This type of out-of-the-air analysis works in reverse. (Or on other presidents, as mrbilfl already noted.)

Gingrich's failure to impeach -- and symbolically castrate -- his chief political opponent (Bill Clinton) in the 1990s has manifested itself as a functional insanity with regard to the current president.

Ronald Reagan's inability to win or succeed top film roles led him into a delusional fantasy that he could portray a President of the United States. He was authentically dishonest.

Dinesh D'Souza's early life in India and migration to the U.S. have created a fundamental dichotomy in his pysche which can only be resolved through hyper-identification with idealized American values. As a result, he is of neither world and is consequently insane.

"Authentically dishonest."

Let that sink in for a minute.
