A brilliant and incisive analysis of American politics in the photography era.
Honestly, the fact that the best presidents are clearly diagnosable reflects more of a modern over-diagnosis and over-pathologization of normal (and frequently beneficial) personality traits as illnesses than failings on their part.
You bring up a great point about beneficial traits. A lot of world leaders and top CEOs have definite psychopath personalities, which unfortunately can prove useful in some areas.
