Enjoy the #SuperBowl and then we continue: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017

Day 36, continued. The subject promotes the Super Bowl, perhaps as a way of indirectly promoting his interview, which airs beforehand. Subject ends his communication with the all-caps version of his campaign slogan. Study continues.

I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017

Day 36, continued. The subject again lashes out at the Judicial Branch, one of the three branches of government. As this is the only branch of the three that the subject's party does not control, it is not unexpected that the subject would be in opposition. However, the obsessive nature of the subject's tweets on said judge's ruling suggests that the previous reports of his inability to let even the smallest perceived insults go may be accurate. Study continues.

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017

Day 36. Subject continues to complain about the judge that upheld the temporary stay of his selective Muslim ban, a judge known as a "mainstream Republican" who was appointed by George W. Bush. The fact that the subject's last tweet of the previous day and first tweet of the current day relates to said judge, it is clear that the subject is bothered by having his authority constrained. Such behavior is in lines with traits of authoritarianism. Study continues.

2.04.2017

The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017

Day 35, continued. The subject is back to fuming about the judge that overruled his selective Muslim ban. He attempts to portray the situation as the judge allowing "bad people", "potential terrorists", and those that "do not have our best interests at heart" into the country when, in actuality, the people he is trying to ban have not committed a terrorist attack in the U.S. in at least 15 years. Study continues.

Interview with @oreillyfactor on Fox Network - 4:00 P.M. (prior to Super Bowl). Enjoy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017

Day 35, continued. The subject expresses excitement at being featured in a television interview. Previous behavior indicates the subject is particularly sensitive about TV ratings, a trait which would be consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Why aren't the lawyers looking at and using the Federal Court decision in Boston, which is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35, continued. The subject again appears shocked that the executive branch does not hold 100% of the power in the government. The subject also appears significantly bothered by the fact that his order was not immediately upheld, which may be observed by his use of three tweets, and is a behavior consistent with narcisistic personality disorder.However, it is still not clear whether the subject is truly surprised or whether he is feigning surprise in order to manipulate others into believing that the judicial branch is doing something wrong. Study continues.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35, continued. In a concerning turn of events, the subject appears to use the online equivalent of shouting to reiterate his campaign slogan. Could this represent a psychological break or an organic disorder affecting temporal awareness? Indeed, recent concerning video of the subject failing to recognize his own advisor sitting across from him has been brought to the authors' attention. Study continues.

After being forced to apologize for its bad and inaccurate coverage of me after winning the election, the FAKE NEWS @nytimes is still lost! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35, continued. The subject again attempts to discredit a media organization that has won more Puliztzer Prizes than any other news organization. While the subject attempts to make the news organization sound as if it is failing, latest reports of its earnings are up and it has added the most digital subscriptions in 6 years. Again, it is not clear if the subject suffers from delusional thinking or if he is attempting to deceive his audience. Study continues.

The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35, continued. The subject attacks the legitimacy of the judge that temporarily halted his selective Muslim ban. The subject rails that the judicial system 'takes law-enforcement away from our country', which indicates either: i) a complete lack of civics knowledge; ii) poor cognition; and/or iii) an incorrect, authoritarian view on the role of the judicial branch as subservient to the executive branch. Study continues.

Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35, continued. Subject proclaims that 'certain Middle-Eastern countries' agree with his selective Muslim ban that was recently stayed temporarily by a judge, while offering no proof of such a fact. Instead, the ban is reported to have helped a terrorist group with recruitment. Is the subject displaying a pattern of delusional beliefs or manipulative lies? Study continues.

When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 35. The subject expresses his frustration that a judge put a temporary stay on his selective Muslim ban. In attempting to rationalize his ban, the subject invokes 'safety' and 'security', despite the fact that the U.S. has had zero terrorist acts in the past 15 years that were committed by people from the seven banned countries and the fact that the countries of the 9/11 attackers were not included in the ban. Such ineffective decision-making could be due to delusional thinking, confused thinking or manipulative intent. Study continues.

2.03.2017

Countries charge U.S. companies taxes or tariffs while the U.S. charges them nothing or little.We should charge them SAME as they charge us! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject uses an 'us vs. them' type of tactic to gain support by pushing the idea that other countries are taking advantage of the U.S. Such behavior may be characterized as manipulative. Study continues.

We must keep "evil" out of our country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject throws out a vaguely-worded tweet about "evil", which the subject puts in quotes as though he may not actually believe in it. Presumably the subject is referring to either his selective Muslim ban or his border wall, although the meaning is not entirely clear. Study continues.

A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject condemns an atack on a group of foreign soldiers in a foreign museum (which actually took place outside in a plaza) by a man yelling in Arabic, an incident in which one soldier was slightly injured. Despite the subject's quick condemnation of this attack, a similar condemnation was not issued for the recent attack by a white-supremacist on a mosque in a neighboring country that killed six people and injured five others. Such distinction highlights the subject's implicit racial and religious discriminatory beliefs. Study continues.

Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject complains about those individuals who are exercising their First Amendment rights and accuses them of being 'professionals' and 'paid', perhaps in response to having his appearance at a Harley Davidson cancelled due to planned protests. Study continues.

Meeting with biggest business leaders this morning. Good jobs are coming back to U.S., health care and tax bills are being crafted NOW! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject makes more unsubstantiated claims with a characteristic word in all-caps as an attempt to sell the message as more sincere than it might otherwise be taken as. Study continues.

Thank you to Prime Minister of Australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS media lied about. Very nice! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject attempts to smooth over reports that he 'badgered, bragged and abruptly ended his phone call' with the leader of a long-time ally. To counter the reports, the subject points to said leader's appropriately professional comments as proof that their phone call was not abnormal. Thus, the subject appears to have a diminished sense of emotional intelligence. Study continues.

Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34, continued. The subject uses threatening language towards a foreign country that recently conducted missile tests. The subject attempts to portray himself as a sort of 'strong-man', in a manner that is not dissimilar from an authoritarian dictator, while authorizing additional sanctions against said foreign country. Study continues.

Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice...but at least he tried hard! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017

Day 34. The subject picks a Twitter fight with another celebrity. Could this be a means of distraction from other stories that might be of more concern (e.g., the lifting of sanctions on a foreign country implicated in election interference on behalf of the subject; the sale of 19.5% of said foreign government's oil company to an unknown party, which is remarkably similar to the 19% named in the dossier accusing the subject of traitorous acts with a 0.5% brokerage fee; the on-going selective Muslim ban; or the subject's poor approval rating)? Study continues.

2.02.2017

Thank you, @Samsung! We would love to have you! https://t.co/r5nxC9oOA4 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33, continued. The subject thanks a company for considering building some products in the U.S., news that was released last month. Study continues.

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33, continued. The subject appears to criticize what he calls the 'Iran Deal'. However, this reading may not be accurate as it was later announced that the subject may seek to strengthen the Iran Deal. Study continues.

Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile.Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33, continued. The subject "formally" puts another country "on notice" with a tweet, a rather informal means of communication. It is likely that the subject relishes the sense of power of he gets from his electronic saber rattling. Study continues.

Attending Chief Ryan Owens' Dignified Transfer yesterday with my daughter Ivanka was my great honor. To a great and brave man - thank you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33, continued. Instead of releasing a dignified public statement, the subject instead feels that Twitter is the proper outlet to inform the public of his trip to witness the return of the remains of the first U.S. service member killed under his direction. Said service member was killed during a raid in a foreign country, which has been characterized by a senator of the subject's same party as 'not succesful, that's obvious.' Study continues.

Congratulations to Rex Tillerson on being sworn in as our new Secretary of State. He will be a star! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33, continued. Subject makes a prediction for the future of his secretary of state. It remains to be seen if said secretary, who has ties to a foreign government accused of interfering in the previous election, will, indeed, "be a star!". Study continues.

