Big Trouble in Turkey
We now have BIG Trouble in Turkey, a new Mack Daddy Dark Triad candidate earns his score today. Yes, the Psycho Evaluation Krewe has been called together after the Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu was arrested and 1,200+ protestors demonstrating were also arrested on 3/25/2025.
Today we are scoring Turkish President Erdoğan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has a history of dark triad actions against his citizens. So we are pulling together documented history of his reign of control in Turkey and the latest news.
This requires an Excel spread sheet. Each person in the Krewe gives their scores independent of the others. I then calculate an average for each of the 18 categories listed. We review actions, against the authors Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Timothy Snyder, Hannah Arendt and others in their works on authoritarian behaviors and the dark triad traits. The team also looks at the media images they create and the untruths they tell and/or have told.
The Categories for a dark triad type – The dark Eighteen categories we score on

How we Score
We use a scale from zero to ten. At Zero – subject shows no behavior in the area. A score of five, the subject is showing about 50% of the time these bad behaviors. For a score of ten, the subject is showing these behaviors 100% with proof. Our scored are behavior based on video’s, court cases and testimony of victims or crimes.
Examples
In “Works to get rid of opponents”, we look for how a subject like Putin deals with opponents. He has a strings of deaths and imprisonments. With “Cofactors of using sex and punishment”, we look at Trump’s MO in sexual abuse per the E. Jean Carol case. Or Muammar Gaddafi female student sexual torture chamber as documented by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. Lastly, we look at Mack Daddy behaviors like Elon Musk having 14 children (what a man).

Comments from the Psycho Krewe
- Ekrem İmamoğlu was sentenced to two years in prison for calling the Turkish Supreme Election Council “fools”. Really!
- Does not like criticism – he uses ritual humiliation by jailing those against him!
- Erdoğan’s presidency has been marked by democratic backsliding and a shift towards a more authoritarian style of government.
- Jailed military leaders claiming they plotted a Coup!
- Sex tapes!
- Causes trouble with NATO!
- Ruling and in power since 2003 to now! That is way too long!
- Uses great manipulation of media to show how big and powerful he is!
- Uses mobs to cause trouble for opposition
- Get manipulated by those he admires – ie the Super Mack Daddy Putin!
- The trafficking of women for sex and blackmailing opponents with recordings of sexual encounters have turned out to be among the tools that have helped then-prime minister and now President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan consolidate power in Turkey. What a stud muffin! He watches the tapes also!
