Is Trump paranoid? I'm no shrink, but his recent accusation that a faulty U.N. escalator and teleprompter which he used recently was an act of sabotage is bizarre. I wish I had a nickel for every out of order escalator I have seen over the years.

I would not be surprised if he is paranoid; it has been an illness of authoritarians throughout history.

Mussolini, Stalin and Saddam Hussein displayed it, as did Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and Domitian way back during the Roman empire.

What makes Trump's case more frightening compared to the others are the nukes he has at his disposal.