If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017

Day 33. The subject appears to threaten the removal of federal funding to a university where students protested the speaking invitation of a writer for a white-power website. The subject was likely encouraged on this line of thought by his chief strategist, a former head of said white-power website and newly appointed member of the U.S. National Security Council. Unfortunately, the subject may be easily influenced by others, allowing him to be manipulated by craftier individuals. The subject appears particularly vulnerable to manipulations in matters he poorly understands because admitting to anything less than complete understanding (e.g., by asking questions or requiring further analysis) risks the appearance of inferiority, in the subject's view. Study continues.

2.01.2017

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 1, 2017

Day 32, continued. The subject clearly feels threatened by what he perceives to be a deluge of illegal immigrants from Australia, a close U.S. ally. In fact, the agreement the subject disparages was to accept 1,200 refugees, not 'illegal immigrants' from Australia. The subject's poor ability to distinguish real versus false information could be indicative of a cognitive disorder. Study continues.

Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 1, 2017

Day 32, continued. The subject makes an inflammatory comment against a foreign nation despite having no evidence to back up his claim. Could this be part of a larger pattern of delusional thinking? Study continues.

Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 1, 2017

Day 32. The subject attempts to deflect controversy away from the bizarre insistence that the subject's selective Muslim ban is not a 'ban', despite that word being used in the days prior by the subject and his press secretary. Study continues.

1.31.2017

Hope you like my nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch for the United States Supreme Court. He is a good and brilliant man, respected by all. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2017

Day 31, continued. The punctuation and proper use of capitalization suggests that this message was sent by a staffer, as opposed to the subject himself. Study continues.

Day 31, continued. Subject again promotes his televised announcement. However, the lack of words in all-caps suggests that the comment may have been sent by an aide. Study continues.

Getting ready to deliver a VERY IMPORTANT DECISION! 8:00 P.M. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2017

Day 31, continued. The subject begins to hype his upcoming announcement of his Supreme Court nominee. In an effort to attract the most viewers, the subject scheduled his announcement during prime-time and, if past behavior is to be believed, he will likely follow the ratings closely. Study continues.

When will the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! They should be ashamed of themselves! No wonder D.C. doesn't work! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2017

Day 31, continued. The subject appears confused at the long-established fact that the Senate must confirm his nominees. It has likely been a long time since the subject's last civics lesson. Bizarrely, the subject fails to mention that he just fired the acting Attorney General because she 'betrayed' the D.O.J. by doing exactly what she said she would do if faced with an illegal order from the President. Ironically, the subject's own nominee for Attorney General asked the now-fired Attorney General that question during her confirmation hearing. Study continues.

Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2017

Day 31. The subject takes a jab at two political rivals for their response to the subject's selective Muslim ban, mocking one opponent for showing tears that the subject determined must be "fake". It is possible that the subject feels little empathy for others and, hence, does not understand why one might get emotional talking about the plight of others less fortunate. Indeed, the subject's criticism of his opponents' rally focused on a microphone that did not work, suggesting the subject feels that such a technical problem proves he is superior. Study continues.

1.30.2017

The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct. Now have an Obama A.G. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject appears annoyed at the fact that his cabinet nominees have not been swiftly confirmed, even after choosing the least diverse cabinet in 36 years. The subject appears to forget that his predecessor's nominee for the Supreme Court waited 293 days for the Senate to take up his confirmation, which they ultimately refused to do. Thus, the subject's claims of obstructionism highlight the subject's proclivity for double standards. Study continues.

The American dream is back. We're going to create an environment for small business like we haven't had in many, many decades! pic.twitter.com/ZuJNaN6z8b — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject continues to make grandiose promises. Despite his outsized claims, the subject's Muslim ban has spooked investors, resulting in a drop in stock prices. However, leaders from some companies such as Ford, Intel and others are speaking out against the subject's ban. Regardless, pressure may not be met with constructive action on the part of the subject. Study continues.

Where was all the outrage from Democrats and the opposition party (the media) when our jobs were fleeing our country? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject calls the media the "opposition party", indicating a hostile relationship with those who report facts without his authorization. Consistent with the definition of "malignant narcissism", the subject is "often grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels", and "undermines organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate." Study continues.

I have made my decision on who I will nominate for The United States Supreme Court. It will be announced live on Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. (W.H.) — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject hypes the announcement of his choice for Supreme Court nominee. It is clear that the popularity of his choice is important to him, although he has made no indications of attempting to alter his choice to ensure bipartisan support. Study continues.

If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the "bad" would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad "dudes" out there! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject is capable of reasoning that "bad 'dudes' out there" might move up their travel plans if a Muslim ban were announced in advance. However, the subject appears to be incapable of reasoning that said "bad 'dudes' out there" could also delay their travel plans by the 90 days covered by the Muslim ban as well. This poor grasp of logic is indicative of either poor reasoning skills (possibly due to an organic disorder) or an intent to manipulate, which is consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30, continued. The subject continues his attempt to justify his ill-advised Muslim ban. Despite his claim that he is attempting to prevent terrorists from entering the country, the subject did not include any countries where his family's companies operated, even if those countries were linked to the 9/11 attackers. Thus, it is clear that the subject's primary interest is one of self-interest, consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer. Secretary Kelly said that all is going well with very few problems. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017

Day 30. The subject makes a poor attempt at deflecting blame for the order that caused chaos at airports and hundreds to be stuck following cancelled flights. Despite the fact that no one believes the chaos is related to a Delta computer outage, the subject proffers the impossible explanation in a desperate attempt to shift blame away from himself. Indeed, the subject may be particularly sensitive due to criticism from his even-keeled predecessor. Study continues.

1.29.2017

I will be interviewed by @TheBrodyFile on @CBNNews tonight at 11pm. Enjoy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Day 29, continued. Subject promotes an interview of himself on TV to help boost his ratings. In some ways, it is almost sad that the subject must peg his own self worth to the number of TV viewers during his appearances. Study continues.

Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting: https://t.co/f6JO60I0Ul — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Day 29, continued. The subject tweets a link to a statement he posted on his Facebook page, most likely because the statement consisted of too many characters to easily copy and paste into his Twitter account. In the Facebook statement the subject makes the following points: 1) his predecessor did something similar (despite the fact that this is not true); and 2) the ban is not a Muslim ban, although no non-majority Muslim countries were included. Symptoms are consistent with the "gaslighting" technique of manipulation. Study continues.

The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong - they are sadly weak on immigration. The two... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

...Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Day 29, continued. The subject accuses two Senators, one of which was a prisoner of war for five and a half years, of wanting to "start World War III". This type of claim is often known as "gaslighting", a form of manipulation that may be used by those with malignant narcissism. Study continues.

Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Day 29, continued. The subject attempts to appeal to Christian emotions in justifying his "Muslim ban", which bans people from select Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.. However, despite the subject's attempt at garnering support, many Christian leaders oppose the ban. It was notable that the Muslim-majority countries that the subject has business dealings with, and were often implicated in terrorist attacks, were not included in the ban. Such flexible proclaimed morals would be consistent with the insincere malignant narcissist. Study continues.

Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017

Day 29. Subject's first concern this morning is attempting to discredit a newspaper that has been continuously published since 1851 and has won 117 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization. The subject feels by calling said newspaper "FAKE NEWS" and "failing" that he can make these things true, despite said newspaper being the second-largest print paper in circulation. It is likely that the subject is projecting his own insecurities onto the newspaper, as the subject himself has been accused of spreading fake news. Indeed, sufferers of malignant narcissism tend to use projection as a defense mechanism. Consistent with this condition, the subject has been noted for his use of projection. Study continues.

