“The President is Missing” by Bill Clinton (post 2) and James Patterson (post 5): Prompts more speculation about Clinton and multiple personality

During Bill Clinton’s presidency, there were jokes and speculation about his having multiple personality, because he seemed to go from Jekyll to Hyde.

More recently, in 2015, an Off-Broadway musical was based on the premise that Clinton had multiple personality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton:_The_Musical

Now, on tour for the new book, Clinton mentions that he had enjoyed reading Patterson’s Alex Cross novels, more than one of which feature a character with multiple personality.

In creating The President is Missing, I don’t know whether Clinton was just a resource for realistic details or if he actually did some of the fiction writing. The latter would make multiple personality more likely.
