Trump has a psychopathology. In deference to the Goldwater rule (which is not as strictly observed as it used to be, especially with the latest version of the DSM), I won't be so presumptuous as to diagnose him with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Don't worry, my best friend is a psychologist and therapist* and said his professional opinion is a very easy, text-book diagnosis of Trump as having NPD.
I've heard this argument to Trump's diagnoses:
"But but! You can't diagnose someone without having them on your couch and having them fill out questionnaire's/tests/assessments in your practice!"
Uh huh, suuuure. Totally not a shill for convincing people to spend more money in the psychotherapy space.
*He corrected me and said the best label is "therapist."

Just tell Joe that the debate is 14 years old, that'll ensure he doesn't pull out.

Trump is demanding an "ear check" be done on both parties involved in the debate in order to make sure Biden doesn't have a transmitter in his ear feeding him lines lol
Should actually be a legit concern since he has been caught using prompters in news interviews.
And they should pay attention to Biden to make sure he doesn't try to cheat.

Biden is denying he asked for breaks. Also apparently he agreed to the ear check then backed out.
Not allowing ear checks is weak ass, it's literally someone making sure you aren't getting fed lines.........strike one on Biden 😆
We can give Trump a strike for his drug test request, epic fail that was.