1.28.2017

Today, we remember the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, 31 years later. #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/OhshQsFRfl — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2017

Day 28, continued. The subject tweets a remembrance of a national tragedy 31 years ago. Based on the presence of correct punctuation and the absence of words in all-caps, it may be assumed that the subject himself did not send this particular message. Study continues.

The failing @nytimes has been wrong about me from the very beginning. Said I would lose the primaries, then the general election. FAKE NEWS! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2017

Thr coverage about me in the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost gas been so false and angry that the times actually apologized to its..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2017

...dwindling subscribers and readers.They got me wrong right from the beginning and still have not changed course, and never will. DISHONEST — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2017

Day 28. As of 13 hours after posting, the subject has still not corrected the typos throughout these three messages railing against two established media sources. The presence of typos may indicate that the subject issued the tweets while in an overly emotional state (while it is also concerning that an aide has not alerted the subject to the typos). Furthermore, the subject accuses two media sources of having "dwindling subscribers and readers", despite subscriptions being at an all-time high. It is not clear whether subject is convinced that he is correct, in which case the subject is experiencing delusions, or whether the subject is putting forth a false claim in an attempt to prop up his own fragile sense of self-esteem. Study continues.

1.27.2017

I promise that our administration will ALWAYS have your back. We will ALWAYS be with you! pic.twitter.com/D0aOWhOH4X — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

Day 27, continued. Subject's message is unclear. Perhaps it was directed towards a certain foreign leader? Study continues.

Day 27, continued. Subject tweets a video of the swearing-in of one of his new secretaries. In the video, the subject appears to stand uncomfortably off to the side, with the exception of a handshake at the end. Study continues.

Statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day: https://t.co/KjU0MOxCHk — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

Day 27, continued. The subject promotes the statement he issued for the international day of Holocaust remembrance. However, confusion and concern were expressed over the fact that the subject's statement failed to even mention the Jews, who were particularly targeted for genocide, resulting in 6 million deaths. In breaking with traditional language used by his predecessors on both sides of the political aisle, it appears that the subject does not understand there is any tradition to the issuance of such a statement and/or delegated the task to someone who failed to research previous statements. Aditionally, the subject proclaims in the statement that "together, we will make love and tolerance prevalent throughout the world." Despite this claim, hours later the subject signed an executive order to halt admission of new refugees, ban entree of Syrian refugees and suspend entry of citicizens from several Muslim-majority countries. Potential reasons include cognitive disconnect, dual standards based on racist beliefs, and/or mental deficiencies. Study continues.

.@VP Mike Pence will be speaking at today's #MarchForLife -- You have our full support! https://t.co/1jb53SEGV4 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

The #MarchForLife is so important. To all of you marching --- you have my full support! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

Day 27, continued. The subject uses two tweets to promote a march championing a pet cause of his vice president. Considering that the subject has at various times advocated for punishing women who have abortions and "joked" that he unsuccessfully attempted to convince an ex- to have an abortion. It is not clear whether the subject actually has an opinion on the subject. Regardless, it is clear that the subject is less concerned about the welfare of his wider female constituency by the fact that the subject did not tweet once about the more-inclusive and widespread women's marches. Study continues.

Mexico has taken advantage of the U.S. for long enough. Massive trade deficits & little help on the very weak border must change, NOW! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

Day 27, continued. Subject continues to aggravate one of the country's biggest trading partners in response to his failed attempt to bully said trading partner into paying for an expensive and ineffective border wall. In effect, the subject attempts to bully in response to a failed attempt to bully. Such behavior may be indicative of a serial bully. Indeed, such serial bullies display a number of behaviors consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

Look forward to seeing final results of VoteStand. Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2017

Day 27. Subject points to the creator of a partisan app as a source for citing 3 million illegal votes. Despite pressure, the app creator has so far refused to release any data or other evidence to support his claim. Regardless, the subject continues to believe voter fraud was the reason he lost the popular vote, against the opinion of multiple independent experts and bipartisan election officials. Study continues.

1.26.2017

Miami-Dade Mayor drops sanctuary policy. Right decision. Strong! https://t.co/MtPvaDC4jM — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 26, continued. Subject has signed an executive order to strip certain cities of federal funding in an effort to intimidate those cities into changing policies regarding illegal immigrants. As with many of the subject's other decisions, this decision does not align with his proclaimed values of smaller federal government and greater local control. Study continues.

Will be interviewed by @SeanHannity on @FoxNews at 10:00pm tonight. Enjoy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 26, continued. Subject promotes a new interview with a friendlier media outlet than the previous interview, likely as a means to distract from the first interview that was described as "bizarre" and which highlighted the subject's obsession with his own popularity. Study continues.

Day 26, continued. Subject thanks his supporters and shares a video of himself, consistent with a need for constant attention. However, reports that the subject's speech left his own party in stunned silence at his erratic comments are highly concerning. Some have suggested evaluations for dementia or mental illness. Study continues.

The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 26, continued. The subject begins by criticizing a trade deal with one of the country's biggest trade partners and bordering neighbor, despite the fact that revoking said trade agreement would cost American jobs. In the accompanying text, the subject then goes on to aggressively suggest that the leader of the neighboring country should cancel their scheduled meeting if they are not going to pay for the border wall that the subject had promised voters as one of the central tenets of his campaign. It is possible that such bluster was an attempt by the subject to unnerve the other country to get an upperhand on negotiations; however, the subject misjudged and the other country called his bluff by cancelling the meeting. Subject's failed negotiation tactic clearly offended his sense of superiority, as could be seen in the form of a retaliatory announcement proposing a 20% tax on Mexican imports, which was later walked-back as "just an option". The reversal was likely due to widespread criticism that not only would U.S. citizens pay for the initial construction of the border wall but would also be required to pay 20% more for goods originating in Mexico, such as fruits, vegetables, construction materials and medical devices. It is not clear how the subject was convinced to soften his message. Study continues.

Ungrateful TRAITOR Chelsea Manning, who should never have been released from prison, is now calling President Obama a weak leader. Terrible! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 26. The subject complains, without a hint of irony, about someone criticizing (in the subject's view) his predecessor. In the article written by the woman the subject is complaining about, the criticism of the subject's predecessor was that said predecessor was too compromising with political opponents. Yet, the subject himself has criticized his predecessor in much stronger terms. This behavior illustrates the double standard that the subject holds for others versus himself, which is in line with symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

Interview with David Muir of @ABC News in 10 minutes. Enjoy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 25, continued. Subject is clearly excited to be on TV and attempts to promote his rambling interview. Subject's belief that this interview may increase his popularity is, perhaps, indicative of a poor understanding of other people. Study continues.

Day 25, continued. Subject again promotes his nearly incoherent TV interview by tweeting a photo of himself. Study continues.

As your President, I have no higher duty than to protect the lives of the American people. pic.twitter.com/o7YNUNwb8f — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 25, continued. Subject claims to be concerned about protecting American lives. Despite such a claim, the subject's repeal of a healthcare law is estimated to result in more than 43,000 additional deaths per year. Subject's claim is further evidence of disordered thinking. Study continues.

Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders. Full speech from today @DHSgov: https://t.co/CXn2u87Vv6 pic.twitter.com/48iZam5Fai — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2017

Day 25, continued. Subject continues to promote his wall by tweeting a video of himself, which is consistent with narcissistic tendencies. Study continues.

