      Nah, he’s just a narcissist who’s getting old.

      Ascribing it to some medical condition feels just like making excuses for his bullshit, when really he’s always been spreading this kind of bullshit.

      And it’s always some insane claim like “flypaper has been banned” or “wind turbines cause cancer” or “you have to flush a toilet twelve times today,” when really he’s just upset that flies are buzzing around him or that Scotland decided to put a wind farm near his golf course or that his fat turds haven’t been flushing.

      But he always makes it into some hare brained conspiracy theory, some concocted “they’re out to get you, you should all be upset” crusade so he can have thousands of people cheer and holler and validate his narcissistic belief that he’s the eternal victim in this world.

      None of this is new. Don’t make excuses for him.

          He wasn’t nearly this unhinged in 2015, eight years ago, when he won the GOP nomination.

          Trump has been making insane claims about “windmills” - as he calls them - since he realized that he wouldn’t be able to bully the Scottish government into stopping a wind farm project that could be seen from his golf course.

          That was in 2011.

          Take a look at the Trump Twitter Archive and see for yourself.

          So no, this didn’t only start at some point after 2015. Trump has always been a crybully and a narcissist.
