I cannot be the only one who

Realizes the Tangerine Terrorist is out of his mind. I don’t care what psychiatric label he gets. He’s crazy. And, the media keeps interviewing a sick man like he’s sane. Please stop! Please. Get the straight jacket and walk him out before the bombs fly.

That ain't the worst part though. He lacks the capacity for empathy. A lot of Presidents and people who've ran for president have been the "born on third base think they got a triple" types, but this guy is fricking so narcissistic, ignorant and transparent on top of it. That makes him so much more dangerous. We saw it from jump street. His inauguration speech was the nail in the coffin for me. It looked like a Batman sequel. I've convinced myself that surely the top intelligence people have already somehow tricked him into believing he has the football. I can't take anything more to help me sleep at night. You are not alone Madashelltoo.

We know HE is nuts, but what about the people who could put a stop to this? Who or what are they afraid of?? That is the Billion dollar question. WHY has this not been ended?

We are in very deep doo-doo. This should have never gotten this far and yet here we are.

WHY?

to support the idiot? He's a proven liar, a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe, and an adulterer who's on video proudly proclaiming that he grabs women's genitals. He's an ignorant know nothing who thinks using his tiny fingers to type inane, grammatically incorrect tweets is a form of governing. And, yes, he's certifiable.

And yet somehow he hangs on to a rabid base of lunatics who think he's God's choice to occupy the Oval Office. Do these people literally spend every waking moment watching Faux "News," listening to reichwing radio, and buying into every last ridiculous pronouncement? Are that many Americans so stupid that their pea brains are permanently set in the "off" position and they just believe whatever crap the Faux talking heads are spewing?

And the so-called "mainstream" corporate media outlets aren't much better. They hint that he tells "falsehoods" (nice euphemism), but no one comes right out and calls him an ignorant moron who belongs in a mental health facility lockup.

I never thought American voters would elect a President worse than the Chimp, and that the media would go along to get along. I was wrong.

Lock him up.

They want a war against Iran?

The very idea of according him the respect of the office is jarring to me. Every single time. He's a traitor who didn't win the office. How can anyone call him Mr. President?

he contracted the IC folks when it was right there on tape. trying to make sense of a crazy person's actions will only make you crazy. It's not a rational thing to do. Those who try to figure out why he does what he does must not know that you don't apply reason to crazy behavior. Duh.

we assume (incorrectly) that there is a rationale to it. A bigger plan or idea that undergirds everything he does. The only one with THAT is Vlad and he ain’t talking too much to us about his end game.

The thing about tRump that we are learning the hard way is that he reacts and lashes out whenever he feels hurt or not in charge. Like a spoiled child, he resents not getting his way so he spews his anger and irritation. Any “plan” or Big Picture gets kind of obliterated by his reactions. Not to mention he is forced to follow orders from Putin which must really irk him no end. He’d much rather do things 100% HIS way but Putin is always peering over his shoulder to see if he is following orders. Those secret meetings with Putin are just so he can be reminded by Putin personally what is expected of him.

But trump has no rhyme or reason to his game plan other than what Putin requires. The rest of the time his child’s brain responds to anything he perceives as an insult or disrespect like a spoiled child does. He stomps his foot, holds his breath and then screams. Long and loud until he gets his way.

By the way.....this method won’t work with “Nancy” — as he is soon to find out. She has 5 children, doesn’t she? I think she might know a thing or two about how to deal with him.
