Former Bush aide: Trump psychologically unwell when he became prez, worse now. Pray for our country.

[highplainsdem]

This is from Peter Wehner, whose Twitter profile says, "Senior Fellow @eppcdc. Worked in Reagan and Bush41 administrations and Bush43 White House. Contributing opinion writer for @nytimes."

This is what he tweeted last night, which I found thanks to tweets this morning from John Harwood and Joe Scarborough:

Mr. Trump was emotionally/psychologically unwell when he became president. His condition is clearly worsening. He's becoming more volatile, erratic and unstable. At some point he's going to blow apart. When he does it'll create a crisis. This won't end well. Pray for our country.

1. They keep saying this but it's the family members who get blown up not the sociopath

He needs to be removed from the house. We can’t keep waiting for him to self-destruct.

12. We can't leave it to others to do the work we ourselves must do.

I'm willing to be patient until the midterms, but I have little hope. Even if Dems somehow succeed in winning both houses of congress they will still have to share power with the party of treason at some level. To me that is unacceptable. The people have to understand that the power truly belongs to them. Why else would the criminal party of the GOP go forward with so much effort to deceive and cover up? The power is with the people and the time for asking others to do what we must do is rapidly running out. It's not just trump, but the whole stain of the GOP must be removed as well. We can take down this illegal government, and it can be done within the law, but it will require sacrifice. The key to ending this farce lies in the economy. If we the people refuse to participate in it it will come crashing down. Without money they have no power. This is on us, no one else will do what we ourselves must.

14. First the House. Subpoena power with TV hearings

23. Are you suggesting a general strike?

If so, let it be.

[The Liberal Lion]

24. A general strike is a good start.

Commerce must be disrupted. In addition to a strike one must commit to one's best ability not to use credit. The wheels of the economy must be brought to a halt, credit is the grease which keeps those wheels going. There is the power of the people.

3. LOL. Well, gee, I guess we're just "not praying hard enough."

[Generic Brad]

17. Does that mean only a good psychologically unwell person can stop him?

Too soon?

[Grasswire2]

4. Intervention warranted.

Republicans in Congress are the enablers of his disease.

[smirkymonkey]

5. Absolutely!

They are the cowards who will not end this disaster of a presidency. They are chiefly to blame.

[LiberalLovinLug]

10. It's almost sick

Like they are using some mentally challenged kid top do their dirty work. Giving him candy, or in Trump's case compliments, to do their bidding.

[Grasswire2]

11. ick

that's a horrible thought

[colsohlibgal]

6. He Is Indeed Mentally Impaired

Evil too and this will not end well. I so blame him but equally blame his enablers in Congress. History will judge them equally harshly.

I keep wondering how he’ll react if he is beaten in 2020 which seems more than likely. A peaceful transfer of power is hard to imagine from this narcissistic pathological liar. Branding the Free Press as “fake news” is not a good sign.....so Hitler or Stalin like.

7. "Faith without works"?

We need a coordinated election plan to defeat these monsters, rumpie and those who suck his buttocks as their mother's milk.

It is not a civil war when color and politics matters not if we succumb to a tyrant. imo

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. 25th-ing him would save face for all the Trumpanzees & avoid civil unrest. Some cover for Rs too. nt

9. Typical "thoughts and prayers" response of a republican.

[gratuitous]

13. From your tweet, Mr. Wehner

It almost sounds like you're saying the dirty fucking hippies who were questioning candidate Trump's fitness for office were right. But we all know that can't be, because in spite of their track record in discerning catastrophe before you or your media enablers could quite see it, the dirty fucking hippies are never right.

15. If Trump feels like he's going down

he won't care how much destruction he causes. He will sit back drinking a Diet Coke, in front of several television screens, feeling very powerful as he watches the world burn. It is not even a far-fetched image. All the indicators are there, no one should be surprised if it happens.

16. The complicate GOP Congress is wringing him for all the political profit they can

before they hit Sell.

[dalton99a]

18. Republicans had no idea in 2016 when they nominated him to be president

[Nevilledog]

19. Here's some extra for everybody in case you're running out.

[Auggie]

20. Fuck prayer. VOTE!

[world wide wally]

22. Make sure you tell this to all your GOP colleagues
