Trump's Mental Health

Observant1
edited December 4 in Off-Topic
"He’s losing control over what he says, descending into angry, venomous, often dangerous territory.
Note how close his language is coming to violence — when he speaks of acts being punishable by death,
or human beings as garbage, or someone being ugly inside and out."

"But Trump’s outbursts signal something more than the normal declining inhibitions that come with older age.
Trump no longer has any filters. He’s becoming impetuous.
This would be worrying about anyone who’s aging.
But a filterless president of the United States who says anything that comes into his head
poses a unique danger.
What if he gets angry at China, calls up Xi, tells him he’s an asshole, and then orders up a nuclear bomb?"

Comments: Donald J. Trump was inherently incapable of leading our country before his recent outbursts.
Trump's deteriorating mental health introduces significant additional national security risks.
Perhaps it's time to finally invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment?

    It may be time but who is willing to do it?
    Section 4: Involuntary Transfer of Power

    • If the vice president and a majority of the cabinet declare that the president is unable to perform their duties, the vice president can assume the powers of the presidency.

    • The president can reclaim their powers by declaring they are able, unless the vice president and cabinet contest this within four days.

    This is, of course, the $1,000,000 question!

    Ya, he's worse, but it's difficult to measure, since he started in the first place with zero knowledge about the Constitution and the very purpose of government. Everything to him is about the Benjamins. That's the frame he instinctively sees around everything he deals with. No guardrails at all, anymore, and no more adults in the room, like the 1st Term. WHY won't he do us all a favor and just stop breathing? Is he dead yet? He is an air-brained, empty-headed, spoiled little child brat. And what does this say about ALL of those who VOTED for him? Ork?

    These are the signs of the onset of dementia. His niece, Mary Trump, describes his mental decline that follows his father, Fred Trump’s footsteps. The family medical history is well established.

    Show us the MRI images and have the real doctors cross examine the evidence.

    Edits. Seeing him falling asleep frequently during important events should be alarming.

    The more he turns to stone, the more Project 2025 can exercise their agenda under the auspices of Presidential power.

    It is entirely possible that those who follow him will be less clownish and more capable of leading the country towards a vicious dictatorship. As bad as things are we should be careful of what we wish for. Today they are banning books, tomorrow they may ban the constitution instead of just ignoring it.

    Not really. He can't do as much damage when he's asleep.
