From the Wollf article - I made jokes about being one step from Howard Hughes territory

Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary. He retreated to his own bedroom — the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms. In the first days, he ordered two television screens in addition to the one already there, and a lock on the door, precipitating a brief standoff with the Secret Service, who insisted they have access to the room. He ­reprimanded the housekeeping staff for picking up his shirt from the floor: “If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor.” Then he imposed a set of new rules: Nobody touch anything, especially not his toothbrush. (He had a longtime fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s — nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade.) Also, he would let housekeeping know when he wanted his sheets done, and he would strip his own bed.

My Mom developed paranoia. It was part and parcel of her Alzheimer's/Dementia diagnosis. She was always accusing us of all kinds of nefarious behaviors.

this is the stuff I think dotard donnie hates and pisses him off the MOST. Not surprised about the two bedrooms....what we have suspected about them has been true all along. Ah now, when is the book released? These are only the FIRST round of excerpts you say.
