population agrees with him. After all, you elected him.

He is no Moscow agent. Babbling the Democrat talking points. It's the left that has had most connection with the old Soviet Union and supported it. They did not like the fall of communism and are mad now that Russia is fighting to be independent and against globalism.
Trump thinks he is superior to Putin and is now pissed because Putin did not go along with Trump's orders. Good for Putin.

@@nancyferrier8609 indeed. thiel
And i keep putting it out there,"When are we just going to start referring to him Insane.?"
I've been manic a couple of times, pretty much insane, but it was temporary and I came down with mood stabilizers. It's freaky to imagine Trump's delusion as a permanent fixture of his personality. There's no pill he can take to snap out of it. There's no medical solution for what is multiple dark personality disorders in one person, aka evil. Chilling.
Yep, there is absolutely no doubt that he is a deranged traitor.

Or king of the Maggots
Maggots is a good description of those magas
I find it difficult to come to terms with so-called christians supporting him
They are indeed worshipping false idols but they can't see it @charwood5197
Cults only end when the leader dies or he outright betrays the followers. When the misery he creates seeps down to the level of the individual MAGA, they'll abandon him. Highly recommend Eric Hoffer's book "The True Believer" for an explanation of the phenomenon
I saw a farmer being interviewed about losing his farm because of Trump's policies. He had voted for Trump. When asked if he would vote for Trump again he said yes. That's how bad the brainwashing is.
If it gets to the point where they realize they've been conned, they won't just leave the cult, they'll leave MAD. Those scorned ones might wield the most power to get rid of him.
@kevinharlowe7801 There have also been cases in which the members of the cult commit mass suicide rather than return to reason! Soooo tragic!
@@seasharptuneI am going to be THAT person and simply write: Hopefully.
I bought that book long time ago, can't remember when or why but I think it might have been when Trump was first elected! - to try understand the Why
As our Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said, "These tariffs have no basis in logic. They are not the act of a friend." No basis in logic. That's putting it very politely.
Indeed!
There’s one more factor that is very important in authoritarian transitions like this - fear. A lot of people are afraid of what they might lose, and what might happen to them if they cross the Trump/MAGA cult in any way. Fear can be a very powerful motivation.
Good point!
A bunch of cowards, they shouldn't be there if they are so afraid. People have put their lives on the line for this country, they can't summon a little bit of courage. Sickening.
And that Trump perfectly manipulates people with fear is such a master class. His father must have been such a sick twisted human being to be able to raise a human like Trump with this level of pathology.
So if (due to fear of losing a primary), the Republican lawmakers' greed and ambition causes them to publicly support Trumpian policies they know in their hearts are harmful for the country, then the real question becomes how can the mind set of MAGA primary voters be changed? The US will only be rid of Trumpism when the voters desert him.
It is not advisable to discuss rational ideas with Trumpers. They are not rational
I've come to thoroughly enjoy these uploads from your channel, Dr. Russell Razzaque. Despite the horrible news surrounding us, these lend hope and comfort. Thank you.
Yes, when we can understand why there is so much lack of hope, we can have more hope.
You are very welcome
"A pyramid of ever more fragile egos as you work your way to the very top."
So obviously true! Such a purified distillate of psychoanalysis.
One also sees this in Corporate life.
reminds me so much of what I have read about Germany 1933, from the reactions of the common followers up to politicians...
But someone like Mike Johnson looks at trump with just awe and appear giddy at his attention. I guess it’s the cult aspect. They are just in love with him.
I think one more important point to note is that there are many Americans who also have these kinds of fragile egos as well. That's why they gravitate towards Trump and look upon him as someone who projects strength. Perhaps this is a topic for a future video - the collective psyche of Americans who support Trump and his administration. Keep up the great work!
