Literally this. My dad had all the symptoms of BPD and was almost a clone of Trump, but an alcoholic version.
He was also a flagship example of “Last Person He Talked To” syndrome like Trump, where if he met someone who charmed him, he would fawn all over that person and even start talking like them for days or weeks after. It just betrays a deep sense of insecurity about one’s own identity.
The flip side of this is if Trump meets with someone else with an opposing viewpoint or condemnation for Mamdani even a day later, it will flip back the opposite direction, because in the mind of someone like this, social approval is more valuable than idolizing someone and feelings change like the weather and dictate the entire narrative.
