-> Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

The Unfiltered Id: The id operates on the "pleasure principle", demanding immediate gratification, driven by primal desires for power, wealth, and praise. Freud would have seen Trump's public persona as pure, unfiltered id"speaking his mind without a filter, acting on impulse, and constantly seeking public adoration to satiate an insatiable ego.
An Atrophied Superego: The superego represents the conscience, morality, and internalized societal rules. Freud would note that Trump exhibits a striking lack of guilt, remorse, or adherence to institutional norms, suggesting a weakened or highly underdeveloped superego.
Ego Defense Mechanisms: When the id's desires clash with reality, the ego deploys defense mechanisms to protect the psyche. Freud would diagnose Trump's reliance on projection (accusing rivals of one's own perceived flaws) and denial (refusing to accept uncomfortable facts) as classic tactics used to ward off shame.
Primary Narcissism: Freud defined this as the normal, self-absorbed state of infancy. He would argue that Trump's inability to empathize, his focus on personal loyalty, and his need for external validation are signs of an arrested psychic development where the world is viewed strictly as an extension of the self.
Freud would not have viewed this as a disease to be cured, but as the raw architecture of Trump's personality, driven by unconscious mechanisms established in early childhood.