See link in the description 👍
@@russrazz Awesome - continue the good work. Your videos are much needed in these times. As an American who didn't vote for any of this, it helps me and many others process what's happening. Thank you!
I also suspect blackmail. Trump has had his sights set on the presidency for decades. That’s plenty of time to set the stage.
He's probably been fed russian intelligence on american politicians' weaknesses for at least a decade. Such knowledge is power.
Putin is his "controller", his intellectually superior dominating father, the only person he cannot defeat. Which characterizes Trump's life: trying to "defeat" his father.
Few can stand in front of evil incarnate and NOT give in to the mesmerizing power…if you haven’t prepared beforehand and steeled yourself to lose it all, you will cave! That’s why we must teach our children how to stand in honor and truth…we must ask OURSELVES…are WE PREPARED?
I've got no problem whatsoever not giving in to evil and I'm not one of the few. There are plenty who would recognize and stand against evil. Yes, raising children to be honorable is important, but I think most people know right from wrong innately.
But the stench standing in front of this one!
@poh, Speak for yourself, only !
"off the record" That's because they're all cowards and spineless power grubbers.
"One third of the electorate has been totally radicalized."
Even if you know it to be so, hearing it stated explicitly is still a shock.
Indeed!
Part of this is that logical, independent thinking and even Civil classes aren't taught in school. They should be, but then Republicans would be out of a job.
I'm still convinced that Donald Trump is in a head space where he honestly, completely, believes that tariffs are something that they are not. I am convinced that he really is of sub par intelect. I think he honestly thinks that he is right, God help us all.
I too believe that… sub par intellect.
He stubbornly believed so.
His enablers always call themselves: "we hold pure conservative core values at heart"
They think you as some kind of toxic poison, to those 'values'
That's why they choose to stick with DT. Anything for fear of degrading those 'values'.
You want to effectively forward ur message to the right? Consult psychologists first. You ll need them.
Good point!
Yet, how do we know if he's really that stupid, or if he just wants others to believe that? He seems quite shrewd in many ways, so maybe he's getting away with a lot because people think he's just unintelligent. Maybe he is a Russian agent, or has some agenda we don't know about, and acting dumb helps him act out his plans. I don't know the answers, but my gut says that it's dangerous to assume that what he does is motivated simply by a lack of intelligence.
Yes, and that's why he's a perfect puppet for people who are behind this drastic tariff politics.
You always go straight to the reasons for some of the most perplexing behavior. Thank you Dr. Razzaque.
You're most welcome 🙏
Thank you Doctor. He should be locked up.
Thank you Dr Razzaque !
You are welcome!
The cult of Trump.
so many young American kids being poisoned by this regime. Keyboard warriors who can't really process what is truly happening to their country and think they are "big" so emboldened further.
Its tragic.
Having lived next door to the US and travelled through it extensively over the years, the one outstanding thing that struck me time and time again was the deep rooted fear in every action, word, and thought of people in the US. They are loud and full of bluster, and love their guns (and many are incredibly kind, warm, caring individuals), but they are very afraid, just in general. They deny it of course, and probably aren't actually aware of it, but they may as well be shouting it out loud. Their guns make them "feel" brave they think, but it's not true. I think deep down, they know their country is built on a foundation of sand. Listen to the words of their national anthem, "and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there", even this is about violence and pretending to not be afraid. Some, like tRump, are more afraid than others.
An ignorant person will destroy the world down around them in an attempt to get what they want, whereas a wise person will devise a plan to methodically get to that same place.
Well said!
the "same place" of getting what they want or destroying the world?
Thank you for taking the time to make all of these videos; they provide much-needed clarity. Please take care of yourself, too.
Thank you so much!

