One of the functions of a president is that they are like a superego figure for a society. They’re the leader. We’re all in the same pack, if you will, as Americans. Internally we have a set of rules and regulations that the president embodies. As a kind of superego, the president is the person who says what’s right and wrong. Most people’s superegos dictate that we cannot go around doing whatever we want. We may have certain impulses and feelings but we know how to resist them because they’re hurtful to other people or they’re illegal or what have you. Donald Trump gives people permission to do such things, to be unrestrained.
That is why his supporters love him. Trump does not believe in “political correctness.” A person just can’t just walk around and attack people or say negative things about people. You have to be proper, thoughtful and respectful. But Trump is saying, “You don’t have to do that. I’m sick of being respectful.” Because Donald Trump is giving people permission to do whatever they want, that makes him an immoral and amoral leader. Alcoholics drink in order to narcotize their superego so that they can act without guilt. In that way Donald Trump is the ultimate glass of vodka for his followers.
