18. They do, in a way...

You read his tweets and they are basically one of 2 things. He is either putting someone down so that he looks better than, or he is "correcting" people's perception of him, even if that correction is nonsense, like him saying he "arrived"
at the G-20 yesterday, completely nonsensical for a virtual meeting

The guy does not have a moment of peace. He has to constantly repair holes in his self image. It is very compulsive, in the way that people with obsessive compulsive order have counting rituals, or have to go back into the house 5 times to make sure the stove is off before they leave. Huge anxiety until the ritual is complete.

Separately to his mental problems, he is pretty much an asshole of long standing, and he knows people only tolerated him because they thought he was very rich, which is why he lied about money.

Post WH, he might luck out and find a lawyer who uses a mental health defense, which would be accurate.
But, trump would not accept that, cause he is perfect.!
Ought to be fun to watch.
