Is Trump Mentally Ill and/or Does He Have a Personality Disorder?

[owebo]

Years ago during Trump's public feud with Rosie O'Donnell, I couldn't help but wonder why a man who was supposedly a billionaire would engage in such a nasty public back and forth with Rosie O'Donnell. Frankly, it seemed kind of crazy to me. The longer it went on, the stranger it seemed. I came away from the whole think thinking that Trump had some kind of serious personality flaw. I mean, most people wouldn't and couldn't be bothered to do such a thing. And who the hell would want to make such a public spectacle of himself unnecessarily? But, like most things that fly in front of the public radar, it eventually passed from the immediacy of the moment.

Fast forward to today:

At this point, there is absolutely NO need for me to grocery list all of the strange public quarrels, feuds, tiffs, dust-ups, and squabbles that Trump has engaged in with seemingly everyone from his primary opponents to private citizens.

As it's gone on (and on, and on, seemingly ad nauseam), I can't deny that I've personally reached a conclusion that there's something that isn't quite right with the man. Whether it's pathological (physical) or psychological, I wouldn't venture to guess. But as far as I'm concerned, the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. Yet, despite what I see and hear from Trump almost every day, his support in many quarters rarely seems to waver. That, frankly, mystifies me. For example, do some people think it's an act of some kind?

Regardless, the question deserves to be asked in this (or any other) forum about whether the participants here find Trump's behavior to be outside the mainstream of what's considered to be "normal."

So, do you, the members of USMB collectively, think that Trump is mentally ill in some way or do you think it's possible that he has some kind of personality disorder?

Please feel free to weigh in on the matter.

Keep in mind that this COULD be the most fundamental question of this election cycle if and when Trump ascends to the office of president at which point there would be very little to check his emotional whims once he becomes the most powerful man in the world.

When compared to hitlery, Trumps normal does look odd to democrats....

No one in recent memory is as thin skinned or egotistical as obama so your post is laughable.

Seriously? I know you are stupid, but this is not rocket science to tell who is the king of undisciplined spite:

Unqualified to give a professional opinion I'll just leave it at Trump acts like a 16 year-old know-it-all.

I just did.

The boy king even went so far as to insult the SCOTUS sitting right in front of him at the state of the union address. They didn't bend over nice and proper for him, just the way he likes.

No sale!

Insult? WTF? He just said their ruling was wrong, he made no personal remarks.

 

[rightwinger]

For a billionaire...Trump is very insecure

He needs to constantly remind people how rich he is, how smart he is, how beautiful his wife is. He cannot accept any criticism without replying with a personal attack on the other person

Who else would attack a handicapped man?

LOL. That wasn't an insult? You are all fucked up!

Trump is fine otherwise there would be no need to lie about him so much.

one candidate is not healthy...

That's just it ----- there isn't. He provides way more than enough. Bigly.

Narcissism: I am the best, everyone loves me, I have the prettiest wife

Paranoia: Everyone is out to get me, Inability to take any criticism

Pathological lying: One lie layered on top of another

You just described Barry and the Clintons to a 'T'.

He probably isn't a sociopath. He's far too emotional to be one. A real sociopath would never display so much anger and hostility all the time, instead, they prefer to work behind the scenes where they can be ruthlessly cold and calculating. On the surface, they'll always appear normal. Trump is like a delicate little child trapped in a "mean" exterior. It's all a charade. It's very easy to get under his thin skin, and his delicate sensibilities mean he can't handle even the slightest bit of criticism. Just imagine what he would do as president if Kim Jong-un decided to troll him...

Trump is basically an emotionally stunted basket case who never reached adult maturity, never had his ass properly kicked, and was handed everything to him on a silver platter and was never properly disciplined. Since he never developed himself, and has strange beliefs about the world, he learned how to BS his way through life, including every business venture. He's basically BS'ed his way through life. We've all known guys like this in the workplace...Trump is no different from them other than he had a rich daddy give him some $14 million dollars to "get a head start" in taking advantage of other people.

This is the 70-year old man-child that the GOP has chosen. Unbelievable.

Zackly --- it's as if he stopped developing emotionally around age 11. You can put everything he says into the mouth of a prepubescent middle schooler and it sounds perfectly "normal". And his vocabulary matches that exactly. As he noted himself, "I love the poorly educated".

Yes, who else but the poorly educated would go into a casino and pull one-armed-bandits until most of their paycheck is gone? Then after losing about $500 every month for about 5 months in a row, they go in one day, win $1,000 and think of themselves as winners.

Why won't the democrats dump hillary and her parkinson's disease?

 

[AZGAL]

Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac who lets everything and everyone get under his skin. SO THEN if people are going to choose between The Ice Queen or a goofy passionate man with a temperament like a Latino...hmmm...

You've been butt humped by Obama for so long you've forgotten how a leader acts.

Is Trump an alien from outer space? You could probably get the same percentage of responses from left wing tinfoil hats who fall for this junk. What do you think about the mental health of a woman who never had a real job in her adult life that wasn't arranged by her husband spending her time threatening the victims of her husband's peculiar sexual aggression?

Actually it was SPOT ON.

Barry is a massive proven Narcissist.

Barry, Hillary, & Bill are all pathelogical liars.

Hillary is paranoid, believing every time one of her scandals/crimes is exposed it is some 'vast right wing conspiracy'...libs even tried to claim today Assange is a Republican...

Bill is a serial sexual predator who has sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, and raped women for decades while Hillary has further victimized his victims, enabling and facilitating his continuous sexual crimes against women...

They're a bunch of criminally f*ed up people...

He is kind of orange....I'm thinking Men in Black

Man, I get a creepy feeling about her, she is sick, just plain disturbed I think.

Yes... we know you are scared of the Vaginas....

But this was a discussion about whether or not Trump is nuts.

Which he clearly is.