I will be interviewed by @DavidMuir tonight at 10 o'clock on @ABC. Will be my first interview from the White House. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/okiZ8ZeDgz — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 25, continued. Subject promotes his first TV interview, perhaps because he is concerned about the ratings for the interview. During the interview, the subject used the words "tremendous" eight times, "great" nineteen times, "big" seventeen times and "crowd" ten times. The subject's limited and repetitive vocabulary, which has been making difficult work for translators, could be indicative of a learning disability. For example, in one exchange where the subject is asked about illegals voting, he replies, "Sure. And I do--and I'm very...and I mean it. But just so you--it was supposed to be a confidential meeting. They turned it into not a con...Number two, the conversation lasted for about a minute. They made it--somebody said it was, like, 25 percent of the...It wasn't. It was hardly even discussed. I said it. And I said it strongly because what's going on with voter fraud is horrible. That's number one. Number two, I would've won the popular vote if I was campaigning for the popular vote." The incoherence of such an answer is highly concerning. Study continues.

I will be making my Supreme Court pick on Thursday of next week.Thank you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 25, continued. The subject shares his plans to pick a nominee for the Supreme Court. Reports indicate the nominee will be an extremely conservative white male, which would be in line with the subject's narcissistic beliefs that people like himself are superior. Study continues.

I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 25. Subject is still clearly bothered by the fact that nearly 3 million more people voted for his opponent in the election several months ago, as indicated by the issuance of two tweets. The subject cannot allow this fact to upset his belief that he is superior and popular and thus he is forced to claim that voter fraud occurred, despite his own lawyers conceding that there is no evidence of voter fraud. Despite this fact, the subject cites a friend who told him he saw "illegals" voting in Florida, a story that has been called into question. The subject specifically mentions investigating people registered to vote in two states. Interestingly, the subject's own daughter and chief strategist are registered to vote in two states. It is not clear if subject intends to investigate his daughter and chief strategist. Study continues.

1.24.2017

Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject is excited to announce that he plans to spend $10 to $25 billion to solve a problem that is declining and is at its lowest magnitude in 40 years. It is not clear if the subject truly believes this problem is more important than allocating money to domestic issues such as health care, which could be indicative of delusional thinking. Study continues.

If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject appears to be tweeting about things he sees on TV. Indeed, reports indicate the subject is substantially influenced by television and some aides are concerned about the time the subject spends watching TV. Study continues.

Congratulations to @FoxNews for being number one in inauguration ratings. They were many times higher than FAKE NEWS @CNN - public is smart! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject praises a media outlet for having the highest ratings for his inauguration and accuses the other news outlets with lower ratings of being "FAKE NEWS". It appears the subject is obsessed with measuring his popularity in TV ratings. Study continues.

Great meeting with Ford CEO Mark Fields and General Motors CEO Mary Barra at the @WhiteHouse today. pic.twitter.com/T0eIgO6LP8 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject sounds as though he may be star struck by meeting with real businessmen. Study continues.

Signing orders to move forward with the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines in the Oval Office. pic.twitter.com/OErGmbBvYK — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject proudly declares that he has signed orders to move forward with heavily-opposed oil pipelines, one of which is being built by a company the subject has (and may or may not continue to have) stock in and whose CEO donated to his campaign. Both pipelines have potential negative impacts on the environment, despite the subject describing himself as an "environmentalist" just hours earlier. Study continues.

Great meeting with automobile industry leaders at the @WhiteHouse this morning. Together, we will #MAGA! pic.twitter.com/OXdiLOkGsZ — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject shows a photo of himself attending a meeting at his job. It is likely that the subject feels this shows he is accomplishing something. Study continues.

A photo delivered yesterday that will be displayed in the upper/lower press hall. Thank you Abbas! pic.twitter.com/Uzp0ivvRp0 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2017

Day 24, continued. Subject continues to ruminate on the low turnout to his inauguration, as evidenced by his tweeting of a panoramic of the event. The fact that the subject feels injured by his lack of popularity is consistent with severe narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) but repetitive, intrusive thoughts could be indicative of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Indeed, research shows that men with OCD are "...more likely to screen positively for personality disorders (PDs) in general, cluster A PDs, antisocial, obsessive-compulsive and narcissistic categories." However, further study is required to assess the possibility of OCD. Regardless, the subject's narcissistic tendencies were corroborated by reports from senior officials of the subject's sensitivity to the criticism. Study continues.

Will be meeting at 9:00 with top automobile executives concerning jobs in America. I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2017

Day 24. Subject appears to have mistaken his Twitter account for his calendar. Regardless, the subject attempts to portray himself as a jobs-creator, despite freezing hiring and promotions in the federal government and freezing EPA grants that employ a significant number of people. Study continues.

1.23.2017

Busy week planned with a heavy focus on jobs and national security. Top executives coming in at 9:00 A.M. to talk manufacturing in America. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2017

Day 23. Subject's rate of tweeting has significantly declined, perhaps as a result of greater than expected demands on his time at his new job. Indeed, the subject did accomplish three notable things in his new position today. First, the subject signed an executive order to pull out of a trade agreement negotiated by his predecessor. Second, the subject enstated a federal government-wide hiring freeze, a tactic that has been shown to be ineffective in controlling federal employment or effecting cost savings, according to a study of the last two major hiring freezes. Thus, while the subject attempts to direct public attention towards manufacturing jobs with his tweet, he simultaneously eliminates opportunity for hiring and job advancement in the federal government. The third thing the subject accomplished today was to sign another executive order that reinstates the "global gag rule" prohibiting U.S.-funded international aid organizations from informing women of all their healthcare options. It must be noted that the motivation for this executive order could be due in part to the women's march drawing three times the number of people as the subject's inauguration. As research shows, narcissistic individuals with low self-concept clarity (i.e., self-beliefs are not clearly and confidently defined, internally consistent, and stable") often react with anger and aggression after a perceived failure, which is always "directed toward the source of ego-threatening feedback". Study continues.

1.22.2017

Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2017

Day 22. Subject has now been informed that peaceful protests are a Constitutional right and the cornerstone of a free democracy. Subject shares his new knowledge, possibly with the hopes of softening his previous criticism of the peaceful protests. Study continues.

Wow, television ratings just out: 31 million people watched the Inauguration, 11 million more than the very good ratings from 4 years ago! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2017

Day 22. Subject displays continued anxiety that his inauguration was not "the best", as it had fewer people in the crowds and 7 million fewer TV viewers than at his predecessor's first inauguration. It is clear that the topic bothers the subject, likely because it challenges his view of self superiority. Indeed, the subject's press secretary gave a speech containing similar lies and attempts to gaslight, which a spokesperson later attempted to brand as "alternative facts". Study continues.

Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2017

Day 22, continued. Subject appears to believe that winning an election means that those who disagree with him should not express their views in peaceful protest, highlighting the subject's inordinate sense of entitlement. It is likely that the subject's sense of superiority was injured by the fact that 3 times as many people attended the women's march in D.C. than attended the subject's inauguration. Subject then uses a victim-blaming tactic in which he attempts to blame protesters for not voting for his opponent and allowing him to become elected instead. Subject's cognitive dissonance is highlighted by subject's failure to acknowledge that nearly 3 million more people did indeed vote for his opponent. Study continues.

Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2017

Day 22. Subject boasts about his speech, which was described as a "despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA's Memorial Wall of Agency heroes". During said speech, the subject stated he has a "running war" with the media because of reports of poor attendance at his inauguration. Constant admiration is necessary to those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and one way to achieve the appearance of constant admiration is through the use of self-praise, self-promotion and "gaslighting". Study continues.

Authors' Note (ed. 1.27.2017): It is now clear that the subject's team brought his own staff to clap and cheer for him during his speech, followed by the subject bragging that his speech had a standing ovation. While bizarre, this type of behavior strongly suggests the presence of narcissistic personality disorder.

"Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. No challenge can match the HEART and FIGHT and SPIRIT of America." - @POTUS pic.twitter.com/26JQOY4pk8 — The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 21, 2017

Day 21, continued. The subject retweets a tweet from his work account, suggesting that he has assigned the work account to a staffer while maintaining his own personal account. The authors believe that this arrangement will facilitate the continuation of this behavioral study by separating staffer tweets from the subject's own tweets. Study continues.

A fantastic day and evening in Washington D.C.Thank you to @FoxNews and so many other news outlets for the GREAT reviews of the speech! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 21, 2017

Day 21. Subject thanks a friendly media outlet and other unspecified media outlets for what he calls, "GREAT reviews" of his inauguration speech. However, the thanking of the media may in large part be an attempt to obfuscate the widespread criticism of the subject's speech. For example, one media outlet called the speech, "unprecedented", "divisive" and "rancorous". Another described it as "uncompromising in tone" and said the subject "dispensed with appeals to unity or attempts to build bridges to his opponents." Yet other media outlets called the speech "radical" and "dark". The quantity of subject's tweets has declined today relative to baseline measurements, perhaps as a result of the learning curve for Twitter on his new secured phone. Another potential reason may be that the subject was busy giving a talk to an intelligence agency, where he complained about the media. Additionally, the attempt by subject's press secretary to gaslight the public regarding the inaugural attendance was widely criticized and may be another contributing factor to the low rate of tweet release today. Study continues.

1.20.2017

THANK YOU for another wonderful evening in Washington, D.C. TOGETHER, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN pic.twitter.com/V3aoj9RUh4 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 21, 2017

Day 20, continued. The use of all capital letters for some words indicates that the subject may be back to sending his own tweets. It is possible that this was a test tweet to instruct the subject on how to use Twitter on his new secure phone. Study continues.

It is time to remember that...https://t.co/ZKyOiOor62 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain...https://t.co/cZKkrGXLSi — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

TO ALL AMERICANShttps://t.co/D7Es6ie4fY — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. What does this mean? Was the subject's phone pried from his (dainty) hands when the Secret Service took his phone away? Although the authors were initially concerned that the subject would end the present study by ceasing to tweet, subject allayed concerns by committing to his continued tweeting despite the phone change. However, it is unclear how long the transition will take for the subject to continue his tweeting. Study continues.

We will follow two simple rules: BUY AMERICAN & HIRE AMERICAN!#InaugurationDay #MAGA — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. Subject espouses an ideal that he does not hold himself to, as it is public knowledge that he does not buy American or hire American with his own companies. This type of behavior is indicative of subject's belief that he is superior and above what he requires of others. Study continues.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth - and we will bring back our dreams! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. Subject repeats promises he made while campaigning, without providing concrete ideas or expanding on how he will do the things he promises. It should be noted that the turnout for the inauguration was low, which prompted the subject to use a photo from his predecessor's inauguration for his Twitter background. Study continues.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. From this moment on, it's going to be #AmericaFirst

Day 20, continued. The subject refers to "forgotten men and women" but it isn't clear who these people are. Study continues.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. This tweet, while neutral at its surface, carries a subtle implication that the subject was chosen by the people of the nation, despite nearly 3 million more people voting for a different candidate. Thus, the subject attempts to inflate his achievement. Study continues.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. This tweet, a relatively unremarkable comment in the speech that was perhaps added by a speechwriter for the purpose of tweeting, follows more powerful language in the subject's speech, stating that, "...there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land", despite the objective fact that the subject is starting a job where the predecessor left an economy with annual GDP growth not seen since 2006, the longest streak of jobs gains on record and the lowest uninsured rate (for health insurance) on record. Given these conditions, the likely behavior of a NPD-type is to claim that conditions are bad so that he/she may claim credit for positive gains made following his/her installment. Study continues.

Today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another - but we are transferring... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People. #InaugurationDay — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20, continued. The subject, who is presumably attending his own inauguration during this and subsequent tweets, is clearly using staff to tweet out selected lines from the speech given by the subject. This assumption is further supported by the appropriate use of capitalization observed in the tweets (e.g., failure to write in all-caps). The subject claimed to have written his own speech; however, such a claim, when made by one who displays all 12 of the DSM-5 criteria for NPD, must be heavily weighed against objective evidence because NPD-types often inflate their own contributions. In order to evaluate this claim, the full speech was analyzed and found to be quite similar to his speeches on the campaign trail. While likely polished by speechwriters, the message was consistent with subject's dark viewpoint. Thus, it is the authors' opinion that the subject's oral speech was mostly representative of the subject's own thoughts, with some exceptions; however, the tweets (by a staffer) reflected a less divisive and more inclusive message, in an attempt to soften the subject's image. Study continues.

Authors' note (ed. 1.22.2017): It is now widely acknowledged that the subject did not write his own inauguration speech. Regardless, it is the opinion of the authors that because the message was similar to the subject's speeches during the campaign, the message, if not the precise words themselves, can be used as behavioral clues.

It all begins today! I will see you at 11:00 A.M. for the swearing-in. THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES - THE WORK BEGINS! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 20. Subject starts a new job today and appears excited. However, subject still displays typical NPD behaviors: i) overestimating his achievements (e.g., as in the use of the words "the movement", despite entering his new job with the lowest public approval of any modern president); and ii) admiration-seeking (e.g., stating "the work begins" even though subject decided not to begin work for two more days). Study continues.

Great Concert at 4:00 P.M. today at Lincoln Memorial. Enjoy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

Join me at 4pm over at the Lincoln Memorial with my family!#Inauguration2017 https://t.co/GQeQpJOgWz — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

Thank you for joining us at the Lincoln Memorial tonight- a very special evening! Together, we are going to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! pic.twitter.com/5d774OCx5o — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Thank you for a wonderful evening in Washington, D.C. #Inauguration pic.twitter.com/a6xpFQTHj5 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2017

Day 19, continued. Subject continues self-promotion throughout the day, consistent with a sufferer of Overt Narcissism (ON). While some component of narcissism may or may not be genetically heritable, unhealthy narcissism has been shown to be associated with "involved but lenient parenting". In short, psychological control of a parent over a child was positively associated with unhealthy narcissism scores. Subject's father, now deceased, has been identified as an important potential factor in subject's poor psychological development. Study continues.

Day 19, continued. Subject declares he is on his way to the inauguration festivities that will occupy his weekend, waiting until Monday to start his new administration. It is unclear whether or not the subject will stay in the capitol for over a week, however, as it has been reported that he would like to go home to NY on weekends. Study continues.

Getting ready to leave for Washington, D.C. The journey begins and I will be working and fighting very hard to make it a great journey for.. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

the American people. I have no doubt that we will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

Day 19, continued. Subject is clearly excited for his big day tomorrow and shows his exuberance with a double tweet. Study continues.

"It wasn't Donald Trump that divided this country, this country has been divided for a long time!" Stated today by Reverend Franklin Graham. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

Day 19. Subject quotes a controversial and divisive televangelist in an effort to appear less divisive. Many of subject's behaviors, such as grandiosity, entitlement and self-absorption, are characteristic of Overt Narcissism (ON), one of two known types of narcissism. Recent findings show that those with ON are "self-centered" and, hence, "awareness of others is compromised by preoccupation with their own concerns." Subject's behavior is consistent with ON. Study continues.

1.18.2017

Thank you to our amazing Wounded Warriors for their service. It was an honor to be with them tonight in D.C. #Heroes https://t.co/YEkyhJ8B5C pic.twitter.com/wFXlWQ0XRr — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 19, 2017

Day 18, continued. Interesting development. The subject commends deserving heroes without excessive self-promotion. Study continues.

Day 18, continued. The subject promotes a musician who will play at his inauguration and, by extension, himself. Subject's behavior is thus consistent with previous observations. It should be noted that such consistency in behavior, if observed in the long term, may facilitate the development of a predictive behavioral model. Study continues.

