He's had a psychotic break

[PCIntern]

He has been told that he’s losing badly and his world is crumbling around him and he has had a break. He needs medication and to be 25thd. Immediately. He could without question attempt to launch a nuclear missile. He is capable of any behavior at this stage.

[Sugarcoated]

1. What did he do now?

[PCIntern]

3. Everything plus saying that Gov. Witmer should

Go to jail

[roamer65]

65. I'd like to see them try to take my governor to jail.

That would be the opening of a very horrible Pandora’s box.

[world wide wally]

87. Which brings up the question of whether the kidnappers were working for Trump.

[cwydro]

98. He's been this way all along.

Not seeing a difference.

[MFM008]

52. why do you need

elaboration?

[SheltieLover]

2. What now?

[Newest Reality]

4. We...

We all figured that would happen, right?

Malignant narcissist? Not getting his way? Breaking down? His "reality" that he convinces himself is real is no longer working for him and his "power of positive thinking" which has turned into one, massive delusion and it is falling apart big time.

It's a syndrome.

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. His whole life has been a psychotic break. nt

[PCIntern]

6. Not quite.

He was living in a glass house. Somebody played the Memorex tape.

BOOM.

[Dem2theMax]

69. Perfect description.

[Enterstageleft]

7. I don't think it is any dumber or idiotic than since it's election...

BUT...it is more desperate.

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. All thanks to 60+ million deluded voters/Deplorables

and his Senate RePutinican enablers.

[Skittles]

45. and Russia

yup

[USALiberal]

9. More DU Doctors! nt

[PCIntern]

11. You're right.

I am.

[USALiberal]

20. Dentist? nt

[PCIntern]

23. That is correct and have 43 years of

treating people with psychiatric disorders, many of whom were and are on heavy medication. I know what I’m looking at.

[Cirque du So-What]

32. Too many anti-dentites in the world

[PCIntern]

35. Tee-riffic!

[GoneOffShore]

97. He chewed it over and thought better of it.

[RKP5637]

36. Trump, certainly fits the pattern. He is really a case book study for a number of disorders! It is

getting scary and concerning on how this is going to end.

[USALiberal]

44. So, what happens next? Timeframe? nt

[sheshe2]

58. +++

[Blue_playwright]

70. My hub the therapist...

Says he has more than one disorder but he is damn near word for word from the DSM-V about malignant narcissism and he suspects borderline personality disorder is squeezed in there, too. If it wasn’t a serious shitshow it would be a fun train wrecking shitshow to watch.

[crimycarny]

86. Yep, my brother too

Psychologist for over 40 years now and he had the exact same diagnosis, malignant narcissist with some sort of borderline personality as well.

[Turin_C3PO]

17. So you disagree that Trump is psychotic?

Hmmm....

[USALiberal]

22. Weekly we get a lot of predictions, nothing ever happens. nt

[Turin_C3PO]

26. What do you expect to happen?

He won’t go to a doctor to get diagnosed. Many, many psychiatrists have labeled Trump as a malignant,narcissistic, sociopath. It’s quite obvious even to non professionals.

[RKP5637]

39. I think eventually he will call out indirectly his deranged followers to do something

really destructive ... I don't know what that might be, but I I really have bad vibes about it.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

76. One place I wouldn't want to be while he's got access to the nuclear codes:

He's had a real bad attitude about Iran even before he yanked us out of the nuclear accord Obama negotiated.

[RKP5637]

84. I do think he will be ignored if it's crazy. n/t

[NYC Liberal]

90. Nixon's secretary of defense told the Joint Chiefs to check with him or

Kissinger before carrying out any military orders in the final days. Nixon was drinking heavily at that point.

It’ll happen again. Not the drinking but the ignoring. They’ll try to placate him or distract him if he tries anything.

[RKP5637]

105. I think in the last days Nixon also used to walk around at night talking to the portraits in the WH,

something like that. Trump, is likely to totally flip out IMO. He's also a control freak for what he wants. He will go berserk when it finally sinks in that he can not bully and try to control the situation of You're Fired.

[cwydro]

82. This.

Yup.

[Tarc]

33. Yes, I disagree

Donald Trump...by conscious, deliberate choice...is a disguising, deplorable human being. It isn't explained away by mental illness, or Daddy Trump being mean to him when he was little.

