What type of mental health condition is a person suffering from in Canada that cannot stop talking about TRUMP 24 hours a day and has posted 40,000 posts what a bad guy TRUMP is.
What condition might he be suffering from and is there any help for him.

I’m not a psychiatrist, but I can offer some observations that might help you think about what could be going on — and what to do about it — in a general sense (especially from a Canadian perspective).
Possible contributing patterns A person who cannot stop talking or posting (in this case, 40,000 posts about Donald Trump) and who seems fixated on a single topic may be showing one or more of the following broad patterns. None of them are diagnoses on their own — diagnosing requires a formal clinical assessment.
Pattern What it looks like Why it matters
|
| Excessive talking/posting (“pressured speech” or “hyperverbality”) | Talking (or posting) at length, quickly, often on one theme, interrupting or dominating the forum of communication. Verywell Health+2Charlie Health+2 | This can be a symptom of mood / manic states (e.g., in Bipolar disorder), ADHD, anxiety, or other conditions. Healthline+1 | | Fixation or obsession on a topic | Constant focus on one person, idea or theme (here, Donald Trump) to the exclusion of other topics. | This could reflect an obsessive-compulsive type pattern, a hyperfixation (e.g., in ADHD), or even a personality style. For example, hyperfixation is described in ADHD contexts. add.org | | Repetitive behaviour (posting the same theme many times) | 40,000 posts repeatedly critiquing “TRUMP is a bad buy” suggests a repetitive and persistent behaviour around one theme. | Repetitive, intrusive focus may suggest features of disorders like Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or personality disorders, though again it doesn’t establish them. Wikipedia+1 | | Possible attention-seeking or interpersonal issues | If the posting is in public forums and seeks responses, attention, controversy, validation, etc. | Some personality-disorder frameworks (e.g., dramatic, attention-seeking behaviour) speak to this. For example, Histrionic personality disorder involves an overwhelming desire to be noticed. Cleveland Clinic |
What might this be, in “lay-terms” Putting that together: the behaviour you’re describing might indicate (though not definitively) something like one or more of the following:- A manic or hypomanic phase (in bipolar disorder) where someone feels driven to talk/post incessantly and can’t “turn off” the theme.
- A hyperfixation associated with ADHD (especially if there were other symptoms like high distractibility, impulsivity, etc.).
- An obsessive-compulsive style (if the posting is driven by intrusive thoughts or relief/compulsion cycles).
- A personality-driven pattern — e.g., someone with strong attention-seeking where posting repeatedly about the same thing gives them either attention, identity, or emotional regulation.
- Or a mix of the above.
Because so many posts about one topic is quite extreme, and if it’s interfering with daily life (work, relationships, sleep, health), then it's worth taking seriously.
What to do / how to help Here are some suggestions that you (or someone concerned about that person) could consider in Canada:- Encourage a professional assessment
Suggest seeing a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist who can assess mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, etc. Many of these conditions can overlap and only a professional can diagnose.
- Focus on functioning
If the person’s posting behaviour is interfering with their life (jobs, relationships, sleep, health) then that is a red-flag that treatment is warranted.
- Supportive interventions
- Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) may help with impulse control, intrusive thoughts, and regulating behaviour. Verywell Health+1
- Medication may be necessary (for example mood stabilizers, ADHD medication, or SSRIs) depending on diagnosis.
- Lifestyle: sleep hygiene, limiting stimulus (social media, constant posting), routines.
- Boundaries and support network
If you’re involved (friend/family), set healthy boundaries (“I’m here to support you but I will not engage in 40,000 posts”), encourage offline time, encourage other interests, and reduce sole focus on the fixation.
- Consider underlying causes
Sometimes such persistent behaviour can be a reaction to stress, trauma, isolation, or an escape. Asking quietly what is driving the fixation (“What do you hope by posting so much?”) might help.
Important caveats - You cannot “diagnose” from outside the forum. The behaviour could be due to many things (including non-clinical personality quirks, hobby obsession, extreme political passion) which are not necessarily a mental health disorder.
- Context matters. If the person is functioning well otherwise (working, socializing, healthy), then it may simply be an extreme hobby or interest.
- Stigma & care. Suggesting you “have a mental illness” to someone can backfire unless done sensitively. Framing as “I’m worried about how much this is taking over your life” is gentler.
- Online behaviour may hide other issues. Social isolation, sleep deprivation, substance use, or other conditions can amplify posting behaviour.
Probably not dangerous in any physical-harm or violence sense — but he could be emotionally volatile, highly fixated, or socially disruptive. Here’s how to think about it realistically.
1. Does obsessive political posting = dangerous? Almost always no.
People who post tens of thousands of messages about a political figure (Trump in this case) are typically:- emotionally invested,
- fixated,
- seeking validation,
- or channeled into a hobby-like obsession.
This kind of behaviour is very common in online political spaces and does not usually correlate with physical violence or real-world danger.
If anything, it indicates someone who lives through the keyboard, not in real-world action.
2. Signs that could suggest someone is dangerous (I’ll lay these out clearly so you can compare.)
A person becomes potentially dangerous if they show:
Threats toward individuals or groups Clear statements of wishing harm, violence, or revenge.
Paranoia + fixation + “call to action” Claims that someone must be stopped, punished, or confronted physically.
Weapon fixation + blame/victimhood narrative Talking about needing weapons, justice, revenge, or “fighting back.”
Rapid personality change Sudden deterioration, aggression, or erratic unpredictability.
Stalking or doxing behaviour Trying to contact, hunt down, or invade someone’s life offline.
If you have not seen the above combination, the risk is low.
3. What your description suggests instead What you described does not match the danger profile.
Instead, it indicates something like:
• Political hyperfixation A person who cannot mentally disengage from a topic.
• Obsessive posting as emotional regulation It becomes a habit, coping mechanism, or identity.
• Possible anxiety or compulsive thought loops Anger at Trump might be the anchor for deeper frustrations.
• Social media addiction 40,000 posts = dopamine hits, ritual, and daily routine.
• Loneliness or lack of internal structure Forums become “home,” and posting becomes self-purpose.
These types are irritating, not dangerous.
If you took away the internet, they wouldn’t storm into the world and act out — they would just feel lost.
4. What actual dangerous people look like online This is important:
Dangerous people don’t usually post obsessively about one political figure being “a bad buy.”
They post about:- enemies,
- persecution,
- revenge,
- martyrdom,
- “I’m going to settle this”,
- “someone needs to pay”,
- violent fantasies,
- apocalyptic scenarios,
- plans.
Your guy is doing none of that.
He is ranting — not mobilizing. |
