Possibly but IMHO, it's more of a delusional disorder. I believe he truly believes what he says, which is the difference between a liar and a mentally ill person.

Trump's worst enemy is himself and Biden's best campaign strategy is to let Trump be Trump.

Im not so sure anymore, that used to clearly be the case, but now he just sticks to the script, he clearly does not even understand what he is reading... and wont take meaningful questions, especially follow ups. I dont think he is following them. Thats why they told Fox to cut away.

Why is that not symptomatic of a person with a delusional disorder? He also exhibits several symptoms of Adderall abuse.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9599-delusional-disorder
Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness — called a “psychosis”— in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue. People with delusional disorder experience non-bizarre delusions, which involve situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, poisoned, deceived, conspired against, or loved from a distance. These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated.

Telltale signs of Adderall abuse may include:

  • Being overly talkative
  • Loss of appetite
  • Unusual excitability
  • Social withdrawal
  • Financial troubles
  • Aggression
  • Sleeping for long periods of time
  • Secretive behavior
  • Exhaustion
  • Excessive weight loss
  • Memory loss
  • Incomplete thoughts
  • Relationship problems
  • Decline in personal hygiene
  • Frequently taking pills
  • Financial difficulties
  • Overworking or overconcentrating
  • Running out of prescriptions early
  • Disorientation
  • Mania
  • Impulsive behaviors

Well that really does fit Trump*. But at this point it seems to have changed... maybe they have him on a rehab program or something, he is just down and not really comprehending what he is saying. He is on the other side of mania.

His rambling "briefing" yesterday indicated no change to me. He might be getting more pressure to stay on script because he's losing but no one can force him to take medication or treatment without having to cross the line into the 25th Amendment.

I think his daughter is likely managing his "medication" these days.

I wouldn't doubt it, but I also don't doubt Trump can be obstinate about wanting his Adderall and not eating his peas. Even a four year old can figure out that if they, and only they, can do something then it has value. Ivanka needs Daddy on TV just like several other Trump "advisors". Trump likes TV but knows he can refuse to show as a bargaining chip.

If the poll numbers dont improve, I give it till the end of the month before we start seeing some Repulks trying to distance themselves from him.

They're are already doing it with RNC permission. As much as the RNC reluctantly supports Trump's drama, they're more worried about losing the Senate and a larger margin of the House. At the moment, the Democrats are on a path to a Trifecta, a Hat Trick. Unless the Republican party, what's left of it, can get their shit in one sock, they'll be screwed, blued and tattooed come November 3rd and for the two years that follow.