Looking forward to a speedy recovery for George and Barbara Bush, both hospitalized. Thank you for your wonderful letter! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. The subject makes a show at thanking dignitaries for a letter, as a way to aggrandize himself by association. This motivation is clear by the subject's use of a public medium (i.e., Twitter) to message two elderly people in the hospital, as opposed to another method with a greater probability of success in reaching the intended recipients (e.g., calling by telephone). Study continues.

Writing my inaugural address at the Winter White House, Mar-a-Lago, three weeks ago. Looking forward to Friday. #Inauguration pic.twitter.com/S701FdTCQu — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. Using a staged photo, the subject attempts to promote his upcoming inauguration, possibly due to the news that scalpers are losing money on tickets. Study continues.

.@TheAlabamaBand was great last night in D.C. playing for 147 Diplomats and Ambassadors from countries around the world. Thanks Alabama! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. Subject praises a band in a message that is innocuous at face value. However, the subject feels compelled to mention the specific number of dignitaries he met with, likely as an attempt to maintain a feeling of superiority. Study continues.

No wonder the Today Show on biased @NBC is doing so badly compared to its glorious past. Little credibility! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. Subject continues to expound on his exaggerated jobs creation, indicating the level of emotional attachment he feels to the topic. Study continues.

"Bayer AG has pledged to add U.S. jobs and investments after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, the latest in a string..." @WSJ — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. Subject continues to exaggerate his own achievements, consistent with NPD. Increased behavior of this kind may be due, in part, to: i) increased public criticism of the subject (e.g., in areas related to collusion with a foreign government, nominee selections, etc.); ii) his predecessor's high approval rating coupled with subject's historically low approval rating; and iii) concerns over subject's impending inauguration, for which opposition marches are planned and, perhaps more importantly to the subject, a Springsteen tribute band pulled out. Study continues.

Totally biased @NBCNews went out of its way to say that the big announcement from Ford, G.M., Lockheed & others that jobs are coming back... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS. Ask top CEO's of those companies for real facts. Came back because of me! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

Day 18, continued. Subject slips back into his delusion that he has achieved great jobs gains, despite company denials and other evidence to the contrary. Exaggeration of one's own achievements, a NPD trait, once again is observed. Study continues.

Day 18. Subject starts the day out with some self promotion. This behavior could be an attempt to distract himself from the latest poll that shows his predecessor is the most admired man in the world, which would be especially threatening to a sufferer of NPD. Study continues.

1.17.2017

Thank you to General Motors and Walmart for starting the big jobs push back into the U.S.! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 17, continued. Without directly taking credit, subject continues to highlight job increases that were long planned, thereby attempting to indirectly assume credit. Study continues.

John Lewis said about my inauguration, "It will be the first one that I've missed." WRONG (or lie)! He boycotted Bush 43 also because he... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

"thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in....he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president." Sound familiar! WP — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 17, continued. Subject clearly continues to ruminate about a perceived slight by a civil rights hero, thus devoting two tweets to the subject. In order to prove how superior he is in his own mind, the subject decries a misstatement that was made by said civil rights hero and points to a flawed previous election that many thought was unfairly won. Perhaps the subject does not make that connection? Study continues.

With all of the jobs I am bringing back into the U.S. (even before taking office), with all of the new auto plants coming back into our..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

country and with the massive cost reductions I have negotiated on military purchases and more, I believe the people are seeing "big stuff." — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 17, continued. The subject continues to take credit for jobs he did not create (e.g., Ford, Fiat). The subject continuously employs this tactic to exaggerate his own achievements, another symptom of NPD.

The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 17, continued. The subject displays hypersensitivity to criticism and attempts to discredit the reports that he has the lowest approval rating of any modern incoming president, suggesting self-esteem dysregulation. Within narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), this type of self-esteem regulation (i.e., "I am superior because I am perfect") "...serve[s] as protection against a delusional state of powerlessness or incompetence and potential suicidality." Study continues.

People are pouring into Washington in record numbers. Bikers for Trump are on their way. It will be a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 17. The subject cites a record number of people coming to Washington as a way to reinforce his fragile self-worth, conveniently disregarding the fact that three times as many bus permits were issued for the scheduled Women's March than for the inauguration. The subject's use of the phrase "record numbers" is also indicative of his preoccupation with being seen as superior to all others, again a symptom of NPD. Study continues.

1.16.2017

Day 16, continued. The subject continues to prop up his own fragile self-esteem by praising his daughter, whom he sees as an extension of himself. Study continues.

At 9:00 P.M. @CNN, of all places, is doing a Special Report on my daughter, Ivanka. Considering it is CNN, can't imagine it will be great! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 16, continued. Subject continues to discredit media while promoting a report by said media on his daughter, thus creating an internal conflict between self-promotion (i.e., promotion of his daughter as part of himself) and the belief he (and by extension, his daughter) is superior to the organization promoting him. Study continues.

"@levisteveholt: @realDonaldTrump I appreciate your use of Twitter to keep us informed and maintain transparency." Very dishonest media! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017

Day 16, continued. Subject continues to call the media dishonest, although subject himself is a compulsive liar. The belief that the subject cannot be understood by the regular media because he is too special/superior is a common trait for sufferers of NPD. Study continues.

Celebrate Martin Luther King Day and all of the many wonderful things that he stood for. Honor him for being the great man that he was! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2017

Day 16. Subject praises one civil rights hero, despite disparaging another civil rights hero just days before because Subject feels he must retaliate over any criticism or perceived slight. This deep-seated need to retaliate is likely due to the infringement of criticism on the subject's need for constant admiration. In the subject's mind, he believes he is superior and deserving only of praise; thus, criticism from well-respected people threatens his exaggerated sense of self-importance. All of these symptoms could be ascribed to NPD. Study continues.

.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2017

much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2017

Day 15, continued. Subject lashes out at a leader in the intelligence community because said leader criticized Subject's understanding of Russia. Inexplicably, Subject points to aggressive actions by Russia but continues to denounce NATO as obsolete, despite the fact that NATO undertook a series of measures in response to Russia's aggressive actions. Thus, Subject appears to prove the point made by the intelligence leader that Subject does not understand Russia. Study continues.

.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 15, continued. Subject clearly feels the need to defend himself against a comedy show, illustrating his intense need for constant admiration, another symptom of NPD. Although true diagnosis is not possible without an in-person assessment, the subject displays 12 out of the 12 DSM-5 criteria for NPD. Study continues.

Thank you to Bob Woodward who said, "That is a garbage document...it never should have been presented...Trump's right to be upset (angry)... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

about that...Those Intelligence chiefs made a mistake here, & when people make mistakes, they should APOLOGIZE." Media should also apologize — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 15, continued. Subject attempts to borrow the credibility of others to claim that the accusatory dossier is false. Study continues.

For many years our country has been divided, angry and untrusting. Many say it will never change, the hatred is too deep. IT WILL CHANGE!!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 15, continued. Subject decries the divisiveness that he himself sows, as directly evidenced by his previous two tweets. This type of behavior is often termed "gaslighting" and may be used as a tool of manipulation by those afflicted with NPD. Study continues.

The Democrats are most angry that so many Obama Democrats voted for me. With all of the jobs I am bringing back to our Nation, that number.. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

will only get higher. Car companies and others, if they want to do business in our country, have to start making things here again. WIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 15. Subject again attempts to take credit for jobs that he did not create (e.g., Ford was not planning to move to Mexico and Fiat stated its new U.S. jobs had nothing to do with the subject). Exaggeration of one's achievements is a symptom of NPD. Study continues.