He has agency, he has no conscience or moral center, he chooses his actions on how it will satisfy his wants & desires in the immediate moment.

[Turin_C3PO]

41. Okay.

Maybe not psychotic. But narcissistic sociopath for sure. I read an article that was endorsed by dozens of professionals labeling him as such. He’s just a terrible person, basically.

[Skittles]

47. it doesn't take a doctor to see how sick he is

he is a fucking nutcase

[USALiberal]

48. Or just an asshole! I have known many who act like him! nt

[Skittles]

49. mmmmm, no

the fucked up people we know in real life don't have an entire political party enabling them

done here, if you cannot see how sick he is that's your issue

[USALiberal]

51. That is the political party's issue, not trumps. nt

[denbot]

60. Baw ha ha ha

Yeah, OK..

[yuiyoshida]

83. dembot love your gif!! dancing KAMALA

I just lover her

[hurple]

10. What would the party enablers do ...

What would his sycophants and toadies do if he were to launch a nuclear strike against... oh let's say... California.

One or two might, just might, release a statement that his latest actions were a bit troubling...

[wnylib]

88. Susan Collins would feel concerned.

[Ilsa]

12. The covid-19 and drugs have done a number on his brain. nt

[Polly Hennessey]

13. I am sure the nuclear codes have

been replaced with brightly colored keys and an adorable design.

[RKP5637]

24. I've read they've been changed to crayons. n/t

[panader0]

40. Or people, woman, man, camera, TV.

[not_the_one]

101. Or Voters, Electoral College, Inaguration, Prosecution, Cell

n/t

[Doodley]

14. Agree that based on what we've seen and heard, he is capable of anything.

General Kelly is right, if he said Trump is the most flawed human being he has ever known. Who has ever known somebody as narcissistic as Trump, who is so openly vindictive and behaves like a spoilt-rotten two year old? IMO, Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet. He is the last person who should have access to WMD. That he is surrounded only by yes-men means there is no controls over what angry impulse he may have at three o'clock in the morning one day after his election defeat.

[LuvNewcastle]

15. I like to think that there are people watching him.

After all the ridiculous behavior he's exhibited, we should all be praying that there is a shadow government looking out for our survival. They might let him strut around and brag on himself, but he's not running anything.

[RKP5637]

46. I think/hope there are contingency plans being made if this gets out of control. Trump

may be president, but there are a lot of powerful people who see him for what he is. I think he is being watched, probably closer than we might even think (I hope).

[mucifer]

16. over 40% of the population of the USA say they are going to vote for him

[Stuart G]

25. I think when the votes are counted, Trump's total will be somewhere around 35% maybe less.

Many will not vote, and when many vote they will realize the cost of reelecting Trump.

Trump will lose in a way he does not know. He has exposed his insanity, and it will bite him in a way
that he cannot imagine.

[pwb]

110. Voting population not

population. 40& of the entire population is about 140, 000, 000 . Only about 150,000,000 vote so?

[tavernier]

18. Oh crap!

If anyone else had posted this, I might be skeptical , but coming from you it scares the daylights out of me!!

[PCIntern]

21. Thank you and

This is a combination of psychopathology, psychotropic medication m, and inevitable personal destruction. It is a clear and present danger.

[ecstatic]

19. I wonder if they would actually obey him if he attempted to launch

nuclear missiles? Regardless, this is an unacceptable situation. So dangerous!

[Stuart G]

29. I don't think anyone would obey him if attempted to launch any missiles..

...The military knows he is insane. Former leaders of our military have said so. What other evidence do
we need?...Trump will not do that. He will stay at length in Florida, and then after the election and Biden wins,
we will hear no more...Especially after Jan 21.

[moonscape]

61. His craving for attention won't stop Jan 21. I'm afraid

we’ll never stop hearing from him in some way, though lord knows I hope you’re right. I envision him amplifying every conspiracy theory out there in perpetuity.

[BigmanPigman]

75. Agree 100%

We'll still be hearing, "Lock so and so up, it was so and so's fault, etc" from his grave 52 years after he has turned to dust.

[catchnrelease]

78. He can take Rush's place

One bloated gas-bag replaces another.

