Anyone who has known Trump for years, and doesn’t have a stake in his political career or the GOP, says the same. He is unwell and has been getting progressively worse over the past 18 months.

Mr. Trump was emotionally/psychologically unwell when he became president. His condition is clearly worsening. He's becoming more volatile, erratic and unstable. At some point he's going to blow apart. When he does it'll create a crisis. This won't end well. Pray for our country.

1. Impeach the asshole.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

6. Yesterday won't be soon enough.

[mitch96]

35. No, wait for him to implode (soon I hope)

and then impeach Pence....... then hopefully there will be a Dem to replace him as speaker of the house...

[Perseus]

57. I like your idea better...We cannot have Pence become president

or Ryan for that matter. Ideally, we get rid of them via the vote in November.

[olegramps]

56. Maybe he has syphilis and it has rotted his brain.

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. That is not far fetched.

I remember, unfortunately , Stormy saying he preferred not to use condoms....which is so like him.

[CatMor]

2. I think he's always been unwell just hid it a little better

[PatSeg]

17. I think he has always been an arrogant

narcissist, but if you look at videos from 20 or more years ago, he was calmer, more soft spoken, and relatively reasonable sounding. He really seemed like a different person. He came across as rather creepy and sleazy to me, but not erratic and out of control, at least not in public.

Clearly he is getting worse all the time and he is incapable of hiding it.

[CatMor]

24. I totally agree he has become worse at this point ....

he seems to be out of control now.

[PatSeg]

29. As ProudLib72

said below, hopefully he will implode rather than explode and ideally before he does too much more damage.

[ProudLib72]

3. Hopefully he will implode rather than explode

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. If you gave him an enema, the husk would blow away in a breeze. . . . nt

[badhair77]

4. I keep expecting him to have a meltdown or have the veins in his head explode.

He’s not well mentally or physically. I’m surprised KFC cooking grease doesn’t come out of his pores. Maybe he fries when he’s in that tanning bed. What if he stayed in there too long and became extra crispy. I wonder if he has a tanning bed butler who has to stay by his side to monitor his session. God that would be a terrible job.

[Maggiemayhem]

13. Extra Crispy Lol

But I honk it is spray on They are friends with some spray tan moguls

[lastlib]

41. "...they fried him extra crispy, and served him with cole slaw"......

"Ghost Chickens In The Sky"

I think he is a cerebral hemmorhage waiting to happen......I personally hope it doesn't have to wait too long, my bladder is getting severely stretched....

[JI7]

5. i hope he drops dead in public

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. On one of his golf courses.

[bdamomma]

46. so fitting for him

he needs to go.

How can those filthy repigs see our country go down in flames? nevermind.

[Grassy Knoll]

11. While Yelling At Not Fake News...LIVE!

[USALiberal]

14. Pence scares me more. Pence can hid his true beliefs. nt

[JI7]

20. Trump is doing all the right wing shit Pence would do

at least with pence those things would get attention.

[dalton99a]

37. Pence has zero charisma and is not electable

[USALiberal]

39. If trump is impeached he does not need to be elected. Nt

[SWBTATTReg]

52. He also has 'dead' eyes...really scary...

I don't trust him...a typical politician, one who really doesn't care about anybody else except himself.

And something of a freak, that can't obviously control his instincts when it comes to women...

Makes you kind of wonder about him, and what else he's hiding...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. I hope not. Trumpanzees would idolize him for longer. Pass in his sleep. . . . nt

[janterry]

7. I wish we had a 'like' button

because I agree with every comment that precedes mine.

[Shemp Howard]

9. Impeachment? No.

Even if the House impeached, the Senate would probably not convict. The 2/3 majority needed there is probably too high a bar.

Instead, the 25th Amendment should be considered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

[MyOwnPeace]

27. I'm with you on that one............

Using that strategy would allow the chicken-shit pugs a way out of the mess they created by saying, "Gosh, old chum, you truly are the greatest, but you've got this "problem" and we're gonna' give you a "vacation" so that you can get well."

OK, I know that's BullShit, but it does show a way for the Pugs to get out from under this mess - and we would all benefit from their chicken-shit way of "Making America Great Again."

