No one can diagnose a president from a press conference, but when learned experts, foreign observers, and the president’s own behavior all point in the same frightening direction...
Thank you, I have written my Congress critters and asked why they are abandoning their duties. Unfortunately, I think many of them are cheering him on.
Jaebird: Thanks for writing to Congress. I have, too. Frequently. But you and I are arriving at the same conclusion: "many of them are cheering him on."
Donald Trump’s Easter post was unhinged, deranged, sickening and, frankly, unAmerican. In it, he provided more than enough evidence to show that he is temperamentally unstable and likely deep into the depths of some sort of dementia. His threat of war crimes potentially means that tens of thousands of people will die. The consequences of retaliatory economic or military actions against our republic by other members of the community of nations is unthinkable.
The House and the Senate must act.
Mr. Trump is unfit to remain in the presidency and must be removed at once, either through implementing the 25th amendment or through the impeachment / trial process outlined in the Constitution.
You must do your part. And you must unite with colleagues from across the aisle to accomplish this task. This is bigger than party affiliation. It is about our very survival: No one in the world is safe until this man is out of office.
"Dr. John Gartner’s analysis, whatever one thinks of each clinical claim, captured the central fear: that what the public is watching is not merely bluster or bad manners, but escalating aggression, disinhibition, grandiosity, visible decline, and a terrifying lack of guardrails"
You don't have to be a mental health professional to see that Trump is clearly INSANE. Dr Gartner and others call it frontotemporal dementia or FTD.
Trump's advancing frontotemporal dementia causes the kaleidoscopic circling of his character disordered underbellies. Frontal lobe disinhibition, a component of the dementia, unmasks social restraints that would have contained many of the exaggerated displays and grounded him to reality more firmly when his brain was intact.
His character disorder is despicable, but his cognitive decline is making him non compos mentis.
I just did the post in this chain about the Iranian cartoons on social media. I can't get over where we're at. Our society fears the outcome of high school kids posting taunts about each other on social media. Now I fear the escalation of war bc Iranians are making fun of trump on social media ... because he's insane and the other descriptors above. How ridiculous is that!
You are spot on. Trump's malignant narcissism is a personality defect, a confluence of the worst human characteristics; soulless and manifesting a bottomless pit of heartlessness, sadistic arousal, gluttonous greed, and ballooning omnipotence.
Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Brandy X. Lee have had Trump's number for years now. No question, the inability of anyone to set limits on him and then the enablement of SCOTUS and the GOP dominated Congress has energized this human Frankenstein. Since the themes have been biblical, we behold the Antichrist!
I misread the amendment you referenced…excuse my repetition mentioning the 25th amendment. My angst over our political landscape has resulted in lack of sleep and tired eyes!
That is one way but not sure he has met the requirement. Now the 25th amendment may be the way to go as he has exhibited evidence pertaining to that one. Section 4 of the 25th amendment provides the constitutional mechanism to remove a president for mental or physical incapacity if they are "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office".
And this is the man who's in control of nuclear bombing! We should ALL, regardless of party, not sleep well until this menace is forcibly taken out of office.
How much longer will it take for the GOP to realize we are at the precipice of loosing everything? This simply can't continue, we all realize we are the mockery of the World, soon we will be bankrupt as foreign nations are withdrawing their money and gold (check out France's recent withdrawal of gold) then watch the billionaires move out. He has already decimated out healthcare, and any help for the poor and hungry. Social Security is next.
WAKE UP People.....HE DESTROYS EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES

This is excellent. Do you mind if I send a copy to my Senators and House Representative? I don’t write that well but we all need to reach out to Congress that Trump is unfit and unable to perform his duties. This torture needs to end. There is clear evidence that he meets the criteria for 25th amendment.
Mary, your newsletters keep me grounded when I feel like I’m close to falling over the cliff. I hope you know how important your writing is to me and many others.
My friend just asked me to have a listen to a MeidasTouch podcast bc it was reporting another unexpected turn of events. It seems the Iranians have a sense of humour along with an insightful take on how to get under trump's orange skin. It seems there are Iranian sympathizers all over the world doing a coordinated social media campaign making fun of trump. I didn't view the podcast but Ben Meiselas did a good job of describing the cartoons that are being created to taunt trump. I guess these jokes don't appear on social media in USA and I wonder if he'll hear about them. This could be more effective at angering him than any military weapon. I say that bc I agree with those who are watching him and seeing his mental condition worsening. This tactic could hit it's mark ... that kinda scares me.

Exactly Vi,

Absolutely. Please do. I swiped most of this content from our local Indivisible group.
Cheers!
Thanks! I’m with a local Indivisible group as well! :-)
