Also, George Conway followed up with this tweet:



Agree with this, but would add that *all* Americans should be thinking seriously *now* about Trump’s mental condition and psychological state, including and especially the media, Congress—and the Vice President and Cabinet.

Good at self-promotion but likely believes little of what comes out of her own mouth.
Just a guess.

Her talent lies (pun intended) in having the ability to don the affect of an enthusiastic evangelist for anyone willing to pay her demand.

.... Like many with a severe underbite (I'm guessing she can scratch her nose with her lower teeth!), she has that jaw-jutting, chip-on-the-shoulder personality that is very abrasive. Nobody would be surprised if they end up separating.

.

BPD has the elements of NPD and ASPD, but is wrapped up in one complete fucked up package.

He is nice to those close to him, alienates them and then struggles to befriend them again.

And I have mentioned it, along with some others, here at DU several times.
Just read it and weep. He's a mentally unstable mess and should never be POTUS.
Those professionals knew what he was like just from observing his behavior.
No need for an in- person diagnosis. The man is sick.

And dangerous. To all of us.

She has said this over and over. People are being played.
