A bizarre video of Donald Trump moving items around on a White House table has prompted speculation the president suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder.

The video, which has gone viral on Twitter and has attracted more than 10,000 retweets, shows Trump rearranging items in a frantic manner in a series of edited clips.

It has prompted a substantial number of people on Twitter to believe the Commander in Chief suffers from OCD.

One Twitter user commented: 'I do something similar - OCD and control issues.'

Another, Matthew Kory wrote: 'He's always moving stuff. Have you ever noticed he adjusts every microphone he steps in front of?'

Caitlin Murray‏ said: 'I think the way Trump does handshakes is weirder. But this is also pretty darn weird.'

One simply said: 'What is happening?'

Trump has previously referred to himself as a 'germophobe', obsessed with sanitation - most notably in response to allegations he was involved in lewd sexual behavior in a Moscow hotel room.

A dirty dossier alleged that in 2013, Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on the bed of the Presidential Suite at the Moscow Ritz Carlton, where he knew Barack and Michelle Obama had previously stayed.

The document was supposedly based on memos complied by a British intelligence operative and released in January,

Trump dismissed it as 'total fabrication' and added that he is a 'germophobe' in a humorous bid to distance himself from the disgusting claim.

Trump once said about handshakes: ‘One of the curses of American society is the simple act of shaking hands and the more successful and famous one becomes, the worse this terrible custom seems to get. I happen to be a clean-hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible.’

This is not the first time Trump's body language and behavior has captured people's attention.

Last month, the president and first lady had an awkward hand-hold on the tarmac of the Palm Beach International Airport. He had just arrived on Air Force One for a visit to his Mar-A-Lago resort.

Trump and Melania were holding hands when he first got off the plane. But the president abruptly let go to clap with the well-wishers who were there to greet him.

Melania reached for his hand again, at which point he brought her hand up towards him, gave it two pats - and dropped it once more.

'TERRITORIAL MARKING' Body language expert Patti Wood has analyzed the clips and says the behavior is what she calls 'territorial marking'. 'He is expanding his territory to show he is alpha and he is in charge,' she told DailyMail.com. 'He is doing it both with side boundaries and boundaries in front of him. 'He is invading other people's space - it's very interesting.' Referring to the moment Donald Trump moves a glass belonging to someone else, Wood adds: 'He is saying, "I don't respect your boundaries, I can invade your space and have the right to do so." 'As he does it, it seems the most natural thing in the world. He is not tentative in any way. 'I see this over and over again - it's how he establishes dominance as soon as he goes into a space.' Wood, author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, added: 'I teach some people to do that if they are about to give a speech or start a meeting, but not to the extent he is doing it. 'Typically you don't touch other people's stuff.' Advertisement

Body language expert Patti Wood said he won't hold his wife's hand in public because he wants to be seen as a presidential alpha.

'Typically a hand-hold shows a couple as a unit,' body language expert Patti Wood told the DailyMail.com. 'But to me, I think he's been saying, "I want to be seen as the president on my own", which is very much alpha. "I want to be just the powerful me." And it's clear that that's his choice.'

And when Trump met British Prime Minister Theresa May in January, people were surprised to see pictures of the pair holding hands at the White House.

A senior source suggested he was clinging on to Mrs May for support because he has a morbid fear of stairs and slopes - known as bathmophobia.

The source said: ‘He hates heights where you can see the ground or sharp inclines even more than germs. He particularly dislikes staircases and his biggest nightmare of all is a dirty stair rail.’

They added that he did not have a problem at Trump Tower because ‘he is always in that gold elevator’. But even that is not without its risks for the tycoon: he reportedly will not press a ground-floor lift button because it is the most frequently touched and therefore riddled with germs.

A source close to the White House cast doubt on the bathmophobia claim, saying he had never noticed Mr Trump struggle with stairs or slopes. He also said there was no mention of the condition on the President’s public medical reports.
