Dr. Gabor Maté | Donald Trump's Childhood Explains His Worldview

Dr. Gabor Maté speaks on how our minds create the world around us and how Trump's damaged childhood contributed to his worldview.

Dr. Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of all types of addiction—from high-functioning workaholics to drug addicts. His radical findings—based on years of work with patients challenged by stress, addictions and mental illness—are reframing how we view human development.

I like Dr. Gabor's analogy because changing ourselves is the remedy! However, I still like Dr. Breeding's understanding because it is an additional help.

"I think it is important to remember that everyone has good within them, but we have a tremendous vulnerability to conditioning and being hurt, and being thrown off course from our true nature. The natural emotional tone of a human being is zestful enjoyment of life. The natural relationship between any two human beings is loving affection, communication and co-operation.  However, this situation quickly becomes corrupted by our civil lives. Civil life is corrupted because those with wealth and power have made our lives stressful and difficult by their greed. But if you only focus on those negative things then you miss all the kindness, generosity, and all the love. You should want to live your life prepared for encounters with those who will exploit your vulnerabilities, so that you yourself won't lose your true nature." (By psychologist John Breeding)

Bullish.... I thought the opposite of what the world became - this idea of creating the world with your beliefs is partly true but seriously an esoteric construct for weak people who like to blame the poor for their poverty. It’s simply stupid and immature

Gabor I think your view of Trump's view of the world has come to you secondhand. If you watched him you would see something else.

A GOOD DOCTOR DOESN'T JUDGE A PERSON HE'S NEVER MET or treated
You're judging a person on the media, liberals lies, FBI LIES and the bullying of Trump and his response to the attacks? Spend A-day in his shoes and then tell me what you would do. And try being honest with your thought process and do your homework.

You have obviously only listened to the cultivated narrative of how the media has portrayed Donald Trump through creative editing of his words. Please base your assumptions on the full of his speeches before you pick apart his meaning and as you are not his confidant it is not your place to make such judgments on his mental condition.
