Trump's Bizarre Behavior Has a Clinical Name: Disinhibition

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/trumps-bizarre-behavior-has-a-clinical-name-disinhibition/


Disinhibition is the loss or reduction of normal mental controls, leading to poorly restrained emotions, urges, or actions, often manifesting as impulsivity, inappropriate social behavior, poor judgment, and disregard for consequences, stemming from factors like alcohol, drugs, brain injury (especially to the frontal lobes), or neurological conditions like dementia and Tourette's Syndrome

Call it what they may. Get his ass out of the White House. NOW!!!! would be fine.

It's time for the GOP to get to work and get this done.

But I always just called it impulsivity. Often with too much volume. Drugs and alcohol aren't even the culprit (for the most part). But none of them are narcissists (for the most part).

Which, as we have seen, sent him absolutely around the bend.
