It's clear now that it's either not an act or it's an attempt to protect himself in the event that he winds up in court.

I think it's not an act, though.
Correct! I don't even know his damn political philosophy! And frankly, neither do his voters.

And yeah....he's off. And I take no pleasure in it. This sort of thing sucks, and is my biggest fear as I age. I honestly would not wish it on my worst enemy. Its part of why the internal battles in the white house are so...disturbing. They dont want to help him, they want to control and use him.
This. I am starting to feel bad for him.

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.

I wasn't holding this up as any sort of proof. I just thought it was interesting. It is a blog, after all, not a peer-reviewed journal.

I would ask that you read some of his interview transcripts and watch his behavior.

THAT is what the blog refers to. This isn't about politics.

I don't have a problem with Republicans, be they actual Rs or people with R beside their name.

I do have a problem with having a POTUS who is mentally incompetent to hold office and yes, I would rather Pence take over, even though I like him less than I do Trump, politically.

Yes. They nearly removed him from office, but it was his 2nd term and he was surrounded by competent, reasonable staff and they felt they could keep him focused, which they largely did.

When is it okay?

At what point do we acknowledge that this is possible, given the evidence?
About 8 years ago.

So, seriously, the only ones that are "nuts" are those that cannot accept the victory of Donald Trump over the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton.

So, in essence, the Washington Post and their followers are the ones that must be nuts having ever believed that Hillary Clinton would win! I know it is embarrassing having supported a loser like Hillary, but time to pull their panties out of a wad and move on.

Articles like this continue to harm the Democratic Party as a whole, but that works for me insuring more Republicans will replace them as time goes on.
So, you read Trump's transcripts and you watch his interviews and you observe his behavior and it seems "normal" to you?

Interesting.

This conversation has zero to do with party politics, btw.

naw it has been going on for at least 40 years that i know of.

to be honest this POTUS is pretty insane sounding. Even ronnie held it together much better. and he was manageable.

Trump appears to be much worse than anyone suspected.

The trouble with thinking he was ok is that we only saw him when he was out in public. We were not privy to him 24/7. IIRC, his kids said it had been coming on for years.

The fact that he knew nothing of Iran Contra tells me he was not well enough to know those surrounding him only told him what they wanted him to know.

But, I could say the same thing about DH's boss. The guy was well, but only knew what he was told.

Then again, as a Libertarian, I'm not too conservative either.
I don't think her politics, which I frankly had no clue about either way, take away from the question she's posing in the blog, though.

At what point is it okay for people to start demanding that we make sure the person in charge of the nukes is mentally competent when we see such bizarre behavior and hear such weird stuff coming out of his mouth?

That was what his doctor and advisers determined. He was functional. He was, however, very forgetful and needed constant prompting. In other words, he had begun to decline, but not enough that he could not be trusted.
