Trump is mentally ill.

[madaboutharry]

The gathering now at The White House is insanity. The people in the room are cult members.

He is now riffing at how marvelous his SOTU speech was last night. Sniff, Sniff, Sniff.....

"Nothing wrong....nothing wrong."

This is like watching a film clip from 1939 Berlin.

America is lost.

[malaise]

1. IMPOTUS just called his impeachment bullshit

He's going to take that bullshit to the grave

[alterfurz]

9. #imPOtuS

[malaise]

11. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[joost5]

39. +1 WOW!! perfect cartoon nt

[bdamomma]

43. yup that's him

alright.

Well he doesn't read about past history, he is in for quite a surprise, history will not be kind to him either.

[southerncrone]

90. I question if he can read.

[mountain grammy]

51. Perfect!

[denem]

64. He's looking more and more like a nightmare out of The Wall movie.

Tear down The Wall!

[58Sunliner]

65. Amen.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

84. fig leaf is oversized

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. Y'know, I swear like a dock worker but a president speaking from the WH should clean it up.

I realize cutting out swear words trims Trump's vocabulary by about 10% but he can still try.

[FoxNewsSucks]

55. Same here, and I can turn the cussing off

when it's not the appropriate place.

[cwydro]

78. He has no idea how decent people speak and conduct themselves appropriately.

No idea whatsoever.

[TNNurse]

44. Can you or I say bullshit on TV????

[louis-t]

72. And if a Dem did it, it would be

"soooo unpresidential, sooo not classy", etc etc.

[Captain Zero]

88. A dem would need to apologize

Every GOP personage in the country would be calling for it

[kentuck]

2. It is insanity.

Trump is insane.

[rockfordfile]

3. why watch it?

[treestar]

36. to know it is reality

[riversedge]

4. Trump really does not look well either.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. More red than orange today.

[PatSeg]

15. The worse things get,

the more bronzer makeup he puts on. It feels like he is getting darker and darker all the time.

[CaptYossarian]

42. Should we pick a cage for him?

[bdamomma]

45. that's a good idea.

let him feel what those children he has locked up feel.

Has he said yet that everyone loves him, because he will. Narcissistic personality personified.

[CaptYossarian]

57. Let's start him in a 6 X 8 at Gitmo for a year, then over to a smaller one in sweltering Laredo.

Then he can name each and every scorpion and tarantula "visitor" that crawl by.

Can we get Mexico to pay for feeding him?

[PatSeg]

68. Yeah, its funny

that white people who dislike people of color so much, try so hard to get darker.

[handmade34]

5. we are in for the fight of our life...

be willing to fight or get out of the way...

my veteran partner said this morning "the price of Freedom" is what we have to be willing to pay

[dustyscamp]

27. I agree we need to stop being soft with them and actually take a stand at some point

During all the wars America has fought in our brave heroes had to do things that they weren't proud of in order to beat back the forces of evil. Many didn't want to pick up the gun or kill another human being, but they had to. We will eventually need to do the same if we want to keep our Country

[bdamomma]

48. well it would completely surprised them

because they are trying to instill fear into everyone by their bullying tactics.

[badhair77]

6. I heard the sniffing right away.

This is nothing more than a campaign speech. And of course his legal term called him “sir.” More lies.

[shanti]

85. He was sniffing during the SOTU

Right at the beginning, Pelosi forgot that the mike was raised high and caught some of his sniffling on it. She realized what happened (the look on her face), and pulled it down. I didn't hear sniffing after that.

[H2O Man]

7. Respectfully disagree.

Trump is a sociopath, which is distinct from mental illness.

While we are watching a film that updates 1939 Berlin, the ending will be different. America isn't "lost," it's right here. We just need to update it.

[madaboutharry]

10. Yes, he is a sociopath.

I think a person can be a sociopath and mentally ill at the same time.

I admire your optimism on your hope for the future.

[H2O Man]

18. I'm watching him

gloat on tv now. Arrogance is generally what leads to a sociopath's downfall. The republicans own Trump's wrong-doing between now and November, and we'll rub their snotty noses in it. If Trump is remembered for anything, it will be for being impeached, and then thoroughly humiliated in November.

(I recommended the OP.)

[bdamomma]

50. arrogance can lead

to a big downfall, he start getting sloppy and each mistake can be used against him.

[PatSeg]

19. I agree

He was always a sociopath, but after reading A Very Stable Genius, I think he is insane. His behavior is batshit crazy. You can be a sociopath and still function like a relatively normal person, Trump cannot.

[H2O Man]

21. Sociopaths under

pressure will often experiences episodes of psychosis, as Trump clearly does.

[PatSeg]

24. Yes

I think the many pressures of the presidency have pushed him over the edge. He was able to function as a sociopath for many years, but he had more control over his environment. He lived in a world of his making, but outside that bubble, he is lost and all his insecurities and inadequacies come to the surface.

What is scary is he will never admit he is wrong or give up.

[H2O Man]

28. In his mind,

he has never been wrong. The very idea of it makes him react by attacking those who point out his errors.

It is an unsettling time. But we will win.

