See, I don't understand that thinking at all. He can't be trusted with a Twitter account, but he can be trusted with the nuclear codes? How does that even begin to make sense?

I think it should matter to ALL citizens.

The Republican party is in control of the White House. If Trump is incompetent (and I think he is), then Pence will take over.

So, why can we not have this discussion in earnest? I mean, we mostly all have, but it's comments like that one that really make me wonder.
Sanctimonious BS.

You people did the same with Bush, you did the same with Regan.

This is a completely partisan thread and you damn well know it.

He just seems like an ignorant jackass with a short fuse to me.

I do know and have experienced people who are Narcissist and it describes the personality disorder of the left well... including Hillary. Colleges are rampant with narcissists. The big one for narcissist personalities is the use of threats of violence or actually violence in an attempt to gain control. More narcissist personalities traits below...

- An exaggerated sense of self-importance,
- Expecting unquestioning compliance with your expectations,
- Inability to admit fault.
- Having a sense of entitlement,
- Envious of others,
- Believing that you are superior,
- Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner,
- An inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others if they don't comply with what you want.
Trump has had all those symptoms since the 1970's if not longer.

When? Always. No sane person would want the job.

Diagnosis does not mean onset, it means when the problem is finally identified.

I never thought any president before Trump was suffering from dementia or another mental problem. I didn't even see it in Reagan, though I had not experienced it close up and personal like I unfortunately have now. The signs are quite obvious with Trump.

And, no... I do not like him. During the campaign, he was kooky, but I didn't see this side of him.

Now, I am worried that his cheese has slid straight off his cracker and that is sad for him and dangerous for the rest of us.

You should see some interviews he did years ago. I didn't like him then, either, but the difference, in terms of attention span and general coherence is like night and day.

Something that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. But hardly makes him nuts.
Watch his interviews from years ago. He has changed.
