Cabinet Member Says Trump Calls Him At 1am To Gossip About TV Shows (4:00 min)


According to multiple different cabinet officials with Trump’s administration, he will frequently call them around 1am each morning to talk about whatever random things are going through his mind – including gossiping about TV shows that he is watching. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that Trump will frequently call him multiple times until he wakes up just to talk about TV, and Lutnick says that sometimes he’ll talk about policy. This isn’t just weird – it is a symptom of a serious problem, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

narcissism is a defense against borderline personality disorder. I could easily believe that it could also be a defense against bipolar disorder. I’m not a psychologist but I had a college buddy who was bipolar — he once told me he was diagnosed as such and on medication — and over the years I saw him drift into obvious narcissistic behavior. He started drinking heavily, and I suspect he was off his medication. He became so offensive that I eventually cut off contact.

It is not unusual to see a cluster of diagnoses.
The mood disorders along with the personality disorders.

And there is a lot of overlap with borderline and the other personality disorders.

The tricky part is all of Trump's long time drug abuse.
Taking uppers and downers all the time.

It confuses the clinical picture.

We would need to get him into detox and rehab.
Then see what he looks like in 6 months.