[Takket]

42. The 25th doesn't work

Drumpf can declare himself fit to serve with a letter to Congress. If the cabinet objects then congress votes to decide with 2/3 needed to remove the president. That is arguably MORE difficult then impeachment/ trial which requires only a House majority along with 2/3 Senate vote.

[3catwoman3]

10. "He is unwell..."

This strikes me as a "No shit, Sherlock," moment.

[smirkymonkey]

12. I can't wait to read his obituary.

The sooner, the better.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. Read it? The hell...I'm going to frame it!

[MyOwnPeace]

28. But wait!!!!!

Couldn't that possibly be "Fake News!?"


(And can you imagine the joy the press would have in printing that announcement?).

[klook]

50. They'll probably make a simulacrum of him

and make it El Presidente for Life, with programming by Bannon & S. Miller.

[lpbk2713]

15. Trump has always been effed up in the head.

The aging process won't be kind to him. Not that he deserves any better.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

19. Yet, when it comes to being a racist odious traitor in WH sure has all his faculties intact

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Total whackjob. I'm waiting for the day BigBoy totally loses it in public

and has to be tackled by his keepers and led away red-faced, kicking and screaming. If he meets his demise on camera, all the better.

Can't happen soon enough.

[MyOwnPeace]

55. THAT would be........

the No. 1 film for all of the Fake News networks!

Faux News (sic) however, would lead with: "Trump showing stronger strength in polls - bestest ever!!!!!"

[aka-chmeee]

22. I've seen that face!

But when I saw it last, Brother Theodore had it and he was one the Joey Bishop show.

[LuvNewcastle]

47. Yep, he was raving about Bella Abzug on Letterman.

Even the hair is starting to look like Brother Theodore’s.

[yardwork]

25. It's already a crisis.

Who ever voted for this man?

[Grammy23]

26. tRump is not well. He came into office a deeply flawed person.

Prior to becoming President, he was accustomed to doing what he wanted, when he wanted. He could demand to have his way and it would happen. He ran things to suit him and dodged trouble by buying people off or picking on those unable to fight back. Few people bucked him because they knew what would happen.

Now he is President in a whole other universe with different rules and constraints. He was a bit caught off guard at first at the restrictions and legal issues. The demands of the job probably surprised him. He assumed (incorrectly) that most of the job could be foisted off on other saps. He could do the ceremonial stuff, do his beloved rallies and play like he is King. Oh, and play golf whenever he liked. But that has turned out to be not so true and then there is the Mueller probe. Getting on his last nerve.

He never counted on getting caught or exposed for his Russian connections. Now Mueller is closing in with multiple indictments to people connected to tRump. He feels the hot breath of justice breathing down his neck and it is driving him quite to the brink of sanity. His already existing mental health issues have gotten worse with the non-stop pressure. tRump really is mad in every sense of that word. I don’t see any way out of this except for him to crack open like a melon and fall completely apart. If there is ANY justice in this world, it will happen in prime time, LIVE, on a widely televised event. It wouldn’t surprise me if he melted into a gooey puddle just like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz with that pile of thatched straw on top.

[Bradshaw3]

36. Very nice summary n/t

[Dem2]

38. Nicely said

[RobinA]

45. Yep!

And to take it a bit further, his seeming regression, while maybe in part age-related, is because he is a narcissist out of his comfort zone away from the world he has built in which he can function. Like a drowning swimmer, he is thrashing about trying to get back on firm footing. In totally over his head and in an unfamiliar environment, his normal coping skills are out the window and he's got nothing to fall back on. For this very reason, I have predicted a psychotic break since the day he was elected. I have to say, I thought it would come sooner. Assuming it hasn't already.

To use an example, and I am not implying with the example that he is seriously mentally ill, just that this is not an unheard of phenomenon... People who develop serious mental illness often begin to do so in their late teens. It begins and they live in the house they have lived in most of their lives, with their parents or parent who have always been there, they go to a school they are familiar with, have friends they know, etc. The symptoms start to arise and they can fit their coping with them into their already established routine, although they are using more of their resources to hold things together. The illness can be stressful, but the environment is not, because it is known and they are used to working within it, thus they can hide things a bit and function fairly well. Then they go to college. EVERYTHING is different. They don't know the environment, the coping skills they've developed over time for the illness are out the window. They have to learn a new environment (stressful in and of itself) AND they have to do it while compromised AND they have to cope with the symptoms, now becoming more evident because of the stress of the new environment. They run out of resources to deal with it all. So they have their first break freshman year of college.

