No hyperbole here!
Cheeto is now saying the Access Hollywood tape is a fake:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/27/politics/donald-trump-access-hollywood-conspiracy/index.html
Yet in probably the ONLY thing he has ever apologized for, he flatly admits saying it --- i.e. "I said it"
He is disassociating from reality in the most obvious way! Certainly, this must rise to the level of Congress taking action to remove him as "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" via the 25th Amendment.

Allowing a President who is actively delusional to have the nuclear codes is a national emergency!
Yes?

It's scary shit.

Scary shit for sure!

(4,268 posts)for as long as they can or until they get destroyed in an election?
It's getting to the point where people will tune in to radio, cable, news depending on what they WANT to hear. I never, ever, ever watch Faux news but there is no equivalent to that on the center/left. Noting even remotely close.
And every day, the right wing is growing their influence through social media foreign based disinformation/propaganda trolls, and US media acquisitions. They are shameless and will stop at nothing.
I don't know. It pisses me off but very few Dems inspire me to action. Can I call them spineless or is that against the rules?

(7,228 posts)I'm not sure why we are not hearing more DEMS calling him out as mentally unfit AND challenging Congress to take action by now?
It's been a year since the election.

(362 posts)Among his many vices, Donald Trump is the most dishonest figure to occupy the White House in my lifetime. Truth for Trump is whatever he feels at a particular moment.
Its really hard to imagine a worse figure than he in the Presidency.

(115,806 posts)He's been doing it all along. Does he believe his own lies? If so, he's crazy. Does he know he's lying and assumes nobody will catch it? If so, he's stupid. Does he know he's lying but is speaking only to the gullible rubes that comprise his base? If so, he's evilly cynical. Regardless, he doesn't belong within a light-year of the White House.

If someone wrote a movie script with this truth, nobody would buy it.

(82,849 posts)Did he not think that Time would come out, like it did, and say that their POTY selection doesn't work the way Trump tweeted? It's the little kid, hands and face smeared with chocolate, who swears he hasn't been in the candy. A three-year-old wouldn't try to pull this kind of shit.
