8. It's definitely a hallmark sign of Bipolar Affective Disorder

BUT...
Trump's pathology is mostly characterological -- his personality disorder.
This is a man displaying narcissistic rage, which a narcissist often does when he
is feeling challenged by others, feeling vulnerable, or feeling accused.
(i.e., How dare you!!!!)

This is Trump's style of arguing with people : be loud, be angry, lie (a lot), "gallop" --
never pausing long enough to allow another person to interject any counterpoints,
project blame, and talk over people (even when you're the only person in the room).
He was yelling in a steady stream of anger at a camera but that camera represented
all the people he hates who are calling him out on his failures and bullshit.

I had to turn it off because it was a deluge of lies pouring out of the mouth of a
deeply damaged person. This man lives in a grandiose delusional world. Detachment
from reality is not uncommon with personality disorders. However, he occupies the
office of the POTUS which is frightening. The man is a fat bag full of venom and rage.
