"No story enrages Donald Trump more than the stories about his physical and cognitive health. And there's a reason for that. One, he knows that he's covering something up, but two, as a malignant narcissist, the one thing you need to project is strength. It's okay to be hated and feared, but you have to appear strong. And so this is really it."
"Donald Trump's Achilles heel is his brain and now, I guess, a whole bunch of other organs," he added. "His ankles, his heart, his hands. His psychomotor performance is getting worse.... He knows it's showing his Achilles heel, and yet he can't stop the behavior because it's involuntary."
"In the article, Trump said that he is in perfect health, refuses to wear compression socks to aid his lower-body blood circulation, takes 325 milligrams of aspirin daily to keep "nice, thin blood pouring through my heart," and merely "blinks" during meetings (rather than sleeping), PBS reported."
Reports of Donald Trump's physical and cognitive health have provoked intense anger from him because they suggest weakness. Observations include regular discoloration on his hands, apparent episodes of falling asleep during meetings, and accounts of consuming three McDonald's sandwiches and fries in one sitting. Trump asserts he is in perfect health, refuses compression socks for circulation, takes 325 milligrams of aspirin daily to maintain "nice, thin blood pouring through my heart," and describes merely "blinking" during meetings. The anger is attributed to malignant narcissism, with noted worsening psychomotor performance and multiple organ concerns described as an "Achilles heel."
