Robert Kagan: "something wrong" with Trump.

One wonders if Republican leaders have begun to realize that they may have hitched their fate and the fate of their party to a man with a disordered personality.
...
The fact that Trump could not help himself, that he clearly did, as he said, want to “hit” everyone who spoke against him at the Democratic convention, suggests that there really is something wrong with the man.
...
...the man cannot control himself. He cannot hold back even when it manifestly is in his interest to do so...his psychological pathologies are ultimately self-destructive.

Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute.
