For all the visible damage the president has done to the nation’s standing, things are much worse below the surface.

Trump seems incapable of restraining himself from insulting other leaders.
His slogans hark back to the isolationists of 1940, and foreign leaders know it. 
He can read speeches written for him ,but he cannot himself articulate a worldview that goes beyond a teenager’s bluster.

He lays out his resentments, insecurities, and obsessions on Twitter for all to see, opening up a gold mine to foreign governments seeking to understand and manipulate the American president.

Foreign governments have adapted. They flatter Trump outrageously. 

Their emissaries stay at his hotels and offer the Trump Organization abundant concessions (39 trademarks approved by China alone since Trump took office, including one for an escort service). They take him to military parades; they talk tough-guy-to-tough-guy; they show him the kind of deference that only someone without a center can crave. And so he flip-flops: “so, so out of control, so dangerous”  after visits to Mar-a-Lago,  from being the leader of a parasitic country to being “a gentleman” who “wants to do the right thing but in the end all generally goes back to bashing, for doing “NOTHING” to help us.)

Trump unrestrained is of course a frightening prospect. His instincts are not reliable—if they were, he and his campaign would have kept their distance from Russian operatives. A man who has presided over failed casinos, a collapsed airline, and a sham university is not someone who knows when to step back from the brink. His domestic political circumstances, already bad, seem likely to deteriorate further, which will only make him more angry, and perhaps more apt to take risks. In a fit of temper or in the grip of spectacular misjudgment—possibly influenced by what he’s just seen on TV—he could stumble into or launch an uncontrollable war.

When he does face crisis, whether or not it is of his own making, "We The People" will discover just how weak his hand is, because no one—friends or enemies, the American public or foreign leaders—take anything that he promises or threatens at face value and another Donald Trump emerges: the Trump who paid $25 million to the victims of Trump University, who rages at The New York Times and then truckles to its reporters. 
Like most bullies, he can be stared down. But when he folds, American foreign policy will fold with him.

this dangerous and dispiriting chapter in American history will end, in eight years or four—or perhaps in two or even one, if Trump is impeached or removed under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. 

But what will follow? Will the United States recover within a few years, as it did from the disgrace of Richard Nixon’s resignation? 

Alas, that is unlikely. Even barring cataclysmic events, we will be living with the consequences of Trump’s tenure as chief executive and commander in chief for decades. Damage will continue to appear long after he departs the scene.

Americans, after trying every other alternative, can always be counted on to do the right thing, Winston Churchill supposedly said. But who will count on that now, after the victories of a man like Trump? Other countries interpret Trump’s election as America’s repudiation of its role as guarantor of world order. 

An elite consensus that spans both parties means a government that does not shift radically from administration to administration in its commitments to allies or to human rights, in its opposition to enemies, or in its support for international institutions; that has a sense of direction and purpose that transcends partisan politics; that can develop the political appointees our system uniquely depends on to staff the upper levels of government. 

As long as that elite is honest, able, open to new talent and to considered course alterations, and tolerant of dissent, it can provide consistency and stability.

America’s astonishing resilience may rescue it once again, particularly if Trump does not finish his first term. But an equally likely scenario is that Trump will leave key government institutions weakened or corrupted, America’s foreign-policy establishment sharply divided, and America’s position in the world stunted. An America lacking confidence, coupled with the rise of undemocratic powers, populist movements on the right and left, and failing states, is the kind of world few Americans remember. It would be like the world of the late 1920s or early 1930s: disorderly and unstable, but with much worse to follow.

There are many reasons to be appalled by President Trump, including his disregard for constitutional norms and decent behavior. But watching this unlikeliest of presidents strut on the treacherous stage of international politics is different from following the daily domestic chaos that is the Trump administration. Hearing him bully and brag, boast and bluster, threaten and lie, one feels a kind of dizziness, a sensation that underneath the throbbing pulse of routine scandal lies the potential for much worse. The kind of sensation, in fact, that accompanies dangerously high blood pressure, just before a sudden, excruciating pain.

God reminds "Clout" justice: life on earth was never intended to be a game in whoever possessed the most {informal} 'Noun' stature will be the only ones allowed on all playing fields to triumph.

We can't hide behind a fake administration where God has called us to reach out to people.

Isolationism will cost nation spiritually. 

"If the foot should say, 'Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body" (1 Cor. 12:15, NIV).

Thomas Jefferson had a period of social isolation. 

And as he explained in a letter to his daughter Polly, the ill effects were significant:

“I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. ... I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my own mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it lead to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.”

Without others, we begin to collapse upon ourselves. As our world becomes smaller, our issues grow bigger.

Amidst the pressures of life, administration default is to take the easy road.

Ironically, community is the perfect example: When connected with others, life goes well. People can see beyond their struggles and maintain a healthy perspective. When disconnected from others, life begins to stall. People get absorbed by struggles and lose perspective.

Take the honest inventory. Every choice has a cost. Community takes more up front, but the effort pays for itself. Isolation takes less up front, but winds up paying the steeper price. 

A free society can only be built by people educated into the responsibilities of freedom. Without this, liberty becomes lawlessness, which in turn leads to a new tyranny as people turn to a strong leader who promises order even at the cost of freedom. Thus history repeats itself and the new dawn turns out to be no more than a prelude to the return of old, dark night begins. 