I’ve been wondering about Rubio…. WTF?!? Does he have no self respect or plans for his future post Trump?
Mary Trump said one could watch the soul depart from Mr Rubio's body.
Which should make you think about how motivated they'll be to keep Trump in power after the constitution says he must leave.
Will there be a future post Trump?
Very troubling and puzzling with Rubio. He is an intelligent guy and studied law. Why would he attach himself to Trump. Very sad indeed.
Ambition & desire for power.
I keep hoping for a new generation of sane American politicians with backbone, a true sense of right and wrong and with the courage of their convictions 🙏
His closest enablers were ok with tariffs because they likely shorted the stock market and are CERTAINLY about to clean up on cheap assets.
When this whole house of cards falls down, it is rather easy to predict what Rubio and the others will say..... well, I felt I could do more on the inside by helping control his impulses.
Indeed!
I was only doing my job

You have said exactly what I have felt all these many years. All these people have sold their souls for prestige and money. Damn the whole world I'm more important. Hopefully people will wake up soon and change things before it's too late to make a quick turnaround
I was wondering if maybe Trump was somehow black mailing the Republicans so they'd do what he wanted. But this makes sense, too.
Thank you!
He is threatening them, openly. He says he & Elon will fund primary challenges to anyone that doesn’t toe the line. As well as singling them out for public abuse, which threatens their safety.
Rachel Maddox recommended the movie “all the kings men” 1949. Or 2006. Very relevant to our current situation.
Thank you. I will watch it!
The book, by Robert Penn Warren, is an American classic. As this has all unfolded I’ve been thinking about works like that and A Face In the Crowd and even Richard III a lot. There really nothing new under the Sun, is there?
No matter the gravity of your words, they are delivered in a manner that makes me feel like I will not only survive but come to flourish once again
Russell--you are doing a fantasttic job shining your light on the motivations behind Mr T and his enablers. Makes perfect sense to me...and you are speaking concisely and clearly about a subject that confounds most of us around the world. You recently quoted a man who said the smartest of us is the most compassionate--through your videos you are revealing what clarity and compassion looks like. What a gift! You are an inspiration!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
God keep you safe and thanks for speaking truth. Pray without ceasing.
Breathtaking analysis! Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you for your videos. I’ve never been one to be negative about the country. However, I am scared to death! It took me some months to convince my husband to retire, now he’s not going to do so. He has said that he will not retire until Trump is out of office. Our retirement monies are disappearing and we have very little time to recover any of our money. I pray for us all.
Good segment. Thank you.
Very welcome
So with Trump's mindset then he would deeply resent and deeply hate the economy because of it being described as roaring a bull market. So subconsciously speaking he has no choice but to destroy this. Thanks for your insight. Greed seems to always be the base
Thankyou Dr. Razzaque for everything you do. Trump reminds of the eerie 1962 movie The Manchurian Candidate, except it's real.
I'm so happy & thankful to have you here Dr. Razzaque = we need more of your kind for sure
this explanation of his enablers comes as a genuine revelation. i really look forward to your program. thank you very much for taking the time to break all this destructive chaos and complete lack of integrity down for us.
You're most welcome 🙏
Thanks, Dr Russell, for putting all this in such clear words! I've been thinking the same for a long time!
You are very welcome
"Untold damage....economic lunacy."
Thank you, Dr. R! I was glad to see so many people who came out with signs. I hope I live to see the recovery.
I hope so too!
Thank you for sharing your expertise! Your insight has helped me stay focused on doing the right thing.
The trouble is, those of us who are NOT Americans are getting thoroughly hacked off at the damage he's doing to the world! NO ONE has a right to do what he's doing, and it makes me so angry that those closest to him are cheering him on!
...to make a better tomorrow together...I embrace your phrase ! 🌷
Excellent! One good thing that's happened in the past few years is that I've been able to better show my children examples of what is weak (punching down) and what is strong (lifting up).

Morally sound people seem to have a certain naivete about sociopaths. They assume other people are like themselves or strongly wish they were, so they delude themselves. This flaw needs to be overcome to understand and address these sick monsters.

