(snip) Georgetown University psychology professor and neuroscientist Abigail Marsh explained that the root of their illness often stems from brain development.
"We do know that the severity of these traits is linked to characteristic brain abnormalities that seem to start early in childhood and then sort of progress,".
The orange one will be pissed when he finds out he has Abby Normal's brain.

In July 2020, psychologist Dr. John Gartner, a contributor to the bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," offered his perspective:
Donald Trump's behavior with the coronavirus pandemic is intentional. He is malevolent. He is a first-degree mass murderer. This is a plan.
I am a great believer in the principle of Occam's razor. The simplest explanation is usually the right one. Trump disbanded the pandemic task force. First, Trump said that the virus was not going to come to America. Then he chose not to do more testing. Trump chose to not use the Defense Production Act to make more needed medical supplies and equipment.
Trump has admitted to trying to slow down the testing for the coronavirus. Trump has undermined the governors' efforts to protect the public from the virus. Trump even went so far as to encourage astroturf protests to intimidate Democratic governors into reopening for "the economy." Trump has said that he is against people wearing masks which is the simplest, cheapest and most efficient way to keep us from spreading the virus.
Trump is trying to open the floodgates. He's hosting mass gatherings of people at his rallies and other events. He's doing everything he can to enable the virus.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, is going to be the most successful bio-terrorist in human history. Let me repeat myself so there is no confusion. Donald Trump is the most successful bio-terrorist in human history. This is not an accident.

Guessing to "my people" most of all, both for constantly failing to adore him sufficiently and for offering themselves up Christie-style for kicking, but of course everyone.
