Trump Was Unaware He Bombed Press Conference
July 17, 2018 at 11:37 am EDTBy Taegan Goddard
CNN: “Immediately after his news conference, Trump’s mood was buoyant, people familiar with the matter said. He walked off stage in Helsinki with little inkling his remarks would cause the firestorm they did, and was instead enthusiastic about what he felt was a successful summit.”
“By the time he’d returned to the White House just before 10 p.m. ET on Monday, however, his mood had soured. Predictably, the President was upset when he saw negative coverage of the summit airing on television aboard Air Force One. It was clear he was getting little support, even from the usual places.”

strong traits of?
Trump's been shoving himself onto the public stage since he was a young man, and literally thousands of peculiar and dysfunctional behaviors have been documented on film, audio, written interviews, his own supposed books, and court documents over more than 4 decades. And still are, as in this thread.
His dad had dementia, and Trump could of course have inherited it, but we're really not seeing any new behaviors that could be ascribed to onset of dementia but not of ongoing personality disorder,
Trump'd fall under the cluster B group of characteristics. Obviously. 
Even though various traits are grouped under 4 general diagnoses on this site, any of the traits might be manifested in various witches' brews of disorder, and many not. They can be relatively mild to sociopathic.

and there may have been some deterioration over part of the last 40 years, but it could also be partly slopping over the years into patterns that work for him. We don't know if his reported severe problems with concentration and lack of interest in anything he doesn't relate to himself have gotten worse over the decades, but he's always been that way. Forget reading; his fund of knowledge has always been a relatively null set.
We know that for his first 3 decades in business his father repeatedly kept him from ruining himself. And, of course, many of those thousands of lawsuits he's been involved in for cheating and so on were piled up long ago.
Here's a good one: How about 30 years of inspiring Doonsbury cartoons? Garry Trudeau tried to ignore him for the first few years, but he would never go away and was always pushing his bizarre, attention-seeking behaviors into public discussion, so finally he became a cartoon character. And still is.
He didn't want his newborn son, Don, Jr., to be named after him because, "What if he turns out to be a loser?" Yes, that concern did turn out to be justified, but!
If he's deteriorated so badly, from what?
been something of a factor. But that doesn't mean he can't have a personality disorder that caused these behaviors in the first place. I also think it's a really bad idea to think disordered people are normal. Sets a very low standard for judging all of us. And in Trump's case it could conceivably lead to use of WMD. Best we see him for whatever he is.
Personality problems are so common that it's sort of understandable if some who've never been close to someone with a disabling disorder don't realize they can be more than just assholism. Not only can these people not help themselves, these disorders are still mostly effectively incurable by professionals and helpful treatments extremely limited to effectively nonexistent.
Btw, does anyone really doubt that if The Donald had inherited a Taco Bell franchise he would have run it into the ground in short order, been fired for cause from every job he didn't quit first, managed to cheat his way onto welfare various times, married women in order to mooch off and abuse them until they dumped him, abandoned every child he fathered, and done time in prison more than once because he'd much rather cheat and hurt people than not?
... or to anyone who actually knows/understands what the hell is going on.
The only people he listens to are the toadies who blow smoke up his ass. Am I right?
How could he? He surrounds himself with sychophants that are afraid to criticize him.
He needs a mommy, a real one that can send him to bed without his supper (not that I'm into disfunctional parenting or anything 
. He obviously had none of that when he "grew" up.
I think he'd be confused trying to figure out Candyland and totslly baffled by Old Maid. Chess? Him? 
delish!
a foxtard caller said that trump was using reverse psychology on putin and had putin right where he wanted him. 
...shows everyone that he is the alpha male.
for the collusionist in chief. 
Makes his walk-back fake AND as bad, if not worse, than his original shitty statement!!
