Millions of words have been written and said trying to understand what makes Trump tick. What if the answer is as simple as a psychological diagnosis of Clinical Psychopathy? This key trait of psychopaths explains a lot about Trump. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen youtu.be/9QYePjYTP94

Gold. A lot of people love it. Trump is obsessed with it. The book reveals that The President of the United States used superglue to attach gold decorations to his office fireplace. Swan describes what it’s like to walk in to the golden Oval Office. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/dLXsLYwShpk
