You need not be a doctor to make this diagnosis.

Donald Trump is a mentally disturbed individual. He lies with utmost frequency. He is not well.

There are few of his supporters that do not see this. Yet, they join the parade. Everyone has a great time.

All is well.

1. I don't know how any rational human can hear his YMCA babbling and not think "...???"

I have absolutely no respect for anybody who is still pretending that he is okay. If Barack Obama had made that same speech, even his most ardent supporter would acknowledge that something was wrong.

I don't get it. There's a perfectly batshit conservative waiting in the wings to take over as president--why is the GOP enabling this and still pretending that he's the second coming? Can't the GOP get a team of doctors to tell the nation what we already know?

that Congress passes some VERY TOUGH laws with enforcement teeth (and no wiggle room) to prevent this from ever happening again. The 25th Amendment was passed to deal with physical health. No one ever thought that a malignant cancer like trump would ever make it into office. Also, I want to see the current laws (like the emoluments clause) tightened up and nailed down.

Dems have played nice for far too long. Time to take off the gloves and pick up the mace.

Unless you’re sitting on a park bench screaming at the clouds.
Trump is showing that he has increasing physical problems. They are probably tied in to mental issues, and likely a result of misuse of pharmaceuticals, but we have a right to a full and independent assessment of the guy who has access the keys to nuclear Armageddon.

He's the same person he's been for years. Nothing has changed, the persistent claims that he's getting worse notwithstanding.

This is who he is. This is who he's been for years. This is what they wanted. This is what they voted for. I don't think their perception of him has changed one iota.
