My grandfather has always been the calm one, sweet caring and the rational one. Now suddenly he has these episodes of anger that is completely irrational and completely out of character for him. I am doing everything I can to help him but he is stubborn, and nothing I do for him is right. He sees the situation the way he sees it and no other opinion or point of view should be considered as its wrong.

Your Grandfather has recently lost his home & independance, his familiar environment & neighbourhood & moved interstate? Is that right?

I'd probably be angry all day every day, not just in episodes. He will be grieving all he has lost. Give him time & kindness.

Just in case there is a bit more to it than the move, please get him tested for a UTI.
I agree with Beatty that he is totally out of his comfort zone and a little time might help.
Congrats on your new home.

Depending on his abilities & interests, joining a seniors group of some kind may help?
A few mates his own age.

If he has Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, please try to understand it is part of the disease process. Change in personality is the disease doing its damage. Your grandfather can not control his behavior. Understanding this may help you view his outbursts in a different light and deal with them more rationally and effectively.

Test for a UTI just to make sure it isn’t this. UTIs can cause increased confusion, changes in mental status, and increased weakness in older folks.
