Mentally Ill Or Not, Donald Trump Has Proven He Is Far From 'Stable'

On issues from immigration to wiretapping this week, the president's erratic behavior has been driven by fear, insecurity and bigoted rage.



“The debate about Trump’s emotional stability ended a long time ago.”


Too many people, including many in the media and even Trump himself, have confused mental impairment and emotional stability.

People can of course be mentally ill and yet quite stable. And there are many people who aren’t in any way mentally impaired, but are highly emotionally unstable ― prone to outbursts, impulsiveness, temper tantrums and other erratic behavior that often displays their anger, resentment and animus toward groups or individuals.




In Fire And Fury, Wolff quoted people in the White House calling Trump an “idiot” and a “moron.” He wrote that people around Trump describe him as as being “like a child” and that “100 percent” of them believe he is not “fit” for office. And he documented Trump’s odd repetition of phrases and anecdotes while speaking, saying it was becoming more pronounced. On the “Today” show, while describing this behavior, Wollff quoted Steve Bannon saying, “He’s lost it.”
