"So the person with sole authority to launch the most destructive arsenal of nukes in the world..."



Brian Klaas ✔@brianklaas

So the person with sole authority to launch the most destructive arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world is taking a drug that could induce paranoia, hallucinations, and psychosis. (And it’s not like he was exactly stable before).

Michelle Goldberg ✔@michelleinbklyn

Side effects of hydroxychloroquine include paranoia, hallucinations and psychosis

Clinton on Trump: "A man you can bait with a tweet" can't be trusted "with nuclear weapons"
So just ask yourself: Do you really think Donald Trump have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief?

Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign.

He loses his cool at the slightest provocation. When he's gotten a tough question from a reporter. When he's challenged in a debate. When he sees a protestor at a rally.

Imagine, if you dare, imagine — imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.

I can't put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the Cuban Missile Crisis. She said that what worried President Kennedy during that very dangerous time was that a war might be started – not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men – the ones moved by fear and pride.

He should step down for at least as long as he's under psychosis-inducing medication.

5. I fear for the whole freaking world with this "stable genius." I hope he is humiliated in November.

Then the lawyers can have him. For the rest of his sorry years.

I don't believe it for one minute. This is just another desperate attempt to get other people to take it. And to juice the stock market. And to make Democrats and the scientists look bad by not endorsing this "promising" drug.

9. Instant gratification. Instant hallucination. Instant overspeculation. Instant decertification.

Instant indemnification.

Instant exemplification.

Instant rationalization.

Instant vilification.

Instant ramification.

Instant ultrafiltration.

Instant excommunication.

Instant reaccreditation.

Instant overstimulation.

Instant recontamination.

Words fail me when describing behaviors of MF45.

14. He was already well into malignant paranoia.

All the most overt symptoms of that mental disorder, including the obvious eye momvement "tells" -- the "shifty" eyes signs. His other and most prevalent symptom (especially within the last four or five years, IMO), is daily projection of his own devolvement (derangement) onto others, especially President Obama.
