I heard that comment on either MSNBC or CNN tonight.
It was in reference as to why Trump has not commented on the recent cyber attack on the U.S.,
the massive rising death totals from COVID-19,
or the distribution of the new vaccines.
Apparently Trump is overwhelmed with depression and cannot imagine that he really lost the election.
He worshipped authoritarian leaders, and can't believe he can't cling to power somehow.
Personally I think Trump hasn't commented on the crises because he doesn't give a shit.

he isn't depressed because honestly he still thinks he is having a second term. it hasn't sunk in. even when Biden is sworn in he will still believe he is the president and he'll be back in the white house a day later........

Irish_Dem
(81,277 posts)he is clearly manic.
Nixon was given valium at the end, and someone kept Bush in booze, he was never sober.l
Military "go and no go" drugs are sedatives, sleeping pills and uppers.
Pilots have used them since Viet Nam. Flight surgeons dispense them routinely during war time.
Trump'e erratic behavior is worse than usual.
And he has days of quiet, then days of mania and psychosis.
I would bet he is being medicated.
Right, he is at risk for overdose right now.
The GOP leaders hate Trump with a passion.
Putin is not his friend either right now.
These would be possible perps in the event of OD.

Yes, Donald Trump, the man, doesn't give a shit but now is no different than it ever has been. It is just that he sees no political advantange to doing anything so he does nothing. I worry about how it will end... I think it might be much worse than we are able to imagine. The guy is seriously lost in hell and he has no soul so ...

The guy apparently bled a ton, and the fucker didn't express the least bit of sympathy on his condition. His only reaction was to complain about having to see the blood, and how much it grossed him out, so to speak.

I'm sure the intelligence committees know what's up but can't talk about it. But you can be sure they're freaking out. Maybe we'll be lucky and a reporter will go out to pick up their morning paper and notice a big envelope stuffed into their mailbox.

2) worried what else he might do to us.
Depression almost always includes various degrees of lethargy. You don't even want to do the fun things (let alone the usual obligations).
I don't know maybe depressed and furious? Not sure of that combination.
Or as someone pointed he's not depressed because he's in on it (I'm assuming that refers to letting Putin's people hack our various institutions and others).
I'm concerned about Americans (not the worst ones too much).
And the rest of the whole world, too.

If he truly is in that kind of state it can go anywhere from deep depression to rage to psychosis. With him I wouldnt know what to predict. An astounding amount actually resides with the enablers.
herding cats
(20,049 posts)While he was traipsing about playing golf, saying Covid-19 was a Democratic hoax, working on delaying legal ballots from being counted, gutting our cyber security (as Russia was walking in our back door to sink hooks into our infrastructure!), attempting to circumvent our very democracy and working out an angle to personally profit from doing so... We've been busy dealing with not being able to see our families and loved ones. Trying to avoid a pandemic we've been tossed to the wolves to try and survive. With no federal guidance, because it was bad for his 'campaign' to admit it was going to kill us. Which it has, in massive numbers. We've watch our friends in healthcare die, our loved ones in nursing homes die, our grandparents, parents, siblings and yes, even our children in some cases die from the pandemic.
We've lost our jobs, or saw a huge reduction in income if we're service workers. Or, we're having to work because we're "essential" and our clients and customers think potentially exposing us to the virus by not wearing masks is a fun political statement for them to make. We've lost damn near everything and the tiniest thread we still have is in tatters and we're about to fall into the abyss. And, we're the lucky ones. Many of us here in America are already there. The list of our grievances goes on and on!
That such a narcissistic man may be feeling depressed is truly of no concern to me after all he's done to us. I'll be glad when he's a bad memory in our history.

If anyone ever deserved to be globally mocked in their worst moments, it's him.

If it does, hire lawyers to get your ass out of the sling, declare bankruptcy, and start all over again.
You can hire 81 lawyers. You can't hire 81 million voters. They're not for sale, you can't sue them, and you can't get a court order taking away their right to vote (Republicans have been trying for decades, so they know).

Many foreign leaders have told him that they wish they could get as depressed as he was.
A lot of people have called him and told him that they were depressed but couldn't believe how much more depressed he was than they were. Dozens of waitresses called him and told him that if they were as depressed as he was they would start cutting themselves.

Hes making plenty of decisions, isnt he? Which agency hell ruin next, which dictator hell praise tomorrow, which offspring hell try to pardon first.
Trump is probably a little edgy right now, trying to figure out how to stay in power so he doesnt have to face the SDNY and whatever else folks have in store for him. Bully King is about to be dragged off his throne....and he knows it. Hence, the ploy.
