Clinician notes of therapy session: 

"Two key symptoms of schizophrenia are paranoia and megalomania." 

"Reminds me of Trump: He is a paranoid and a megalomaniac."

"Bingo: He's a nationalist! Cf Greenfeld: '... diseases of the modern world, appeared in Britain as a result of the development of a new idea of nationalism, equal rights, shared political community, elected government--  Those ideas spread through the western world and modern forms of madness spread with them....the United States, the real pioneer of nationalism...the burden is too much and leads to madness... '"
