I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

  1. I bet it's actually 'terminally ill with malignant narcissism'...trump be like,'if I gotta die, I'm taking the world down with me" mentality. Fun🤷🏻‍♀️😣💀

  2. I’m old enough to remember when you and your ex propped up this wannabe dictator and helped him get elected. And now, here we are.

  3. If you have basic discernment skills it’s easy to see there is something wrong with him. The problem is there is also a lot wrong with the folks who voted for him, including a lack of basic analysis skills. So, here we are. Around and around we go.

  5. They truly do not understand what that means for him and all of us. They still think he is working hard because he loves them and America while we foot the bill for his golfing while the world burns.

  6. Frontal lobe dementia On top of Malignant narcissism On top of probable late stage syphilis On top of being a Russian asset On top of being a lifelong liar, rapist, conman.

    this is the guy Americans voted for.

    You deserve him!

    I also remember this. Any candidate for the presidency should be required to pass an in depth psychological evaluation. You hand control of the government and nuclear weapons to someone who has a personality disorder.

  8. 🧐 I wonder why trump isn’t worrying about losing his own money? Along with most republican senators & representatives?? Did he dump his investments in the markets? Is bitcoin unaffected by tariffs? Did he share this with his chosen slaves in Congress (ie: insider trading)? Who else was tipped off?

  10. How many times, trump looked in the mirror ( himself ) in his life, and thought he was the best in the world ???

    Even when he bankrupted 6 times.

    How many hours, a poor potus elect with no tie and no suit will survive doing the same thing ??? 2 hours ??

  13. From his behavior in media, I've always suspected that he's a narcissistic sociopath suffering from dementia. Some with dementia exhibit anger and aggression. If a non-professional can detect that something's wrong, I'm sure mental-health professionals will have a field day with him.

  14. I relished your commentaries about his mental demise. His niece also spoke of his mental issues. Why is he still on office?

  16. Unfortunately, 99% of America, ESPECIALLY the MSM, wants to ignore that and chalk all of this up to "policy".

    Of course, they can find no previous examples from any prior administration in American history of such drastic policies.

  17. The American political system that failed to hold Trump accountable for his many crimes and then sent him back to the White House: that’s where the greatest danger still lies. Massive reform and massive wealth redistribution or we further collapse into fascism

  18. Elect an abuser, get abused.

    I wonder what these 225 professionals advise for deprogramming Trumpers.

    Because without that, Congress won't impeach and remove Trump from office.

    And that means ~20 months more destruction and insanity.

  19. He couldn’t get away with all this madness without the aid of the rest of the people in the party.

    In fact, not only are they complicit, in many ways I hold them more responsible because you can hardly expect a madman to hold himself to account. They aren’t mad, they’re just greedy and selfish.

  20. Sadly, most of the people who needed this information don't read the New York Times. Shoulda put it in a right-wing paper and dumbed it down significantly.

  21. I think that tour could have been furthered if you had a book tour to graduate courses exploring best headlines in college newspapers. Our newspapers & state run TV are so filtered the public are held in check & religion picks up loose end in indoctrination rituals Intellectual reasoning is bad

  22. Tonight, I watched Lawrence O'Donnell's show on MSNBC, but flipped between that and a documentary on the British criminals, the Krays. They were mentally ill. They brutally blocked any opposition. But the similarity between them and Trump was striking. And tonight, SCOTUS gave warrant to Trump.

  25. So, what does it tell you that despite all this [and this letter,] "millions" voted for trump, hundreds of billionaires are working and spending billions to advance "his" catastrophic agenda, and the entire republican party supports him?

  26. Pshaw, experts, what do they know? They only created vaccines, Lithium, Xanax and Ozempic, put a man on the Moon and developed jet transportation.

    I trust "common" sense.

  29. He did not win legitimately. You know that. It is mathematically impossible that he won every swing state and the popular vote. That Kamala chose not to have any of those states audited was infuriating.

    Why is just about everyone still tiptoeing around him? Including the press? “Is it a negotiation? Is it not?” It’s all of the above designed to create chaos and show his power that’s been stolen from us. This will not end well.

  35. 2/2 I can say w/o reservation that no-one I've seen, even the most violent criminals, more clearly and persistently exhibits the traits than 47. He's completely incorrigible. As a guide, put in lay terms, anti-social personality disorder is the equivalent of being an selfish, irreparable asshole.

    0
  36. 1/2 Geez, it is obvious to a duck, even Daffy Duck, that 47 has anti-social personality disorder and more. In my work as a criminal defense lawyer, I've had the opportunity to sit in on exams and observe behaviors outside of the clinical diagnostic setting.

  39. Based on the NYT's headline "Trump Threatens New China Tarriffs on Volatile Day in Markets", he's now too far down the rabbit hole with this for his narcisistic personality to walk this back. We are totally screwed.

  45. This is so true. I married a psychopathic narcissist & luckily escaped with my sanity before it was too late. I see it clearly in Dumpty having been close to it - the cruelty & insane actions are supposed to shock - he lives for reaction. I've had lots of therapy, the magas live in his unreality.

  48. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔 One has to wonder if the attempt on his life last summer did even more damage to Trump psychologically. The guy was a narcissist & deranged even B4 that-suffering from paranoia & grand delusions. Plus his conviction on 34 counts + Trump Org cases. Call the guys in the white suits with a net!

  52. Sadly, there are people who, for greed, power or revenge, will use someone like Trump for their own personal gain. Lesson of the day for caregivers: no good can come from allowing people who are only out for themselves near your loved one who is cognitively or otherwise impaired.

  53. Everyone needs to call GOP members of Congress and tell them to #ImpeachTrumpNOW or #EnactThe25thAmendment

    How could you??? Why???

    Are your so desperately STUPID and SUICIDAL that you wanted to watch your country burn to the ground???

    You failed your country. Your fellow Americans. Your childrens. And ultimately the World.

    Shame on all of those who voted for him.

  60. And are we all just not going to talk about how they just fake tweeted their way into holding off a massive drop in the U.S. markets so far today?

    I saw a lot of people posting that thing about the stock market being the lighthouse… while ignoring how easily it can be manipulated

  61. I feel like the world would benefit if everyone just took an intro to Abnormal Psychology class (PSYCH 239 at my institution).

    But then again, I forget that half the world villainized education. But you know, you could avoid the narcissism if you knew the signs!
