Trump descending the escalator revealed a severe personality disorder. Time convinced my friends I'd been right (full disclosure: I'd worked in a psychiatric clinic a long time). Then his niece, Mary Trump gave a up-close and personal account as a relative and clinical psychologist. Finally, the nation's psychiatrists abandoned their self-imposed restraint (from the Goldwater years - and no, Barry was not mentally disordered in any way) and confirmed all this from a safe distance.

I also think it is a backlash to the feminist and metoo movement as well.
