I probably speak "Southern" but "psycho" does not at all mean "psychopath" or "sociopath" to me. For example, people with manic-depression disorder or schizophrenics can make for murderers. But these people, unless they are also sociopaths or psychopaths are not dangerous as leaders. People say crazy things but a lie implies intentional deceit with a socially unacceptable motive to harm someone with the lie.
The method of the Internet Court of Lies is precisely designed to dissect a suspected (fiat) lie of any kind. In particular, you can see what other people think about your claim that someone is divisively lying with intent and a socially unacceptable motive. We are actually doing a public trial this next Wednesday at noon EST on one of Trump's divisive lies in this article at this public trial this Wednesday. You can see how it works to have other people as jurors and a judge to dissect my claim of a divisive lie.
You can also claim the person's lie proves he is a psychopath or sociopath. As I said in my article, the difference between the two is not as important as the similiarity -- the lack of empathy -- in terms of identifying the personality disorder of sociopathy or psychopathy (the latter being murderous if they have the power to get away with it).
I can name numbers of public figures that are plainly not sociopaths or psychopaths. A young one is Conor Lamb (my Rep in Congress). I've never seen him lie. He will be silent or will say that he cannot say, rather than lie divisively. He never says an ugly thing about other people. Again, he will say things that can be seen by someone as divisive, but they also happen to be true. I never see him intentionally lie.
Sociopaths may make up wild impossible lies. But, as I said in the article, you need to see if they persist with their divisive lie despite the factual untruth being pointed out.
Again, can the person be trusted in a position of authority over your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That is what this test is about.
Sociopathy and Psychopathy are chronic, incurable, lifetime, disorders. Not particularly genetic, but learned as Weems pointed out in his biography of Geo. Washington.
In stark contrast, manic-depressive disorders, also possibly quite dangerous, are almost invariably acute. If the person does not kill himself or others, he/she will get better. And, if he lives through it, he will usually be a better person for it.
Schizophrenics (lack of contact with reality) is almost the definition of "psycho". They are afraid of people, If anything, they can have too much empathy and will act that way. A schizophrenic that is not also a sociopath will often walk up to you to apologize for no particular reason that makes any sense to you. He will unintentionally lie about what he thinks you think about him. He will also not divisively lie about others. Except, he may say others are out to get him (but, notably, not you). He will however tell you why he is so bad that you should never trust him. Similarly for a manic-depressive. Schizophrenia is generally regarded as having a genetic disposition. These people can make very sad cases and be quite bright.
Neither manic-depressives nor schizophrenics are likely to run for executive office. Unless they are also sociopaths. In which case, run.
As I said about Trump: he is a dislexic narcassistic schizoid psychopath. The last three are, I believe, universal for people who become socially destructive, murderous, dictators. They divisively lie to collect all liberty to themselves, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE LIBERTY OF OTHERS. As Chaplin pointed out in his speech in 1939:
