53. Good but no surprise. His mental state is all over the media today.

Listening to a psychiatrist's description of what he observed from Trump's impromptu press conferences on the law yesterday was really alarming.

I've gotten used to Trump being Trump, not normalizing it for others, but for him. The psychiatrist sees genuine diagnosable pathology of paranoia, disorganized thinking, detachment from reality, restyling of reality to fit what he wants it to be, self image as a dictator, grandiosity, inability to accept being "challenged" by disagreement with rages, much more, including clearly getting worse over time and being genuinely dangerous. Unless I misunderstood it, all those claims about media like the NYT and WaPo "failing" actually fit a common pattern of wanting "enemies" dead.
