I’d say ‘anger’, as many other such psychological constructs, is ambiguous and can refer either to a trait / feature (an anger-prone person, a person who tends to become angry easily) or to a state (a person who is momentarily angry).
The same distinction can be made vis-à-vis other emotions (sadness, happiness, disgust, anxiety...) and perhaps personality traits.
I’d propose the terms ‘momentarily angry’ and ‘anger-prone’ (and similarly for the other emotions: momentarily sad and sadness-prone, etc) if there’s a need to disambiguate, but not being a native English speaker I’m not really sure of them being fit.
