Do you think Donald Trump has a mental illness?

[Red Cat]

There are people who speculate that Donald Trump has a mental illness because of his long and incoherent rants, his paranoia about everyone including Republicans being against him for no reason, his conspiracy theories about the media being biased against him, his refusal to admit when he's wrong, and his denial of statements he clearly made in the past. Do you think he has a mental illness of some kind or do you think he is just saying what people want to hear and he knows exactly which buttons to push to get attention and support?

I'm just doing yes / no options on this thread because it's purely speculative and "I don't know" is a boring option, so just pick what your head / gut tells you.

 

[Bowie]

No. I actually think he's very intelligent, because I think he knows everything he says is rubbish, and he's trying to prove a point about how stupid we all are to vote for a man like that. I think that's what he's thinking.

 

[jiny]

no

Trump's behavior in the primaries and the election is a moral issue. It's not a result of a mental illness, nor does it have to do with age.

 

[Xara]

I don't think so, honestly.

 

[Mr. Cat]

Narcissism.
Full-blown NPD.

Edit:
It's not even questionable. He is the poster child for NPD and more attention needs to be brought to this because people with this disorder are very seriously mentally ill and dangerous.

 

[ams]

Yes, as stated above he has a very obvious presentation of NPD.

 

[Katattacc]

No I just think he is a giant man baby.

 

[Tao]

He has a bad case of the Trumpies. Very flatulent man.

 

[MochiACNL]

most definitely..

 

[Daydream]

Of course. I'm scared of his popularity, even if I'm not from the USA.

 

[Glake]

Nah. It's called authenticity. Something we haven't seen in the candidacy for quite sometime. This man is able to speak what he thinks because a good chunk of his current campaign is being backed by his own $. If it were mostly with with someone else's $, I'm sure he would be a little bit more careful before he opened his mouth.

 

[Twisterheart]

Probably

 

[Becca617]

I don't think he has a mental illness but what comes out of his mouth is absolutely disgusting. I'm ashamed that my dad likes him.

The only thing that's authentic about Trump is that he's openly racist and sexist.

 

[Buttonsy]

Not really, and I'm honestly annoyed how every time the public doesn't like someone there has to be mental illness speculation. Mental illness doesn't automatically equal evil person.

 

[Ghost Soda]

you can be an a-hole without having a mental illness.

 

[Greninja]

yes he does he suffers from stupidity and ignorance

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Big ego? Yes. Mental illness? No.

 

[nintendofan85]

Honestly, I think so, but I think the way he acts more has to do with the size of his ego. Clearly his ego is humongous.
I do think he is narcissistic, but most narcissists have large egos anyway.

Your parents, too? My dad isn't that big on him (but will be voting for him) but my mom likes him...
