Trauma, politics 

Just ran into this quote from Politico, and it's my dad to a T.

"he’ll get mad at a specific staffer or broader situation, unload from the Oval Office and then three hours later act as if nothing ever occurred even if others still feel rattled by it"

He'd regularly explode, then go to the office for hours, even days (sleeping in his chair) and would come home like nothing had happened.

Trauma, politics 

I first learned what being triggered was when I saw Trump's body language in the second debate, and it screwed me up really badly. Scary to realize that that's even more exactly him. D:
