Grisham: WH employed a "MUSIC MAN" to calm TFG's rages. He really likes "Cats" song "Memory"

Very funny long twitter thread follows.

Also note that this is what is used to calm Alzheimer's patients. Music. More evidence that TFG is F Nuts.

This isn't really evidence he's 'nuts' ... there's plenty of other evidence he's not really all there, but I don't consider this part of that assessment.

And I'd imagine some here won't like the association of people suffering from Alzheimer's with being 'nuts'.

The more notable point-of-fact here, in my book, is that his temper is barely controllable.

That, and the fact that he loves Show Tunes.

Note I said “sometimes.” But there are other conditions that might bring that on as well, like binge drinking, except he is known as a teetotaler. Schizophrenia, whatever. We don’t have a diagnosis from a doctor, do we?

As for Trump — since we have a lot of first-hand observations coming out about his irrationality, uncontrollable rages, violent notions, and on and on — and we don’t have a first-hand diagnosis, really — can we just cut ourselves some slack and call him nuts? The people around him tried to “manage” him. That is not a knock on anyone but him, and the people who would not remove him from office.

Clearly, his personality disorders that drive the rage are separate from any degenerative cognitive decline.

The only music Trump enjoys is stuff at his rallies because he associates it with his adoring fans.

I can't imagine him actually listening to music.

I really can't picture him liking the song "Memories"
