George Conway has started a new PAC to highlight Trump's mental illness. Link: https://www.psychopac.org/letter/ Trump does have untreated personality disorders, which can now be more fully addressed with the ageism surrounding Biden (one of my heroes) out of the picture. He has some form of antisocial pathology and narcissism, rendering him unable to feel remorse and needing constant praise and attention. This is dangerous and disruptive for anyone, but horrible if that person is in a position of leadership. Narcissists are also easily manipulated. Leon Panetta played him like a violin, making Trump even more dangerous.
I believe most people who are caught in Trump's web, if not all but the most crass, do not know personality disorder, a form of mental illness. I know this and am tuned in because it's in my family. Anyone who deals with this closely should recognize the abnormality. But people do not. There is no cure that I am aware of- so treatment is not a fix. Such people should be disqualified especially for such a position as POTUS. That said, we all have mental issues big and small, but Trump's are so big and obvious, including the intersection of age with it, and more dangerous. I wonder how this passes; so many are deaf and blind to it.. People are blinded by insecurities, more appealing calls to hate, division, and the need of inclusiveness (belonging). This is so frightening for our country. It takes a lot of waking up and action, education, to put this now mass movement down, if it can be.
Basically the Trump movement is about power, grabbing power in whatever way, amoral, immoral.
