Open Letter to Donald Trump and those close to him
Mr. Trump, what are you doing to yourself? In all seriousness, please listen to the private advise I am sure you are getting at this point. Anyone that actually cares about you is telling you this: Please seek out a mental health professional. Your implosion and spiral into the dark abyss of mental illness is awkward to bear witness too. Those close to you should be ashamed of themselves. Does no one have the heart or courage to tell you that you didnt send people to Hawaii and there is no evidence? These people dont exist. You dont have any evidence. You dont have teams of investigators in different states. These things just didnt happen. No one is telling you that and that is disturbing as much as your current situation. I am sorry that your breakdown has become such a public spectacle. I am sad for your family having to come to terms with this new chapter in their lives and wish them the best of luck with the new challenges they must face. Ive experienced the pain and sadness and guilt that comes with having a family member that develops mental illness. It is not your fault. No one is to blame. To the family and close advisors of Mr. Trump, please, figure out a strategic way to politely extract him from the public eye, go overseas, make something up. Whatever it takes. No matter what they way is, dont ignore it and dont let others play him like a fool and drain him of his wealth to benefit themselves. No matter where and no matter how, I hope you get the help you need. Good luck.

(1,017 posts)This is a way for Romney to appeal to the right wing base without taking a stance on a serious issue. He just loosely associates himself with Trump and Trump throws then some red meat. Its not real meat though, its fake, but they like the taste of it anyhow.

(8,698 posts)more than any other. Anyone that runs with this has serious mental health issues. This is an old and played out talking point that was proven false a long time ago. It was awkward and strange then and even more so now. It makes no sense to throw yourself down to win Rmoney a couple extra votes in states that are already red (I believe this meme only has legs in the redest of states) so what is there to gain? No other answer than he really believes it and should seek professional help.

(2,307 posts)If so, it fits the pattern. Romney is trying to position himself to have others do all the dirty politics so he can play Pontus Pilot and wash his hands of all the shit being shoveled around. Like every other part of his life, he has servants to do his bidding. Too bad even his normal day in day out action show what a pompous rich prick he really is.

(2,307 posts)in all seriousness I think he does have a mental problem.

(8,698 posts)I honestly believe what I am saying. I believe it of ANYONE that runs on this talking point. Why it matters so much with Trump is that he has money and influence and when you combine that with mental illness, no good can come of it. If it were within my power and I knew of a pilot that believed this, than he would be grounded. If you own a fire-arm than your CC should be pulled. If you are in law enforcement than you should be riding a desk. More imporantly, they should be given a mental health evaluation.
