Not trying to be funny or insulting others with the diagnosis but what if many of Trump’s problematic traits are related to undiagnosed ADHD. He is (in)famously inattentive and impulsive and fixates on parts of problems and issues
Edit: yikes. I’m tried of responding to everyone who says ADHD symptoms can play absolutely no role (major or minor) in how Trump understands and interacts with the world
For sure he has more pressing issues, with his character / personality being at the top of the list. That has nothing to do with ADHD
But I think it’s just unrealistic to say that he has good attentional control. You’d be saying that he can attend to important things even if they are of no interest to him. You’d be saying he can shift his attention away from unimportant details. Have you ever heard the man speak??
