The Manic Personality and the Trump Presidency: The Governance of Donald Trump His Followers: The Trumpets and the November Elections

By Peter A Magaro

This book reveals, The Manic Personality, the leader and major force behind the current political reality. The point of this book is that social actions do not occur in a vacuum devoid of people. It is the wants and needs of people that fill the social stage until they coalesce into a recognizable form which is the shape of a public societal group. The decision for social action originates under their skin; only later does the social group become recognized with a defined leader who defines the time.

I will first describe the psychological processes that define the Manic Personality. I will describe how this Personality Type feels and thinks and why President Trump is a perfect example of the type. I will then propose that the Trump administration is the ONLY form of governance that could emerge from this personality and only by understanding this personality type will we be able to understand what Trump will do now and in the future. I will then demonstrate that his supporters can also be grouped together on the basis of certain identifiable characteristics which produces a specific personality type.

When the members of a type band together into a social movement such as Trump supporters, or in large numbers to form a societal institution such as a particular kind of church, their personality is manifested in the procedures and goals of an identifiable social force. Consequently, a large counterpoint running throughout this book are the Trump supporters, the Trumpets. They are of the Depressive Personality and serve as a counterpoint to the Manic Personality but also the dramatic background of his presidency and consequently a critical factor in the 2020 election. Therefore, I will be describing not only an individual as President but also a social group as his followers.

This understanding of the personality structure of Donald Trump and his followers allows me to predict the electoral vote in November and, more importantly, the Trump counteraction to the results. However, no matter how dramatic and serious the social situation, in the end it all comes back to understanding the posturing of one personality type, The Manic Personality.