1.14.2017

Inauguration Day is turning out to be even bigger than expected. January 20th, Washington D.C. Have fun! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 14, continued. Subject continues to soothe himself with his grandiose ideas of his inauguration day, as one more performer cancels an inauguration appearance. Study continues.

Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2017

Day 14, continued. Despite calls from fellow Republicans to tone it down, the subject continues to disparage a civil rights icon, long-time public servant and American hero. Subject makes further attempts at deflecting scrutiny away from himself by attacking others, thereby highlighting the insecurity he feels in defending himself. Subject's preoccupation with fanatasies of success and power is another symptom associated with NPD.

INTELLIGENCE INSIDERS NOW CLAIM THE TRUMP DOSSIER IS "A COMPLETE FRAUD!" @OANN — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017

Day 14, continued. Subject uses all capital letters, as if to yell via text, that unspecified "intelligence insiders" claim the accusatory dossier is a "fraud", despite other emerging sources that support facts in the dossier. Observations suggest that subject may suffer from a form of NPD. Indeed, a recent study found that patients with NPD had gray matter deficits, compared to healthy controls, in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that is thought to be responsible for executive function (e.g., "differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes)"). Study continues.

Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017

mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017

Day 14. Subject verbally attacks a civil rights icon and U.S. Representative serving since 1987 due to said gentleman's opinion that he does not see the subject as a "legitimate president" following a classified briefing on the unfolding allegations. Subject's need to be recognized as superior and his "arrogant manner" may be signs of NPD. Study continues.

1.13.2017

The "Unaffordable" Care Act will soon be history! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

Day 13, continued. Subject continues his campaign of deflection in an attempt to manipulate the public narrative. Study continues.

What are Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the F.B.I. Based on the information they had she should never..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

have been allowed to run - guilty as hell. They were VERY nice to her. She lost because she campaigned in the wrong states - no enthusiasm! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

Day 13, continued. Subject continues to bring up his political opponent in the election two months ago as a way to deflect criticism away from himself. Such manipulative behavior is consistent with NPD. Study continues.

It now turns out that the phony allegations against me were put together by my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans - FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

released by "Intelligence" even knowing there is no proof, and never will be. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

Day 13, continued. Subject lashes out at the highly respected agent who compiled the dossier of allegations and has been likened to a real-life James Bond. Continuing his child-like name-calling, the subject then continues to rant against his political opponents on both sides, ending with again citing the implicated foreign government as a source that the allegations aren't true. Despite the subject's protestations, the Senate Intelligence Committee has announced a bipartisan investigation into links between the subject's campaign and the alleged foreign government, indicating others are taking the matter seriously. Subject fails to see any potential conflict of interest from having his own staff investigate his own campaign, thus his assertion that he will have his "people" produce a report in 3 months. Subject's expectation of "special favors and unquestioning compliance" is another symptom consistent with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Study continues.

All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not mine! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017

Day 13. Subject praises his nominees, one of which received a medal of friendship from the foreign government implicated in the allegations against the subject. Monitoring continues.

1.12.2017

Congrats to the Senate for taking the first step to #RepealObamacare- now it's onto the House! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017

Day 12, continued. The subject continues his campaign of deflection. Monitoring continues.

.@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017

Day 12, continued. Subject lashes out at an established media organization because it reported on the scandal surrounding him. This displays a sense of entitlement, consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

Thank you to Linda Bean of L.L.Bean for your great support and courage. People will support you even more now. Buy L.L.Bean. @LBPerfectMaine — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017

Day 12, continued. In perhaps what is a desperate attempt to deflect from the rising allegations of being compromised by a foreign government, the subject promotes a business owned by a supporter. Thus, the subject turns the media towards analyzing the legality of such product endorsements and away from scrutiny regarding the foreign government. This type of manipulative behavior is also consistent with narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

James Clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated. Made up, phony facts.Too bad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017

Day 12. Subject again attempts to claim the allegations against him are false. Subject uses the phrase "phony facts", an oxymoron, which could be a subtle indication of his feelings of insecurity regarding the allegations. Study continues.

1.11.2017

We had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today. A couple of FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the people truly get what's going on — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017

Day 11, continued. Subject praises his news conference (even capitalizing both words) in an attempt to reassure himself that it was not, as one reputable source called it, "a theatre of the absurd". Multiple behaviors consistent with narcissistic personality disorder were observed during subject's referenced press conference, such as: exaggeration (i.e., showing off props, such as reams of blank paper in unlabeled folders); requiring constant admiration (i.e., paying staff to clap and cheer for him); and behaving in an arrogant manner (i.e., shouting down a reporter trying to ask a question). Monitoring of subject's condition continues.

Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

Day 11, continued. Subject uses hyperbole and blame to deflect from increasingly serious allegations. Study continues.

I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

Day 11, continued. In an attempt to deflect intense personal scrutiny, subject spouts a jumble of buzzwords that he remembered riling up the crowds when he was campaigning, phrases like: "win", "movement", "crooked opponents", "victory", "FAKE NEWS" and "sorry state". Deflection and exaggeration of his achievement are consistent with symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. Study continues.

Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

Day 11, continued. Subject finally issues a denial of some of the allegations but notably does not deny the alleged behavior that could have led to compromising material being held by the foreign government. Subject expresses emphatically with all capital letters that he has nothing to do with said foreign government, despite a 2013 video of the subject directly stating, "I do have a relationship [with Putin]". Subject's compulsion to lie may be a symptom of a more serious personality disorder, possibly narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Further study required.

Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

Day 11. Subject does not appear to understand that the foreign government he is accused of colluding with is not a more reliable source than his own government's intelligence community. Again, subject does not directly deny the allegations made. Study continues.

1.10.2017

FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

Day 10. The subject responds to serious reports of his potential involvement with a foreign government and said government's possession of compromising information on the subject. The subject attempts to portray a forceful protest by using all capitals letters. However, the subject does not directly deny the allegations. Study continues.

1.9.2017

It's finally happening - Fiat Chrysler just announced plans to invest $1BILLION in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs. This after... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Ford said last week that it will expand in Michigan and U.S. instead of building a BILLION dollar plant in Mexico. Thank you Ford & Fiat C! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Day 9, continued. Subject uses "thanks" as a way of inserting himself into an issue, even though Ford was not planning to move to Mexico and Fiat stated its new U.S. jobs had nothing to do with the subject. Study continues.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him....... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Day 9, continued. Subject feels particularly emotional about an actress' comments, as evidenced by three consecutive tweets. The subject's intense need to be accepted by those whom he considers to be "elite" (i.e., rich or famous) clearly underlies much of the subject's behavior. The subject also continues to deny his own previous actions, despite video being readily available. Monitoring continues.

Rupert Murdoch is a great guy who likes me much better as a very successful candidate than he ever did as a very successful developer! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Day 9. Subject attempts to use self-praise as a way to prop up his fragile sense of self-esteem. This behavior could be related to the subject's intense desire to gain his father's hard-won affection. Study continues.

1.8.2017

Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly. Media is fake! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Day 8, continued. Subject accuses media of being "dishonest" and "fake", despite the Mexican President directly telling the Subject via Twitter that Mexico will not be "paying for that fucking wall.". Subject appears to ignore facts that he does not want to be true by blaming the messenger. Very troublig. Study continues.

Before I, or anyone, saw the classified and/or highly confidential hacking intelligence report, it was leaked out to @NBCNews. So serious! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2017

Day 8, continued. Subject continues to express outrage over the leaking of a hacking report but has yet to express outrage over the hacking itself. This curious behavior of deflecting anger towards a news agency rather than the hackers themselves suggests the subject has poor situational assessment skills. The closing words in the tweet display the subject's need to emphasize the news leak as "so serious" in order to maintain a focus away from the hacking behavior revealed in the report. Such manipulative behavior may be indicative of narcissism. Study continues.

