22. Whatever he's got, all we need to know is that he never should have inflicted himself in our lives

and that all of his enablers are at least as bad as him for not stopping him to begin with and not removing him soon after.

We've heard diagnoses since Day 1, have seen surveys and essays by hundreds of mental health professionals, and have not been able to make successful the pitiful political remedies against the odds of his political scavengers of their own power.

I read massive volumes about HITLER and the Third Reich in my adolescence, and there are millions of words more ever since, and I still view the occasional new video covering ever more nooks, crannies, and nuances of that period and that man/Adolf HITLER. And it will be for scholars and yes medical/psychological analysts to document whatever the fuck is wrong with THIS one/TRUMP - *after he's gone*.

Our predicament right now is not to diagnose him now unless it's for the useless 25th Amendment, but rather to extricate ourselves the fuck out from this jerk creep. All the current glowing polls better not burst our bubble on Election Day, because that's apparently the only way out. And we've seen how all of our "constitutional" remedies and protections and rights are not worth toilet paper.

And so are meditations on his physical, mental, and amoral/immoral conditions.

***********ON EDIT: I really shouldn't inject myself into threads if I am too contrarian for its theme, and especially if I haven't performed due diligence in studying it to be sure I can participate well. These are lessons I've never learned and why I get myself into trouble here sometimes. I don't mean to rain on other people's discussion, and discussions *do* belong to those who want to pursue them, not for others like me in this case. And I definitely don't want to argue, although I tuned in because it interested me to the point of eliciting an opinion within me (which I *could* keep to myself). So this is my opinion, and everyone is perfectly free to skip past it without argument and enjoy the thread.
