Is Donald Trump insane?
Thats the question being asked in recent days by prominent columnists, both liberal and conservative, about the Republican presidential nominee.
During the primary season, as Donald Trumps bizarre outbursts helped him crush the competition, I thought he was being crazy like a fox, Eugene Robinson wrote in an op-ed (Is Donald Trump just plain crazy?) published Tuesday in the Washington Post.
Now I am increasingly convinced that hes just plain crazy, Robinson continued. Im serious about that. Leave aside for the moment Trumps policies, which in my opinion range from the unconstitutional to the un-American to the potentially catastrophic. At this point, it would be irresponsible to ignore the fact that Trumps grasp on reality appears to be tenuous at best.
Robinson was not the only newspaper writer to recently ask such a blunt question about Trumps fitness for office.
One wonders if Republican leaders have begun to realize that they may have hitched their fate and the fate of their party to a man with a disordered personality, Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote in a separate Washington Post editorial on Monday. We can leave it to the professionals to determine exactly what to call it. Suffice to say that Donald Trumps response to the assorted speakers at the Democratic National Convention has not been rational.