There is no short cut from liberation to liberty. Freedom is a journey, not a sudden achievement. The biblical lesson of the long walk to freedom, which is that what a nation teaches its children is as significant as the arsenal of weapons it holds. It’s when the war on the battlefield of Business party is over that the task of education begins.

Does recent G.O.P "Congressional" action where Ryan stands (Questionably) resigned yet allowed to lobby on behalf of an equally questionable ADMINISTRATION being investigated under threat of impeachments for none disclosure Red Flag that chambers Bias may have deployed as Last Ditch campaign promise effort a conspiracy to save the Business Parties access through a majority congress as supremacy holder of Tax Payers (check book) monies? 

I guess Truth will reveal itself under time and then all shall know.

What Is the Dark Triad?

Some incumbents have personality traits that make it disagreeable or difficult to deal with them.
They may be volatile, arrogant, domineering, but, with integral management political parties could neutralize those unsavory elements of behavior to abide by The Constitution as established in "We The People"  is primacy of authority over business affairs and both defines and limits that power.
But some other behaviors and characteristics can be seriously damaging as well if someone displays a toxic combination of these traits: he can undermine his colleagues in a lasting way, and he can potentially poison and destroy an entire team.

Psychologists have identified three traits that make up the sinister sounding "Dark Triad": narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.

In this session we will explore the three elements of the Dark Triad, identify the behaviors associated with each of them, and look at how they might impact the Democratic Process. 

The Dark Triad is a phrase you're unlikely to have heard, but it is one of the "buzzwords" in the world of psychology. 

• Narcissism: narcissism comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a hunter who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, and drowned. Narcissistic people can be selfish, boastful, arrogant, lacking in empathy, and hypersensitive to criticism.
• Machiavellianism: the word comes from the renowned 16th century Italian politician and diplomat Niccolo Machiavelli. He earned notoriety when his 1513 book, "The Prince," was interpreted as an endorsement of the dark arts of cunning and deceit in diplomacy. Traits associated with Machiavellianism include duplicity, manipulation, self-interest, and a lack of both emotion and morality.
• Psychopathy: personality traits associated with psychopathy include a lack of empathy or remorse, antisocial behavior, and being manipulative and volatile. It's important to note that there is a distinction between psychopathic traits and being a psychopath, with its commonly held association with criminal violence.

Traditionally, psychologists have identified Dark Triad traits by measuring different personality types separately.

However, in 2010, Dr Peter Jonason, then assistant professor of psychology at the University of Western Florida, and his co-author, Gregory Webster, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Florida, developed the "Dirty Dozen" rating scale, or a 12-item methodology, to measure Dark Triad traits.

Jonason and Webster's measure asks people to rate themselves against these questions:

• I tend to manipulate others to get my way.
• I have used deceit or lied to get my way.
• I have used flattery to get my way.
• I tend to exploit others towards my own end.
• I tend to lack remorse.
• I tend to not be too concerned with morality or the morality of my actions.
• I tend to be callous or insensitive.
• I tend to be cynical.
• I tend to want others to admire me.
• I tend to want others to pay attention to me.
• I tend to seek prestige or status.
• I tend to expect special favors from others.

At its basic level, an individual would be rated from, for example, one to seven on each of the 12 tests, giving a possible score of 12 to 84. The higher the score, the higher the probability of having Dark Triad tendencies.

It's difficult to find anything positive to say about the impact Dark Triad traits would have in the political workplace arena. Someone with such a psychological make-up would probably display an undesirable behavior, such as being aggressive, volatile, selfish, and deceitful, or a combination of such traits. 

In his 2013 paper, The Dark Side of Personality at Work, Dr. Seth Spain, assistant professor at Binghampton University School of Management in New York, said there was evidence of a "fairly robust relationship between Machiavellianism and unethical decision-making in organizations."

Being "triadic," that is exhibiting all three of the Dark Triad tendencies, can help people bully or manipulate their way to the top of an organization – think greedy Gordon Gecko, in the movie Wall Street.

Manipulative people often good at hiding their behavior or actions, but there are signs voters can look out for, such as someone who won't take no for an answer, who always excuses their hurtful behavior, or presents a different "face" to different people to serve there purpose or purposes. 

So when concerned voters challenge a suspected manipulative incumbent or candidate, “We The People” must be specific about what actions have been spotted, how they are harming team America and Make crystal clear that their behavior(S) must change, they will be held accountable, and when appropriate common correlations between them promoting dishonesty and a lack of humility behaviors will evolve disciplinary certainties that include removals of varied people plus selves from the political arena(S).

Clearly, these traits put the desires of "dark side" individuals above the needs of America, the people within it, and those it serves, and this can destroy good democracy, particularly when that person is in and represents varied leadership roles.

Too much work involved one may say? 

Which would be less laborsome in any long term sense: stick with the status quo in blind faith or apply beforehand those necessary integral ounces of prevention that realistically Proviso pounds of ethical cures?

The story of human existence and culture and awareness is one of learning and growing and evolving into new understandings, and religion is not exempt from this process.

The issue of the ontology of “the satan” is not really that important. Whatever the cosmic powers of evil are, believe they exist, and the best way to fight them is to simply follow the way of Jesus.

Jesus reveals his Abba as never coming to steal, kill, or destroy, but only to bring life. “For this reason the Son of God was manifest, to destroy the works the devil.” (1 John 3:8)
