Trump is Seriously Disintegrating

In his recent news announcement regarding the G7 being held at his Doral golf club in Miami, Trump could barely stand up. Between that, sweating profusely, and verbally rambling, he looks like he’s on his last legs.

(!!!), satisfaction requires him to mentally AND physically collapse some time...today it sounds like. Certainly not later than tomorrow.

Of interest is that even the pop-psychology journal Psychology Today felt a need to put out an article addressing Trump and mental disorder. It waffles cautiously, but that it exists at all is part of an extraordinary development in American history.

Did a poll and about 90% said he was going nuts, 10% said he was trolling us. Quite a few said both. I got to thinking, I guess maybe he’s doing both. I don’t even think he has the focus to try to say something outlandish to change the media focus. Anything he says is outlandish. I think he just loves seeing his name every day, everywhere. I’m sure he loves it when commentators attribute every move of the stock market to him. I don’t buy there’s always a correlation. That being said he’s obviously deteriorating at an accelerated rate. And he’s already certifiable.

two years ago. He has always rambled verbally, never answers a question coherently, knows nothing about anything, and all too often he sounds like a sixth grader who didn't read the assignment and is trying to fake his way through a question. The difference between him and the sixth grader is that the latter's teacher will give the low grade deserved, where Trump is surrounded by enablers who apparently never correct him on anything at all.

Workers of iniquity. Your words, not mine.

Subdue evil. Make possible the peace that passes understanding. Bring forth healing.

If I am remiss, I'll answer for that.

If * seeks salvation, that ball is in 'his' court.

I hear from someone around me, "Maybe Pence will save him." 🙄

The Lord God desires EVERYONE to receive/come to Salvation, but He will not force anyone or drag them against their own will.

If there are evil works of iniquity perpetrated by the Enemy of our souls upon His creation, we are directed to pray for deliverance by the manner in which the Lord determines.

This just came forth from me. Forgive if sounding preachy.

pushed for right wing / theocratic policies, but that would make it easy for us to call out what is happening in real time and squash it.

With trump, not only are we under right wing assault with judicial appointments and women's rights (which rarely gets called out due to the non stop chaos), we are also in physical danger, our collective health and sanity has taken a downturn, people are terrified, families separated, kids are in cages, white supremacists feel empowered to kill, our election systems are vulnerable and the country has never been more divided. This is a "president" who regularly says deeply hurtful, racist, disgusting things about his own constituents. That's completely unacceptable!

The chaos trump has introduced on the international stage is just as bad--dividing our allies, groveling to putin, leaving the climate pact, leaving the Iran deal, encouraging Brazil's President to exploit the Amazon, and now the global economy is at risk of collapsing due to trump's trade war.

I'm not sure what metric is being used when stating that pence would be worse. I could see that line of thinking back in 2017, but not now. trump picking his 3rd scotus pick is indistinguishable from pence, because trump is not the one making those decisions, but he is the one responsible for all the other shit mentioned.

I think he could do that because it is a kind of tape loop of old information he committed to memory long ago because it engages him.

He now lacks the capacity to take in new information -- and I think he finds government and its details boring. He is, in fact, mentally incapacitated.

I base this on the testimony of numerous people who tried to work with him over the past couple of years, not just observations on the tv machine.
