Does rationality have anything to do with Trump's rage tweets against anyone or anything that opposes him?

That's certainly true, but it's always a good idea to look at the first incidence of attack for clues. This started when Bezos bought the Washington Post, and insolated it entirely from commercial and political pressure. Trump went ballistic. Prior to the WP buy, he didn't seem to care about Bezos at all.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
