40. I thought Kristen Welker was extremely professional and agressive in her "discussion" with Trump.

I do appreciate your medical analysis of Trump's demented behavior, of which we have seen plenty of in the past few years.

However I thought Ms Welker solidly held her ground and totally intimidated Trump.
Although he did try talking over her. As his face got redder Ms Welker continued to be very very direct with her questioning. I did not see anything indicating she was "taken aback". She overwhelmed him and his only option was to give up, criticize her, call her names, and runaway because she was eating him alive.

My impressions are not backed up by any type of medical / psychology degree.
