I’ve read sadism, executive function disorder, narcissism, paranoia, etc.… UD will wade into the stream and propose: hebephrenia.
Remarks of his today in response to a baby crying during his speech.
Don’t worry about it. I love babies. I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don’t worry, don’t worry. The mom’s running around like — don’t worry about it, you know. It’s young and beautiful and healthy and that’s what we want… Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. That’s all right. Don’t worry. I, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking. That’s OK. People don’t understand. That’s OK.

Then add in flight of ideas, derailment, knight’s moves, and poverty of content of speech… all ominous signals of a tenuous cognitive style. Sooner or later, the knots will come untied.

Yes. I think a lot of people are already a little anxious about what will happen when the pressure gets too much and Trump implodes. I don’t think that will be very pretty.