Kellyanne Conway went to @MeetThePress this morning for an interview with @chucktodd. Dishonest media cut out 9 of her 10 minutes. Terrible! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2017

Day 8, continued. Subject displays a shocking lack of knowledge about television editing, given subject's previous and current experience in the industry. Possible memory or learning deficiencies. Study continues.

Day 8. Subject expresses delight at others showing respect for the office of President. Subject's wording suggests he mistakes their sentiment as respect for himself. Grandiose thinking is common in those with narcissism. Further study required.

1.7.2017

I look very much forward to meeting Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington in the Spring. Britain, a longtime U.S. ally, is very special! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2017

Day 7, continued. The subject expresses a perfectly acceptable sentiment, indicating a fleeting grasp on reality. Observation continues.

Congratulation to Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair. Jane is a loyal Trump supporter & star — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

Day 7, continued. Subject attempts to disguise gloating as congratulations. It is clear that the subject considered this a win for himself, as he has put in significant effort to get said candidate elected. Study continues.

Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only "stupid" people, or fools, would think that it is bad! We..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

have enough problems around the world without yet another one. When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now and.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

both countries will, perhaps, work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the WORLD! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

Day 7, continued. Subject continues to praise a country with a long list of human rights violations, that backed Assad in Syria, and was implicated in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight 17, killing all 298 people on board. Thus, the subject is displaying tendencies to look up to those with the appearance of power, and to look down on those who appear weak. Subject's behavior is consistent with narcissism. Monitoring continues.

Only reason the hacking of the poorly defended DNC is discussed is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are totally embarrassed! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

Day 7, continued. Subject continues to lash out regarding the election, displaying significant insecurity in the fact that his opponent won nearly 3 million more votes than he did. As Michael Kernis writes in his paper, "Following the Trail from Narcissism to Fragile Self-Esteem", "...narcissists are constantly attempting to validate their positive self-feelings through such strategies as self-promotion, attributional reframing, and derogation of others." He goes on to argues that narcissists tend to have unstable high self-esteem and are "more boastful...following successes..." Subject certainly displays many characteristics of narcissism. Study continues.

Intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. Voting machines not touched! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

Day 7. Concern grows that subject has difficulty paying attention to and understanding reports that are given to him. Subject declares that intelligence "stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results" when the report itself states the following under "Scope": "We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election. The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion." It is questionable, therefore, that the subject understood the information presented to him at the intelligence briefing. Behavior is consistent with a possible learning or attention deficit disorder. Study continues.

1.6.2017

Gross negligence by the Democratic National Committee allowed hacking to take place.The Republican National Committee had strong defense! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2017

Day 6, continued. Subject continues typical victim blaming behavior but even more concerning is how the subject knows that Russia did not hack the RNC too. Either subject is making an unfounded assumption or he has inside knowledge from Russia. Observation continues.

Day 6, continued. Subject realizes shockingly late in the day that it is his son's birthday. Hence, subject acknowledges the son with his 13th tweet of the day. Study continues.

Monitoring the terrible situation in Florida. Just spoke to Governor Scott. Thoughts and prayers for all. Stay safe! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. A tragedy took place today and the subject rightfully acknowledged it. Observation continues.

I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. Subject appears to have cycled back to a previous topic of complaint regarding others seeing a report on Russian election interference before him, thus indicating a potentially recurring sense of inferiority. Further examination is required.

Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower to ask me to meet with the editors of Conde Nast & Steven Newhouse, a friend. Will go this AM. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. Subject appears to engage in the practice of "name-dropping" in order to build up his own sense of self-worth. This type of behavior is indicative of the subject's low self-confidence that he attempts to mask with bluster. Monitoring continues.

Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. So much for.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. Subject continues to attack others to distract from recent news that it is now certain Russia made a multifaceted effort to influence the election. Study continues.

Hopefully, all supporters, and those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will go to D.C. on January 20th. It will be a GREAT SHOW! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. Subject appears to be confused by the nature of the upcoming Presidential inauguration, as his description of it as a "great show" is rather concerning. Overuse of capital letters may also signify subject's intense desire to be noticed. Observation continues.

Hillary and the Dems were never going to beat the PASSION of my voters. They saw what was happening in the last two weeks before the...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

and knew they were in big trouble - which is why they cancelled their big fireworks at the last minute.THEY SAW A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. As on day 2, subject's emotions surrounding the events of two months ago continue to run rampant, as evidenced by two sequential tweets. Thus, subject appears to have difficulty with obtrusive thoughts from the past. Observation continues.

The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. The subject has now moved on to delusions that he can control others' actions. He continues to believe he can force Mexico to pay for a wall, despite the President of Mexico declaring they will not pay for said 'racist monument' border wall. Monitoring continues.

The Democratic National Committee would not allow the FBI to study or see its computer info after it was supposedly hacked by Russia...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? What is going on? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6, continued. The subject appears to be asking questions he will soon get answers to during his scheduled intelligence briefing, making it unclear if he instead intended to write a memo to himself on his phone to remind him of questions to ask. Study continues.

How did NBC get "an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?" Who gave them this report and why? Politics! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2017

Day 6. Here the subject displays an inordinate amount of anger at the press receiving information before himself, despite declaring he will skip most intelligence briefings. It is not clear the subject is aware of his chronic hypocrisy or whether he has control over it. Study continues.

1.5.2017

Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

Day 5, continued. Subject continues to lash out at others for making the same business choices he has previously made. One hallmark of the subject's condition has been a chronic state of hypocrisy and projection. Perhaps a new disorder for DSM-6? Study continues.

The dishonest media likes saying that I am in Agreement with Julian Assange - wrong. I simply state what he states, it is for the people.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

to make up their own minds as to the truth. The media lies to make it look like I am against "Intelligence" when in fact I am a big fan! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

Day 5, continued. Subject appears to be confused about the meaning of "agreement". If one states something that another states, the two are generally in agreement. Thus, the inability of the subject to understand the meaning of this common word is concerning and could be indicative of either a neurological issue or an extremely poor vocabulary. Observation continues.

The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is and what a mess they are in. Instead of working to fix it, they.. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

...do the typical political thing and BLAME. The fact is ObamaCare was a lie from the beginning."Keep you doctor, keep your plan!" It is.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

...time for Republicans & Democrats to get together and come up with a healthcare plan that really works - much less expensive & FAR BETTER! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2017

Day 5, continued. The subject appears not to recognize the hypocrisy in blaming Democrats while in the same sentence criticizing Democrats for blaming an unspecified person or group. Subject displays even more bizarre behavior by suggesting Democrats and Republicans work together directly after making divisive and inflammatory comments that discourage Democrats from working with Republicans. Perhaps some form of cognitive dissonance is at play. Further study required.

Jackie Evancho's album sales have skyrocketed after announcing her Inauguration performance.Some people just don't understand the "Movement" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017

Day 5. Who the hell is Jackie Evancho?

1.4.2017

Republicans must be careful in that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017

like the 116% hike in Arizona. Also, deductibles are so high that it is practically useless. Don't let the Schumer clowns out of this web... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017

massive increases of ObamaCare will take place this year and Dems are to blame for the mess. It will fall of its own weight - be careful! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017

Day 4. Subject continues his delusional thinking that the Affordable Care act is causing premiums to rise when, in fact, premiums rose by only 3.1% a year since the ACA, which is less than the 5.6% a year they were rising in the 10 years before the ACA. The subject's prediction that the ACA will "fall of its own weight" is bizarre, considering that the subject himself is trying to get the ACA to be repealed.

Somebody hacked the DNC but why did they not have "hacking defense" like the RNC has and why have they not responded to the terrible...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017

things they did and said (like giving the questions to the debate to H). A total double standard! Medi
