On Friday, a New York Times headline prompted one figure from President Donald Trump\u2019s orbit to declare that the chief executive is a \u201csociopath\u201d who is not \u201ccapable of grief.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is according to attorney George Conway, a Democratic congressional candidate who was formerly married to Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway. He was responding to a Times headline that read, \u201cHow a Grieving Trump Decided to Back Graham\u2019s Sister for Senate,\u201d in which it was asserted that the president was \u201cuncharacteristically emotional about the death of his friend,\u201d recently departed Senator Lindsey Graham. Conway, however, wasn\u2019t buying it. <\/p>\n

\u201cTruly absurd headline,\u201d Conway posted<\/u>. \u201cAnd most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accusations that Trump has some form of severe \u201canti-social personality disorder<\/u>\u201d have been frequent over the course of his political career. While such assertions were once limited primarily to suggestions of extreme narcissism, in recent months, many have argued that Trump may be afflicted with a more dangerous disorder. <\/p>\n

In March, for example, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie argued<\/u> that Trump is a \u201cpsychopath\u201d \u201cin the clinical sense, asserting that Trump \u201cdoesn\u2019t appear to recognize that other people exist. That other people have feelings. That their concerns ought to be considered. [He is] someone who has no awareness of the existence of other minds.\u201d Then last week, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich claimed<\/u> Trump is a sociopath \u201cwho will stop at nothing to get the results he wants.\u201d The very same day, bestselling Trump biographer Seth Abramson wrote<\/u>, \u201cHowever it came to pass \u2014 childhood trauma, genetics, dementia \u2014 this U.S. president is now functionally a psychopath. He lives in his own reality. He converses only with himself. All America is now downstream from a madman who’s not listening to anyone or anything but his own madness.\u201d <\/p>\n

There have been many such claims as of late. And what\u2019s more, Conway isn\u2019t alone<\/u> in suggesting the inaccuracy of the Times\u2019 headline. <\/p>\n

Producer and Emmy Award-winner Mark Concannon<\/u> asked of the Times, \u201cWhy do you continue to parrot this Trump pressroom garbage? He wasn\u2019t \u2018grieving\u2019 about Lindsey Graham. He just knows his sister will be as big a sycophant as her brother was and do anything he tells her to do. That\u2019s why he endorsed her. Full stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others have argued that the headline is outright nonsense. As National security analyst Marcy Wheeler<\/u> noted, “If you were struck by the description of Trump the sociopath making a decision (to appoint Lindsey’s sister, which decision Gov McMaster had already made) [because] of something NYT called ‘grief,’ the passage on the left precedes the passage on the right in the story.\u201d In other words, the Times\u2019 own story admits that Trump wasn\u2019t acting out of some \u201cemotional\u201d state, but out of shrewd political calculation. <\/p>\n