[Captain Zero]

79. When Rush Limbaugh finally keels over, he probably will be given that radio show??

My guess. So, yes, it can still get uglier.

[crickets]

68. Agreed.

Career military professionals will not bow to the whims of trump to launch nukes or start a war to suit his politics or to indulge his madness. They are well aware of who and what he is.

[LisaL]

27. How could you tell with him?

NT

[tavernier]

30. PC Intern is an experienced physician

and I trust his instinct based on knowledge and experience. It sounds like something will give very soon. I very much hope there are people monitoring his actions.

[PCIntern]

31. The tone is markedly worse

Yes I know...but it is unrestrained in the least. His use of the F-bomb the other day was not the first clue but it cemented my diagnosis.

[Ms. Toad]

54. I think that's the steroids.

My experience with my daughter on different steroids is that it didn't create rage, etc. BUT it multiplied whatever she was feeling at least 10-fold, and took away any ability to avoid acting on whatever she was feeling.

She was only 5 at the time . . . but since that's probably a little older than Trump's mental age it's probably a safe ground for assessment.

[PCIntern]

57. Agreed. But it has unleashed the malignant Id in extremis

[Ms. Toad]

59. Yup. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

111. That Happened To Me

I was on 1,200mg per day of Solumedrol for 6 days. Then, weened with prednisone for around 5 weeks. Solumedrol is a metabolite of prednisone, so it's effect is 25-30% that of prednisone. Basically, 1,500-1,600mg per day. IOW, a lot!
From day 3 to about the end of week 3, I was wound tighter than a suspension spring.
Happy was bouncing off the walls, happy.
Irritated was nuclear irritated.
Disappointed was end of the world, disappointed.
I controlled it & I'm not a sociopath, so there was no harm done. But, that isn't the case with PINO!

[Ms. Toad]

112. I don't remember the dosage my daughter was on,

but her taper was 50 day, so sounds about the same. She was not able to articulate what was going on as a 5-year old, but irritated was nuclear irrirated describes perfectly her reaction to me picking her up from the babysitter. She was so nuclear irritated that she literally tried to climb out of the car window while we were driving along at about 40 mph (after screaming and crying at the top of her lungs for several minutes after we had left the babysitter). I barely got the car pulled over in time to prevent it.

In that time period there were just so many times she was inconsolable - and all I could do was just grab her, wrap her in my arms against her struggles, and hold on as tight as I could. It was the only thing that seemed to calm her. And it tool a year before her emotions were back on even keel.

[ProfessorGAC]

113. Perhaps An Age Thing

I was in my late 30s. Only lasted a few weeks for me, but I can empathize.

[madaboutharry]

34. I agree with you 100%, PCIntern

He has really unraveled. He can no longer even pretend to be normal. He is in a constant unstable state and seems to be swinging back and forth between depression and out of control mania.

I think he is going to do something crazy at one of these rallies. He is going to say some lunatic thing, or try to take his clothes off, or say or do something indecent. He might have a breakdown right in front of the tv cameras.

[PCIntern]

37. Yes. He's in the midst of one right now.

[LisaL]

62. Well, his supporters are loving it.

NT

[orangecrush]

91. Because they

Are as fucked in the head as he is.

[RockRaven]

38. This is who he's always been.

And who he always will be.

[Ms. Toad]

55. Yes, but it's on steroids - which as the meme suggests -

multiplies whatever he is by several times.

[Squidly]

42. The president cant just launch a missile

he can order one launched, but I highly doubt the military would follow such an order knowing he is insane.

[PCIntern]

43. In theory that is correct.

Do you feel lucky?

[Ms. Toad]

56. That sounds a lot to me like the people who voted for him expecting those around him

to tamp down on his unrestrained impulses. That hasn't happened yet.

[Mr.Bill]

73. I would be willing to bet

that has already happened. Perhaps more than once.

[DENVERPOPS]

74. Yes

I read what happens exactly when, and if, the president gives the orders and codes. It instantly goes to a group of generals and commanders who decide to continue or not. The entire process from opening the football, to dispatching the orders to all the missile sites is 14 minutes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

50. Toward the end of the Watergate proceedings Nixon was getting kind of squirrelly -

not nearly as barking mad as Trump, but enough to be worrisome, and so Defense Secretary Schlesinger and the Joint Chiefs were watching closely to be sure that no unauthorized orders were given to military units by the White House.

