Mike my grad background is in social science and I genuinely believe that Trumps behavior exhibits mental illness....I am a fan of the DSM .....the definition of narcissism is a perfect description of Trump and his aberrant behavior.

All the issues you point out fit very well in the DSM definition of this mental disorder.

Giving the nuclear codes to a mentally disordered individual is madness....supporting his candidacy was madness....all those newspapers who for the first time ever came out and said they supported Hillary....often because they were worried about Trumps "temperament"....

Part of his disorder is the literally empty hole he has relative to a need for adulation....I think when all else fails he will take us to war...fundamentally for that reason...

The bishops who backed him should be ashamed...as should any halfway educated voter who didn't think his "problems" were all that serious.....

Sadly, I think we will learn the very very hard way on this deal.....