Trump is an adult with a personality disorder. He's been able to set up a world for himself in which he can get what he needs and function fairly well, but functioning requires a significant percentage of his resources. He's become somewhat inflexible in how he gets his needs met, as do we all by the time we are his age. Suddenly he's thrown into Yikes! the mother of all environment changes. NOTHING he used to do works. His old coping skills don't work in this new life. He can't get what he needs to function reasonably well. He rapidly runs out of resources for dealing and he refuses to conserve resources by asking for help. So, the perceived regression. Back in NYC in Trump Tower he had things figured out, knew what was what and what to expect, how to work the environment. Now? He's a guy running on empty with no way to gas up.

[Grasswire2]

30. they'll have to hide his grave...

....because if you think his Hollywood star was desecrated, just imagine what people would do to his grave! Take a ticket, get in line to piss on it if you can find it.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

31. Yet, when it comes to being a racist, odious traitor in WH sure has all his faculties intact.

Must be selective locura.

[BigmanPigman]

32. He thrives on chaos and creates his own if none exists.

I keep hoping every single morning that CNN will have Latest Breaking News that he stroked out or had a massive heart attack. I want him to live but completely incapacitated...to live a long enough be able to see Dems win, complete ALL investigations and obtain fair punishments for everyone who has been the slightest bit complicit since the 1980s. I want him to suffer total bankruptcy, humiliation and the entire world to point and laugh at his new title as the "Un-American Traitor". I want him to get the least money can buy in a prison hospital ward. I hope he lives a long, slow painful life in there with other rats and cockroaches. A quick and painless death is reserved for decent, caring people, NOT this sadistic bastard.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. "Thrive" Is A Strong Word, BP

This is person who inherited so much wealth that the net worth should be 2.5x of that advertised, and that's if one believes the advertised net worth. (I don't)

5 BKO filings and being worth 40% (at most) of what one could have been worth by doing NOTHING isn't exactly thriving.

[Totally Tunsie]

62. All of this, please, plus add in that when the Dems win, the first thing BigBoy needs to see

and experience is watching them reinstate everything that he reversed when he entered office, returning it to the Obama era. Also, the Obamas should be invited as special guests to every public event, attending those they wish to, front and center, so that they appear in all recordings and newscasts just to drive BigBoy even madder.

His years after leaving the WH need to be as painful as possible.

[BigmanPigman]

63. That would be the cherry on top!

Perfect Karma.

40. Time is up . Bring on the hook

Bye Donald

Yes he will be mad he is being removed. I really don't care do you?

43. If I prayed.. it would be for

48. hey, joe, we never forget that you and mika helped support this lying, thieving bastard

who is currently busy destroying this country.

[klook]

51. When was it that Scarborough quit normalizing him

and sucking up to him - was that more than 18 months ago?

[HopeAgain]

53. I don't necessarily buy this

Scarborough has to justify his past support for this cretin. Trump has been unwell from day one. Central park 5, birther movement, pretending to be his own publicist. I'm not sure we are seeing anything new...

[Saboburns]

54. I'm mot sure I can agree here

I have had the misfortune to know about Donald Trump since the early 1980's. Just through TV, magazines, and newspapers. It would have been for everybody if he were unknown to to the world, but it was not to be. I saw, I listened, I followed, in horror, is 2008, and 2012 campaigns. In particular his whole Birther epic which lasted for years where Donald not only accused Barack Obama of not being an American, but claimed to have sent his investigator to Hawaii, TRUMP CLAIMED HE PROVED OBAMA WAS NOT AN AMERICAN (how did his bitherism not become a thing in 2016 election?)

To be perfectly honest Donald Trump is the same lying, conniving, thieving, sex offending, racist, sexist, ignorant, arrogant, most disgusting, foolish Prick with the world's worst comb-over he's ALWAYS been.

[Ferrets are Cool]

59. Power corrupts absolutely, when you are corrupt before getting it,

the problem is exacerbated. And praying wont help a fucking thing.

[C Moon]

60. I hope he's well, because I want him to face his prosecution

as well as EVERY SINGLE OTHER GOPUTIN.
