Related: About this forumIs anyone else worried about Trump's sanity?
I seriously am at this point. This is not hyperbole.
What he's doing is not normal.
I wonder if he's in the early stages of a nervous breakdown.
Fuck his enablers. Fuck Mike Pence. Trump is not fit for public office.

(13,305 posts)One insane man with no power is meaningless in the big scheme of things. One insane man upon whom millions of Americans want to bestow the highest power and authority in the world is what is truly dangerous.

He was right about one thing, though - he probably COULD stand in the middle of Times Square and shoot someone, and not lose some people's votes. Yes, they *are* that delusional and unhinged.

(7,723 posts)disgusting how so many Republicans have walled themselves off from any sense of balance and decency
This is what should concern us.

(36,926 posts)I don't think he is clinically insane, but his behavior is aggressive, erratic and self-defeating. These are all signs of dementia. I bet the family is keeping the true degree of his disease a secret.

MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)These people lie and fabricate "reality" constantly. And unless the family raises alarm bells, doctors don't routinely check for dementia. Obviously their goal is to get him in the White House and then take over. And I don't trust Ivanka one little bit. I think she is the real puppet master over her father. Maybe this is her revenge for childhood abuse. After seeing him put his hands all over her, I do believe abuse happened. But she knows where the money is.

srsly, as dementia set in on my mom, she started saying somewhat bigoted things, tho she was never like that before. i used to say about her- she wouldnt say shit if she had a mouthful. that's why i grew up to be a good liberal.
i have heard others say the same thing. the paranoia gets to some.

(7,723 posts)1) the media is overwhelmed by Trump's idiocy and can't cover everything
2) the media tries to normalize Trump to make it a close race

(3,226 posts)I just hope he slowly cracks up so by the time he leaves the race the GOP will be up sh*t out of luck.
Fast Walker 52
(7,723 posts)although if he has to step down, the GOP is clearly toast for the race.
wiggs
(7,816 posts)he's not raising money, spending money, staffing up. As another DUer noted, there are practically no republican office holders on sunday shows for trump. Trump doesn't want to be president (wants his VP to run things, if elected). GOP would much rather have Pence.
Remember...it's axiomatic that a republican can't win the primary and then also win the general. Trump quitting is a way around that.

(5,624 posts)These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable. To recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind:
(1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.
(2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.
(3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone elses fault.
(4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.
(5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.
He displays all of these tendancies as well!!!

(8,133 posts)The professional side of me says you can't diagnose someone you have not assessed. The unprofessional side would say that he could have Narcissistic Personality disorder or other personality disorder - and perhaps Bipolar 2 disorder (due to his spending habits).

backscatter712
(26,355 posts)Damned straight he is not fit for public office. Especially the Oval Office. He must not be allowed to have his tiny hands on the nuclear button.
He gets bent out of shape when he's criticized by a Gold Star father, or by any of thousands of tweets that poke fun at him.
He's an incredibly thin-skinned manbaby. Which makes him incredibly dangerous if he were to have command of the nation's military, law enforcement, and nuclear arsenal.

(7,723 posts)the thought of him having control of our nuclear arsenal keeps me awake at night. I'm not even exaggerating.
SheriffBob
(552 posts)t hat he will have a nervous breakdown before the election and will not be able to run.
That would probably make Pence the puke the candidate for potus.
no telling which republican ghoul he would pick.
nobody would make as bad a candidate as trump.