I hope somebody is watching His Lardship at least as carefully.

[RKP5637]

107. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Kingofalldems]

53. He's freaking dancing.

That's a red flag right there.

[Marie Marie]

66. IKR - when I saw that my first thought was that those steroids must be some powerful shit.

[UTUSN]

63. "attempt to launch" - It might be the fastest way to be rid of him, deposed and arrested.

[Cozmo]

64. How can you tell?

[orleans]

67. link?

(just kidding!)

[Nexus2]

71. This article has some interesting to say on the Tweety's mental state.

The President is a Psychopath.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

72. He is a fear monger..using his behavior to scare the shit out of people so that they vote for him

..if they don't then all hell breaks out. What did he tell his kknazisbuds to do--stand back, stand by ..at that point he was very coherent --didn't hesitate, made his words count --now that did scare la mierda [shit] out of me--he' s one sick racist mf !

[disalitervisum]

77. the "disorder" is that he's a criminal

criminals fuck people.

[speaknow]

80. He has been sick for

a long time. He knows the crap he has done, thats way he has said, if I lose you'll never see
or hear from me again and now he says
he'll leave the country. Because he knows
the Law is coming after him. He is going to
flee, him and the rest of his flock

[Dream Girl]

92. I got that too. He is stating what's going to happen. He will use his influence on the crazies

To hold American hostage. He will never be prosecuted.

[yuiyoshida]

81. WOULD the US military launch a Nuclear Missile at A US city??

I certainly hope not. I hope the Military has more common sense than this asshole.

[RKP5637]

85. That would be very bizarre and the repercussions would be incredible. Yep, the military is not dumb.

He's also seen as a totally deranged asshole by zillions of people.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

102. Maybe he'd like to see San Francisco nuked into oblivion, on green night-vision ...

... in the Situation Room.

George Lucas could produce the effects, his Generals could act tough and military. He might be convinced enough that he would shut up for a while.

All this while the people of San Francisco continue their lives as usual.

[yuiyoshida]

104. well, as close as we can during

a pandemic but, I really don't think Trump focuses any attention to the West coast...we didn't vote for him, so he gives us the finger right back.... no money for the Fires .. he is NOT CALIFORNIA's President... we're waiting for the next one!

[Trueblue Texan]

89. But, wait...

How could you tell he had a psychotic break? Not really kidding.

[JoeOtterbein]

93. Actually, Trump broke years ago and is presently trying to kill all of us...

...with Covid-19.

It's working.

(tears)

[BarbD]

94. I am more concerned about him continuing to encourage violence.

He's driving his supporters to a fever pitch. Ranting about what would happen if he loses. Retweeting Q'Anon theories.

Whoever is monitoring his meds has to keep him going -- or ??????????

Scary shit!

[RKP5637]

106. His supporters will likely go berserk too. He has gathered up, it seems, most crazies and misfits

in the US who are as wacky as he is or even worse. I was taught at the university there is about a 25% lunatic fringe in the US that is functional. And IMO he has added to that. And others seem to just love crazy and authoritarians. There are a lot of really F'ed up people in the US. Probably similar to many countries. He has amassed them into a cult.

[tormadjax]

95. This is scary! n/t

[JCMach1]

96. I will just go on the record again, dexamethasone is a hell of a drug

I am 100% sure he is still on at least the oral version.

[jimlup]

99. Yes but this has been true since well before he even started running for PROTUS

The guy is awful beyond words and has been ...

[Joelteply]

100. I could use a psychotic break

[not_the_one]

103. As could we all. WELCOME!!!

We can't let ourselves be overwhelmed before the job is done.

Which is why we "keep on truckin'".

[Joelteply]

109. Thank you

I’ll post a thread in a bit about how I was arrested for telling someone she was a bad Christian for supporting Trump. Cops magically showed up, turned their cameras off, and lied. Total setup. Watch out.

[Kid Berwyn]

108. Ask your doctor about Tantrum.

Murdoch not giving the same old lift?

Not getting your way with the Wolverine Wompwomps any more?

Congress complaining about “facts” again?

Unable to rig an erection or fix an election?

There may be help for those used to a life of sloth and getting their way on NBC.

Ask your health care provider about Tantrum.
