Beyond Trump’s mental state, there are at least three other plausible explanations, as Dan Drezner notes:

2. Trump uses Twitter to soothe his base, which is especially important after he’s tried to cut deals with Democrats without getting much in return.
3. The more White House chief of staff John Kelly controls his information flow, the more Trump will seek out Twitter for information that makes him feel better.
