SUMMARY: A psychosocracy is rule by the psychotic. Psychosis is any behavior or mental process that does not align sufficiently with reality. By that definition, Trump is psychotic. He doesn’t have a full cabinet, if you know what I mean. Instances of his decisions that defy reality should be documented. This post introduces an irregularly occurring regular feature of the blog investigating these psychotic decisions.

KEY WORDS: Psychosis, Trump, Psychosocracy, Decision Making, Reality, Narcissism, National Guard, Washington DC, Governance, Violent Crime Rates

COMMENT: What do you think of Trump’s mental health? What are some questionable decisions that he’s made that might could be examples of his detachment from reality?

Meme: Halcyon Days

Back in the halcyon days of yore, during the innocent and quaint days of the Resistance and the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s bumbling inept attempt at corruption and authoritarianism when it didn’t feel like we were fighting for our very lives, we here at the Psy focused mainly on the effects of the Orange Caricature’s extreme narcissism and to a lesser extent, his malignant sadistic psychopathy and his executive dysfunction. Now that shit got real as the kids don’t say anymore, and we really are fighting for our very lives least we are departed to El Salvador, I think it is time to focus on a much more destructive aspect of the Orange TACO Stain’s drool, er, rule, his psychosis.

As we wrote last week, when you don’t deal with reality, we call that person crazy for lack of a better term. And, we reviewed several instances where Trump clearly isn’t dealing with reality. Worse, though, if you are out of touch with reality for long enough, reality will bite you in the ass, to paraphrase Obama. When an entire country indulges a leader in their delusions and illusions, the country itself risks severe consequences.

Psychotic Decision Making by Trump

For Trump 2.0, This Time With Vengeance, we need to be looking at what can only be termed the psychotic behavior of Trump, his true believers, his sycophants, and the psychopaths out for personal gain.

Psychosis Defined

Psychosis itself is not a disease, but rather a collection of generally deeply distressing symptoms, where people may struggle to distinguish reality from normal perception. They might hear voices that are not there, hold false beliefs with unshakeable conviction, or find their thoughts becoming jumbled and incoherent.

Treatment For Psychosis May Be ‘Fundamentally Flawed’, Study Finds by Sameer Jauhar on 31 August 2025 Science Alert

When I read this definition of psychosis, I focused on the hold false beliefs with unshakeable conviction part. It describes Trump’s insistance on tariffs, the conspiracy theories about the 2020 elections, and insistance that crime is rampant, especially in the so-called “Blue Cities,” which is only a dog whistle.

Why are we hyper focused on Biden's normal aging and not examining Trump's gross signs and symptoms of dementia?

Narcissism and Psychosis

We don’t need to argue about whether Trump has some nefarious plan about distracting us from what he’s really doing because it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he is doing crazy shit that isn’t based in reality. Also, the Orange Caricature doesn’t think ahead. He lives strictly in the moment. He is pure instinct and reaction. He doesn’t have guiding principles or beliefs other than the core crazy of his life: What is good for him is good for the world.

The narcissist’s core is that they are the only person that matters. We are all just bit players on their world stage. You don’t get crazier than that, especially when you let it run unchecked as we’re doing now.

We are living in a psychososcracy, rule by a psychotic person or persons.

The National Guard in DC, Psychosocracy in Action

Has the Dark Tetrad taken over the Republican Party?
The Coming Psychopathocracy: How the Dark Tetrad has taken over the Republican Party

Perhaps the clearest example of all of this is his deployment of national guard troops to Washington D.C. to combat the rampant crime there. They aren’t fighting crime, they’re picking up trash in the national parks! Five hundred bags of it, if the MSM is to be believed. It costs a million dollars a day to keep the guard in DC picking up trash. According to DC residents, they’re only seen in tourist areas and the subway stations. Hunh.

There are real federal law enforcement surged into DC, and they are making arrests, but they are for things like fare evasion or possession. They may be making arrests, but they amount to little more than harassment of the residents in primarily Black areas and will only affect crime rates for as long as they are actually there.

So, we’re spending more than a million dollars per day to keep the national guard and federal law enforcement in DC when the DoJ reports that violent crime in the city has reached a thirty year low BEFORE any of this started.

That is what makes it so bad for us as a nation. We are expending resources to solve a problem that the local governing authority has already solved. And, that is not dealing with reality, so it doesn’t matter why Trump is doing it. It only matters that it is so far removed from what is actually happening.

As a government, if you’re not solving problems, then you’re compounding the problems that exist. Trump’s government isn’t addressing any of the issues facing the country. That’s the problem.