[PatSeg]

34. And on a positive note,

we will hopefully be more vigilant in the future. Too many people, especially journalists and pundits, didn't believe it was possible for a man like Trump to get elected. Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better.

[H2O Man]

35. Exactly right!

The media viewed him as an ass-clown that could give them a temporary boost in ratings. While he is an ass-clown, the coverage they gave him for free allowed him to win the republican primary and to steal the general election.

Politics moves in cycles. We are certainly at a low point now, that compares to previous low points in US history. It is worse, in that it threatens the global society. But 2018 showed that good people are on the rise.

[PatSeg]

37. Oh yes, I agree

And hopefully when we take back the White House and possibly the senate, we won't be told to just move forward like in 2008, when no one was held accountable for black sites, torture, the Iraq war, and the financial meltdown. There has to be accountability and consequences.

[llmart]

56. Thank you for always being upbeat and giving us an optimistic outlook...

especially when we need it most.

I just really, really hope you are 100% correct.

[Caliman73]

20. Sociopathy is likely characterized by some types of mental illness...

Though I understand and agree with what you are saying.

Saying that someone is mentally ill as an explanation of bizarre or destructive behaviors often stigmatizes people who have major mental illnesses like Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder. It is often used to separate ourselves from someone who is behaving the way the Trump behaves or other bad faith actors.

I would bet good money that Trump could be diagnosed with at least 2 personality disorders. Anti-Social Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I also agree that while things seem precarious right now, America is not lost.

[H2O Man]

23. They tend to have

the same rates of major mental illness as the larger society. And certainly they have aspects of personality disorders. There has never been a sociopath, for example, who is not narcissistic. That's why it is important to use the correct terms for these people, rather than bending to use the terms that are dictated by insurance companies, and used by clinicians in order to be paid.

[58Sunliner]

67. He undoubtedly has a host of mental issues in addition to being a sociopath.

Long term stimulant abuse is often marked by delusions and paranoia. Narcissism, dementia etc..

[Azathoth]

73. He's genuinely mentally ill. He's also a sociopath and an asshole.

His deficits in thinking and behavior are clear signs of serious illness: the racing and wandering thoughts, progressively worsening grasp on language, increasingly violent mood swings, signs that he is being medicated, etc.

[mzmolly]

87. Exactly!

[oasis]

12. MAGA rally within the walls of the White House.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Omg..we laugh about wanting to puke...I literally gagged

Room full of trump lovers cheering him. Then they played the presidentail March music.

" I has a rough campaign, nasty, nastiest campaign anyone has ever been in."

Now trashing people

[Mike 03]

14. It's impossible to deny at this point.

This audience should be ashamed, applauding this very sick man.

[handmade34]

33. it is a cult of wealthy and powerful

I am sickened

[nolabear]

17. He's a sociopath but THEY astound me. They're laughing and applauding.

This...this thing that doesn’t exactly meet the requirement for “human” is destroying the office of the presidency and they’re yukking it up. He’s doing nothing but committing an act of molestation on America and they’re the same as those we call stupid at his rallies.

They are all sure they’re special. They are thriving on the pain of others.

We need to remember this and defeat every last one of them.

[CaptYossarian]

49. They know he'sinsane and would kill them in a Mar-a-Lago minute.

They're laughing and applauding for survival. He's never been funny.

[kentuck]

22. They have conflicting emotions..

They cheer.

Then, they feel ashamed. Simultaneously, they are embarrassed. Then, they laugh.

They tell themselves, it is normal. There are nervous reactions.

Then, they applaud.

They suffer in their mental turmoil.

[mountain grammy]

54. You mean like they have a conscience?

They don’t think at all.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. "Adam Schiff is a horrible vicious person". BULLSHIT

Last edited Thu Feb 6, 2020, 02:46 PM - Edit history (1)

Why I knew for a fact the many GOP knew trump was guilty as hell. When I saw them show respect for Schiff. They knew he proved it. And, they knew he was an incredibly decent man.

[azureblue]

63. Projection

It's what Trump always does

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. This is one big riff

[snowybirdie]

29. Just said

Americans are suckers! But he's turning that around. Phew! Bashing everyone and everything.

[Iliyah]

30. Nutso . . . .

[Skya Rhen]

31. Brace for 4 more years of this if our party does not get serious about getting rid of Trump.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

32. Trump is an evil asshole.

He knows what he did to get what he wanted.
There is evidence sociopaths choose to abuse. Trump does not have mental illness. Maybe some age related disease or brain damage .

[Eyeball_Kid]

75. I spent decades in the mental health business.

I can diagnose using the DSM guidelines. Not a big deal.

We can dither with dual diagnoses and differential hair splitting until the cows come home. In the end, Trump is just an evil asshole who needs to be locked up until he’s dead.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

80. Agree with ya there.

[ffr]

38. Meanwhile, for democrats, THIS IS OUR FINEST MOMENT.

Democrat strong.

DEMOCRAT PROUD!



Keep the pressure on until they split at the seams. The rePuticans are almost there!

[denem]

66. Yes we can. And we must.

Nancy is doing us proud. Gloves off. Punch hard.