Re: Members of Congress.
This is what happens when the electorate is misinformed by the fourth estate, and when they confuse followers for leaders and vote them into office.
It appears many in the current crop would be unemployable were it not for their postions within their political parties. As my dear old Dad used to say, "You wouldn't feed half the bastards!"
Actually calling it "lunacy" is much too benign a word. It's an act of global economic terrorism.
“Thrown out into the streets from their homes”…profound indeed. I just can’t help but wonder if one of his cronies is caught out and about in public that harm will come to one of them. If things keep going the way they are I can’t help but think extreme behavior is next.
Exactly!
Let's look at the photo negative of Dr. Razzaque's theory. Name one Republican/Trump/MAGA candle bearer who IS morally, emotionally and spiritually robust. Name one that ISN'T self-absorbed, greedy and consumed with envy and spite.
Good job Dr. Keep telling it like it is.
My father, before his passing, was a huge Trumper, so I can give a little insight as to what I saw in his support.
I think a large reason why Trump has such a devoted, fervent and cultish following is that he’s not afraid to be tribal. I think most people are sick and tired of being held to an expectation that they should be moderate in their politics. That we should listen to the other side and if we disagree, we should do so respectfully. That it’s simply a difference of opinion.
No, most people, deep down, wish to say _”To hell with that!”,_ and express their utter contempt and loathing of the other side openly, but it was always considered generally politically incorrect to do so…..right up until Trump came along and gave full license to be able to. People _love_ someone who isn’t afraid to come out and be crass and express their explicit hatred of the other that THEY also hate. That aspect transcends politics and becomes personality.
Trump does this without compunction. He revels in making his dislike for the other side known, and encourages it in all who feel like him. He wants to fight, and when people are so passionate in their ideological identities, they will swear their allegiance to someone who they see as a fighter for them who is not afraid to hold back.
That is because he allows people to be crass, boorish, uncivil. THEY WERE ALWAYS LIKE THAT. I don't go along with people being that way. It's just an excuse to be awful. Germany also gave people an excuse to be evil and excuse the inexcusable, didn't work out so well for them....eventually. I refuse to live that way. I refuse to excuse MAGAs behavior. Some people are just awful. What is really inexcusable is that most of these people pretend to be religious or Christians, they behave the exact opposite of what Jesus taught. There really must be more people who are kind and civil than otherwise or we are all doomed.
Yes, agree that Trump supporters don't care what he does FOR them, but what he does AGAIST to the people they mutually hate. That's why they are so united, under hatred, and that's why they never give up on Trump as long as he keeps hating people his supporters hate (or they think they hate). That's how they measure Trump's success.
MAGA: "He tells it like it is" = he hates what we hate and allows us to say it out loud.
Yes, it unfortunatelly sounds as "logicall" as well sad and scary. I wonder how can this hatred ecpresses by Trump on behalf of trumpism-followers, who mostly regard themselves as trully Christians come from?! Is it only about power and greed? I want to believe that not all of Trump's workers around him in goverment or among those poor trumpism-followers have grown up in toxic families or toxic religious enviromments?
Thank you so much Dr Russell, for your well explained and easy to follow videos. Your expert professional analyses are hugely important, especially at this time. They are much appreciated. Blessings to you
You are very welcome
An interesting question might be how the 'Eff you, I got mine' mindset got into people. It's noticeable in immigrant groups, coming from very different cultures, coming to the US and in many cases almost immediately adopt this mind set. Case in point are the Venezualan immigrants largely joining trump. 'Deport everyone else, but not me!'.
Dr Razzaque, Thank you for another very insightful video. Regarding the fear of the Republicans in Congress:
1) If they are afraid of being primaried, they need to realize that after all the carnage they have already caused, most are NOT going to be re-elected. They aren't showing up for town halls and their constituants are angry.
2) If they are afraid, I ask of them to show the same bravery that they ask of our Armed Forces. They ask our service people to risk laying down their lives for our country. Our military are not responsible for the conflicts and wars that are started, but they still give their all to fight to protect us. The Republicans in Congress, however, are to blame for this horror show and the destruction of democracy. They completely enabled Trump. They could have stopped all this craziness long ago before it escalated, but they were too cowardly, too greedy and too selfish. They can still band together and impeach him very quickly. The world is waiting. I ask them to draw from the bravery and example of the esteemed people who serve and their families, who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
People follow charismatic leaders, believe whatever is profitable, while following their hearts. We live in a world where truth is willingly sacrificed on the altar of convenience.
For me, trump has never been charismatic!! He’s just loud and crass and basically makes no sense at all when he speaks!

I'm not a psychiatrist, but it seems to me that authoritarianism in the family and constant and overbearing negative criticism of children from parents is quite widespread. The idea that this kind of experience is at the root of the many fragile egos we see here is quite plausible. Guidance, not control, letting your child develop their own identity, not imposing your will on them, making sure they develop self-confidence, not tearing them down all the time, letting them determine their own life-goals: this tends to lead to a better outcome. Authoritarianism in the family should be discouraged just as physical child abuse currently is.
Well said!

Excellent explanation for these spineless politicians! The other thing that amazes me is the rampant and wide spread lying! Guess who made that popular!!!
Exactly!
I think low self esteem is one of the most destructive things in humanity. Self destructive and outwardly destructive.
And it's weird because they will usually do bad things that actually lower their self esteem instead of choosing to do good things that would actually raise their self esteem. Their choices are reinforcing their idea that they are not a good or worthy person.
This ties in to Trump planning a huge North Korean-style military parade in Washington on his own birthday. Such narcissism.
Trump is a charismatic character and he seems to mesmerize people with his simple but effective style. I think many people are taken in by this and maybe they don't even realise it's happening to them.
What I want to know is, where is Trump's family? During his first term they were always there, being given roles in his cabinet. Where are they now?
I think they know what's coming, so they're staying away
Look forward to your videos.

I don't know how this Global Recession and perhaps Global Depression will affect me and my family. I'm now very anxious and moody, always needing certainty in my life and not knowing how to deal with this. This is the 1st time in 30 yrs I don't have a psychiatrist because I move to another city. In the past, I would take large sums of medications for the need of wanting to die. Now I'm sitting here endlessly scrolling trying to get as much information of Global Economy as I can finally realizing I can learn myself out of this. I'm 70 yrs old terrified of my and my children's future along with all of my grandchildren's future.
