The Independent says

Donald Trump has more psychopathic traits than Adolf Hitler, according to a new study.

Using a standard psychometric tool, Dr Kevin Dutton of Oxford University ranked both presidential candidates and a series of historical world figures.
Trump scored 171, achieving two more points than Adolf Hitler, after experts gave their suggestions on how each individual would have scored against a series of questions.
Saddam Hussein topped the list, scoring 189, while presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton received a score of 152, placing her in the top 20 per cent.

The method, known as the Psychopathtic Personality Inventory – Revised (PPI-R), scores candidates based on eight traits, including fearlessness, stress immunity and cold-heartedness.
Study author Dr Kevin Dutton said: "Both great and terrible leaders score higher than the general population for psychopathic traits, but it is the mix of those traits that determines success.

It's evident that the current USA candidates are the centre of some quite interesting claims.

Some "experts" filled in some answers to what they thought Trump would give to questions and that's scientific fact?

Psychologists are much like philosophers...When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he/she says something that is not trivial then it is false. I would say that Trump being psycho falls into the former category, as far as discernment goes. However, Trump being a nutjob will be anything but trivial if he gets into the White House.

I wonder what The Independent would say about a predator and rapist like Bill Clinton? Or a career criminal like Hillary Clinton? My guess is that Hitler would be considered an amateur in comparison to that dual.

It's all well and good to have experts speculating on how each candidate would answer questions but it really proves nothing, and leaves the question of whether the experts had political leanings of their own that might have influenced their judgment. With the best will in the world few people are entirely impartial, especially where characters as polarising as Donald and Hillary are concerned.

I'm sure they'd say "Don't drink the Republican propaganda Kool Aid" as your references to rape and career crime appear to.
