Donald Trump is not a psychopath, according to Jon Ronson. But he’s probably a narcissist.
“The outward manifestation of psychopathy and narcissism is quite similar but it feels like there’s a volcano of emotions going on underneath Trump’s surface,” the British journalist says, author of the bestselling The Psychopath Test who embedded deeply in the world of Trump during his first run for office.
On Q+A, Ronson explains what that volcano of emotion might mean for the United States and the world. And how fringe conspiracists, and the social media platforms Australia is now trying to regulate, changed politics forever – amid fevered speculation that a federal election may be just around the corner.
Plus the treacherous diplomatic path for Anthony Albanese and Kevin Rudd on the US, China and regional trade; the ongoing fight against social media capture and gambling advertising; and does the Liberal Party still have a women problem?
Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEDT on ABC TV and ABC iview.
