   Trump wears his heart on his sleeve when all is well.   
   Trump wears his nerves on his sleeve when not all   
   is well, e. g., when he feels provoked, for real or just   
   in his imagination. In both cases, he has no buffer   
   zone, and is driven by his wishes and desires, either   
   for stroking his ego or for patching it up when it gets   
   tattered. In both cases, he must have instant   
   gratification.   
      
   At least, he is not entirely unconscious, as he is   
   keenly aware of the feeling of a large part of the   
   voting public, to the effect that it is abandoned, falls   
   behind further and further, and needs a defender,   
   even if not a moral exemplar. He gets said part to   
   thrill to his rhetoric, and both sides feed off the   
   energy of one another, in closed circle. This, even   
   when he feels threatened.   
      
   When he feels threatened, all hell breaks loose and   
   he loses the plot, goes off the script, and goes on   
   jags, and unintentionally exposes himself and his   
   weak spots for further exploitation. He acts as   
   skinned alive. A few mere words will do. The word is   
   mightier than the sword.
