Trump is a classic bully so you basically need to face him down - any appeasement will simply earn his (justified) contempt, and he'll double down. China showed the way on Trump Tariff War 2.0 - no k1ssing 8ss, no call, no nonsense - just authentic reciprocal action.

The problem is he’s a bully with all the power and zero consequences. Look at Harvard, but pretend they don’t have billions of endowments.

I thought it was expressly forbidden in the US psychological professional body to remote diagnose famous people?

They're doing what they are expressly not meant to do. It's shaped like a duck, it quacks like a duck...

Trump is rapidly shaping up as the greatest unsolved problem of the current era.

I don't think TFA has the answer though; nothing concrete is proposed.

Coping strategies like "keep the faith" and "gray rocking" may succeed (or not) at an interpersonal level, but don't transpose into anything meaningful at scale.

Politics, jurisprudence and journalism are where solutions are most needed but there's nothing on the horizon, afaics.
