How to use "Un-hinged" in context?
The 2016 presidential election was perhaps one of the most contentious in United States history. The candidates were aggressive, and the rhetoric was unrelenting. Part of that was due to the candidacies of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. Trump was the bombastic front runner, while Sanders was the socialist bogeyman. But what really set these two candidates apart was their tone. Trump was a unhinged, belligerent madman, while Sanders was calm, collected, and relatively restrained.
But there was another, darker side to these candidates: their anger. Trump was driven by an innate anger and hostility, which manifested in his rhetoric and policy proposals.
