Dr. Drew Pinsky refuted John Oliver's claim that Donald Trump is a "sociopathic narcissist," stating that sociopathy is typically associated with chronic criminal behavior. However, Pinsky speculated that Trump's impulsive speech and "boundless energy" could be indicative of hypomania or a bipolar condition. The discussion shifted to why the public is drawn to "reality television" style politics.