[yaesu]

40. I think most if not all tRumpsters suffer from some sort of mental illness which is amplified by

listening to dead man walking or fox news, AKA, fox lobotomy.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

41. Yes..was eerily indicative of 1939 rally/the gardens @ links

[Lonestarblue]

46. I wish there was some way to find out what drugs he is taking besides the ones from his physical.

For example, if he is taking anti-psychotic drugs, the public needs to know that because his delusions and psychoses are dangerous to the country.

[CaptYossarian]

53. We should find out--because they're not working.

[azureblue]

61. we already know

Adderall and UK version of Sudafed. Which is prescription only in the US because of the pseudoephedrine in it. There is some picture of him sitting down, with an open drawer behind him, full of UK Sudafed..

[spanone]

47. John Harwood said as much on CNN right after that rally in the East Room of the WH

[cilla4progress]

52. Think of how fun it will be

When his whole cabal falls apart.

[DeSmet]

58. Damn

With this Iowa debacle, this insane, narcissistic sociopath is kicking our ass. They are loving him like they loved Reagan for heaven's sake. Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Fifth paragraph from Marie Yovanovitch

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/opinions-marie-yovanovitch-these-are-turbulent-times-but-we-will-persist-and-prevail/ar-BBZIety?ocid=spartandhp

There is tremendous strength in being right. Don't forget that.

[Walleye]

59. He should be on a 7-second delay.

[azureblue]

60. Don is a burned out drug addict

he has been snorting Adderall for decades now and it rotted his brain. He already was a stupid bully but the Drug just made it worse. He should be removed form office because of mental incompetency. He will do what all upper heads do - now that he thinks he can do what he wants to, he will snort even more until he either keels over or he does something so blindingly stupid that he will have to be committed. And I believe that day isn't far off. So let's keep needling him non stop until he does.

[Nasruddin]

62. More like Apr 1945

[Runningdawg]

69. What's worse is the 1/3 of America who supports him are insane

and they have been waiting over 150 years for revenge.

[58Sunliner]

70. How many sociopaths are in the room?

We keep forgetting to call them what they are. Who else would agree with his policies? They are all mentally ill to a degree.

[Azathoth]

71. More like a film clip of L Ron Hubbard at the end of his life

The crowds of drooling sycophants are the same, but Hitler was so far ahead of this mentally-impaired fool it's not even funny.

[2naSalit]

74. America is not lost.

We just need to clean house when it comes to our representatives in government and financial sectors.

[GoCubsGo]

76. Many of us have been saying that from the beginning.

Hundreds of psychiatrists have been saying the same thing. If everyone else doesn't finally see it now, then yes. We are lost.

[polichick]

77. He has narcissistic personality disorder PLUS he's a sociopath.

[democratisphere]

79. drumpf has been mentally ill since the day he was born. .

Unfortunately, his mental illness is contagious and there is no cure.

[Brother Mythos]

81. I think Individual-1 is a sociopath, who was raised by sociopaths.

Some people think he's a psychopath. But, from my research, psychopaths are a lot smarter, as they are capable of learning how to fake empathy. Individual-1 is neither smart enough, nor disciplined enough, to be able to fake empathy.

[Grammy23]

82. What is more disturbing to me is the posts on Facebook from his fans.

I generally block anything that someone else posts about him, so I don’t see posts from that source again. Today, the posts are from new sources nearly all posted by the same sad relative. She is very limited in her education, probably intellectually slow so it is no surprise she can’t think her way to understand how she is being duped. I just weep for those people who cannot see him for what he is and how he uses people like her.

So I’ll block more sources and they will recede into the background again but it makes me scared and frightened for our country to know those people are still out there. And they vote. 😵

[Collimator]

83. I agree that Trump is mentally ill.

I can't really speak to any division between mentally ill and socio/psychopath. I do believe that mental illness is a valid concern, and that it is a separate issue from lack of character.

The man needs treatment--for our sake, if not for his. Our society needs treatment, frankly. And we could all stand for some character-building lessons.

Above all else, Trump needs. . .For. The. Love. Of. God. . .boundaries. Mommy and Daddy probably didn't care what Donny did, as long as it didn't impact their comfort levels directly. Scream his head off--put in him in a room far away behind thick doors. Kick the staff in the knees--the staff get paid to put up with that crap. Problems with the law--make it go away by hook or by crook as long as it doesn't ruin a dinner party.

Trump will never get the love that he needs, because he has never acknowledged what is wrong with him. He will never understand that behavior has consequences, because he has been shielded from punishment for his actions to the point that he barely understands the concept of cause and effect. Extrapolating that idea into the moral realm is simply beyond his ken.

[easttexaslefty]

86. And water is wet.

[colsohlibgal]

89. Undoubtedly

So are a large percentage of his fans. The Daily Show sent Jordan Klepper out to talk to some of them and OMG they are just ignorant, brain dead, messed up.

This might be it, we must crush this movement, crush that sick Orange Dumb Creep and his Senate Cult. If not, well we had a pretty good run.

So no time for hurt feelings, Time to vigorously support whoever we nominate and everybody else down to School Boards and County Commissioners.
