tilt your head around and look at it differently. When you normally think of self-regulating emotions you imagine a cool, collected, Obama-esque person. What if there is another kind of control which is essentially the ability to switch into id mode at will.

it's a profound talent. I certainly can't do that. I'm so controlled and conditioned that I have to like, do some drugs, to get where Trump can get on command at any given moment.

I'd challenge that it's "at will" though... more like he can't help himself. He can't switch to ego/superego mode when those are optimal.

possibly but I'm not convinced. he does have a superego but it is constituted so differently from mine that I can't model it. What I've seen from him though is a type of demagogue crowd captivating talent that looks like superego mastery of some kind.

if I'm going armchair psychologist on him though I would say that his narcissistic personality disorder does interfere with executive functioning a lot of the time. he seems to have paroxysms of egomania.
